Holmes’ New and Improved Varieties 
Michigan Golden Yellows-Resistant Celery 
“Michigan Golden’ is a new strain of self-blanching Celery that is highly 
resistant to Fusarium Yellows, also known as root rot and crown rot. It 
was bred by plant pathologists of Michigan State College. The stalks are 
somewhat longer than those of Golden Plume and are about the same width. 
“Michigan Golden’’ can be grown in soils where other kinds of yellow 
Celery fail because of disease. In tests for three seasons Michigan Golden 
has shown more resistant than any other variety of yellow Celery. This 
variety is not recommended as a substitute for other kinds of yellow 
Celery where these can be successfully grown. 
Seed of this variety is sold only in the original serially numbered and 
sealed packages. 
Holmes Seed Co. has been appointed a distributor for Michigan Golden.

Judy's Pink Break o' Day Tomato 
An Early Pink Smooth Fruit 
Discovered four years ago on the Judy Truck 
Farm at Dover, Ohio, and introduced by the Holmes 
Seed Co. in 1934. This new pink variety has all the 
good qualities of the parent Break o’ Day, besides 
it is somewhat earlier, more solid, of a bright pink 
color with no yellow cast. 
Where this variety was grown on stakes it has 
universally given satisfactory results and like all 
pink varieties gave better color and size on good 
sandy soil. We therefore recommend it for stakes 
and also suggest it be planted on light soil. 
The seed we are offering is hand-picked and from 
the most perfect types of specimens. Holmes Seed 
Co. is the only authorized and sole distributor of 
Judy’s Pink Break o’ Day seed grown on the Judy 
farm by the originators and offers their latest se¬ 
lection. Pkt., 35c; 34 oz., 85c; 34 oz., $1.50; oz., 
$2.50; 34 lb., $9.00, postpaid.

Break o’ Day Tomato. 
Golden Plume Special Celery 
(Tall Strain) 
It is of the highest quality which can absolutely be depended upon. It grows very 
heavy, tall, and has a full heart, matures early, blanches 
quickly, has a crisp sweet flavor, being larger and more 
plainly ribbed than the regular Golden Plume generally 
sold. This seed is New Jersey grown, costs more to pro¬ 
duce, is in great demand. Two to three inches taller to 
the first joint than our regular Golden Plume. Our seed 
supply is limited, order early. Pkt., 20c; 34 oz., 80c; oz., 
$1.50; 34 lb., $5.50; lb., $20.00. 
We consider this to be the most 
advanced development of the 
well-known Laxtonian. This Pea 
is similar to Laxtonian except 
that the pod is slightly longer 
and darker green, maturing sev¬ 
eral days earlier. It is a prolific 
bearer, and the handsome appear¬ 
ance of the rich dark green pods 
which are 4 to 434 inches long, well filled with dark 
green peas, assures a ready sale. Pkt., 10c; 34 lb., 
20c; lb., 35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.15; 10 lbs., $2.10, 
postpaid. Not prepaid, 15 lbs., $3.00; 
25 lbs., $4.75; 100 lbs., $18.00. 
Ohio Conner Beets 
Introduced by the Ohio Experiment 
Station, through the patience and 
pains taken by Dr. Roy Magruder, now 
of the U. S. Department of Agricul¬ 
ture. He started breeding toward the 
production of an early maturing, 
round, solid, dark red fleshed Beet 
specifically adapted for canning pur¬ 
poses. Out of thirty samples of Beets 
in 1923, Dr. Magruder selected the two 
outstanding varieties which were 
Holmes’ Deep Blood Turnip and Chi¬ 
cago Market. The Ohio Canner is the 
result of this seed selection carried 
on for the past nine years. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 15c; 34 lb., 45c; lb., $1.50. 
Golden Acre Special 
Cabbage 
This strain is most valuable for 
earliness and uniformity, and in quick¬ 
ness to reach maturity. It proved dis¬ 
tinctly superior to other strains in the 
trial tests at Marietta. We recommend 
it to growers who want the earliest 
and best. Pkt., 15c; 34 oz., 30c; oz., 
50c; 34 lb., $1.75; lb., $6.00. 
Penn State Ballhead Cabbage 
In Officially Sealed Packages 
This strain, originated by our good friend, Dr. C. E. 
Myers of the Pennsylvania State College, possesses dis¬ 
tinct characteristics. The head has a shorter core than 
the original Danish Ballhead and the leaves have slender 
midrib. The stem is short, the head large, firm, and heavy, 
and in shape more broad than high. Its keeping qualities 
are unequalled. Pkt., 10c; 34 oz., 25c; oz., 45c; 34 lb., 
$1.40; lb., $5.00.
