HOLMES’ New and Improved Varieties 
Michicjan 
Golden J Celery 
(Yellows-Resistant) 
Michigan Golden Celery 
“Michigan Golden” is a new strain of 
seif-blanching Celery that is highly resist¬ 
ant to Fusarium Yellows, also known as 
root rot and crown rot. It was bred by 
plant pathologists of Michigan State Col¬ 
lege. 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 be¬ 
cause of disease. In tests for three seasons 
Michigan Golden has shown more resistance 
than any other variety of yellow Celery. 
This variety is not recommended as a sub¬ 
stitute 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 pack¬ 
ages. 
Holmes Seed Co. has been appointed 
a distributor for Michigan Golden.

Penn State Ballhead 
Cabbage 
Judy’s Pink 
Tomato 
Heavy Yielder—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 uni¬ 
versally given satisfactory results and like all pink varie¬ 
ties 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 seed 
grown on the Judy farm by the originators and offers their 
latest selection. Pkt., 10c; y 4 oz., 35c; y 2 oz., 60c; oz., 
$1.00; y 4 lb., $3.00, postpaid. 
True Originator’s Strain. 
This strain, developed by our good 
friend. Dr. C. E. Myers of the Pennsyl¬ 
vania State College, possesses distinct 
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 un¬ 
equalled.

Gill’s Earlu Market 
Sweet I Corn 
Delicious Muskmelon—Early, Large, Sweet 
Those who want good sweet white-grained Corn at 
the earliest possible date should plant Gill’s Early 
Market. Many ears measure 7 to 8 inches long and 
have 12 to 14 rows of pure white kernels. The quality 
of this Corn is excellent for so early a variety. We are 
certain market growers will find this a very profitable 
Corn, as it can be put on the market before any other 
variety, considering size. Pkt., 10c; % lb., 20c; lb., 
35c; 2 lbs., 60c; 5 lbs., $1.05; 10 lbs., $1.80.

squash. Grows anywhere. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 20c; oz., 
35c. 
Delicious Muskmelon 
Large—Sweet Early Muskmelon. 
This wonderful Muskmelon combines earliness, large 
size and delicious sweetness, making it superior to any 
other early Melon. Fruits average 5 pounds or more, 
are of oval shape, light green, covered with fine net¬ 
ting. Flesh is deep orange color, very sweet and of 
most delicious flavor. The flesh is not as firm as Ben¬ 
der’s Surprise and Melons therefore do not keep as 
long after picking. For the home garden and nearby 
market this sort is unsurpassed. Pkt., 10c; % oz., 15c; 
oz., 25c; y 4 lb., 70c; lb., $2.00.
