Holmes' Northern Grown 
Seed Corn 
The progressive farmer is fully aware that it pays in dollars and cents 
to plant seed of known origin only. He knows that good Seed Corn 
is the prime requirement of a good crop. With poor, cheap seed, time, 
labor and fertilizer are wasted and no extra cultivation can make up 
the lack. Our Corns have all been grown especially for seed. Tney 
have been well cured and are true to name and type. It costs no more 
in labor, time and fertilizer to grow a bumper crop than it does to 
produce a poor one. The difference in price between good and poor seed 
is made up many times over in the increase in the crop harvested. 
HOLMES’ EARLY 90-DAY. Has broad, deep grains of a beautiful 
golden yellow color. It produces a crop of the most perfectly uniform 
ears and has averaged 70 bushels of shelled corn per acre. Holmes’ 
Early matures in 90 to 100 days. The ears are 10 inches long with 
14 rows of long, broad grains. The stalks grow from 8 to 10 feet high, 
giving an immense quantity of fodder. Farmers who planted Holmes’ 
Early 90-Day for their main crop last year told us they grew one of 
the finest crops and best quality Corn they ever grew. Remember, our 
Seed Corn is grown from the most carefully selected seed stock, of 
strong, vigorous germination. You will not regret it if you plant 
Holmes’ Early 90-Day which is grown on our own farm. Write for 
Seed Corn Price List. 
MEDINA PRIDE. An extra-early maturing variety of Yellow Dent 
Corn, smoothly indented, broad-kernelled, adapted to Northeastern 
Ohio. It has a slender, slightly tapering, fairly long ear. Medina Pride 
has been consistently high in yield tests conducted at the Ohio Ex¬ 
periment Farm, Wooster, Ohio. You cannot make a mistake by plant¬ 
ing Medina Pride. Write for prices. 
WOODBUSN’S YELLOW DENT. It is a medium early maturing Corn, 
having a fair-sized ear with 14 to 18 rows. The stalk is rather small. 
The grains are somewhat wide and have a very beautiful deep orange 
color. Woodburn has a good record in yield tests, as it has frequently 
been the high-yielding variety in the ten-acre corn contest in this 
state. One of the features of this sort is its fine shelling percentage, 
resulting in a large yield of shelled corn to the acre. Our Corn is the 
development of the early strain, grown in northern Ohio. Write for 
price list. 
OHIO EARLY CLARAGE. Suits our farmers and is now one of the 
most popular early varieties in Ohio. The stalk is medium in size and 
remarkably resistant to disease. The ears are of medium size with 
deep yellow wide kernels, averaging 16 rows. This variety is recom¬ 
mended by the Farm Crop Department of the Ohio State University 
as being one of the varieties best adapted to all of the soils of the 
.state. The cob is small, producing an immense amount of shelled corn 
to the acre on account of its unusually deep kernels. Our seed is 
grown exclusively in northern Ohio. Write for Seed Corn Price List. 
LONGFELLOW FLINT. A large, eight-rowed yellow Flint sort. Adapted 
for the Northern states. Write for prices. 
We can furnish State Certified Seed. Write for Price List. 
Hybrid Corn 
A corn Hybrid is the first generation of a cross involving one or more 
inbred lines of corns. 5 to 10 years of inbreeding, selection, and testing 
are required to locate desirable inbred lines. Inbred lines are then 
combined into “single” and “double” and “three-way” cross Hybrids. 
First generation must be obtained. This is because seed saved from 
a field planted with a corn Hybrid will have 10 to 25 per cent lower 
yielding ability than first generation seed. Buy only Hybrids tested 
and recommended by your Experiment Station. Write for prices. 
Dwarf Essex Rape 
Furnishes pasture of high carrying capacity for hogs and sheep. It can 
be seeded from early April to the last of July and produces pasture 
in 7 to 10 weeks from seeding date. Rape is ready to pasture when 8 
to 12 inches high. Rape may be sown broadcast 7 lbs. per acre, or in 
rows 5 lbs. per acre. A light harrowing to cover the seed should fol¬ 
low broadcasting. Frequently sown in mixture of Canadian Peas and 
Oats, also in the corn field at the last working (5 lbs. seed). It responds 
well to applications of lime and fertilizer, 4 to 5 lbs. of sweet clover 
seed may be mixed with the rape with good results. The fields sown 
to Rape should be divided into fractional parts by temporary fences 
so as to alternate the animals. One division may be recovering while 
the other is being pastured. 50 lbs. per bu. Lb., 20c; 5 lbs., 60c; 10 lbs., 
$1.10, postpaid. Write for price list on larger quantities.

Protect 
Your 
Seed Corn 
During the period when it is most 
easily damaged, by ridding your crop 
of crows and other corn-pulling birds 
and animals. It saves loss of seed 
and labor of replanting. It positively 
will not clog any planter. It is 
non-poisonous and will not in¬ 
jure the seed or any kind of 
corn. It is more effective, 
more convenient to use, and 
more economical than any 
other material.
