Why HOLMES’ /W leded 
Seedi Sufi&UQJi 
Experienced gardeners and commercial growers know 
there is a difference in seeds. Two seeds of the same variety, 
stood side by side, having the same outward appearance 
even under the closest scrutiny, will not necessarily give 
equal satisfaction. Yes, there is more to seeds than that 
which may be observed with the naked eye. Hidden inside 
the seed coat of a seed are the qualities which make the 
difference. High productiveness, resistance to disease, the 
ability to germinate, trueness to type and the many other 
hidden qualities of seeds that are so important to you and 
other gardeners are all determined by the past history of 
the seed you sow. Holmes’ quality seeds are superior be 
cause they are of known ancestry. 
PURE BY TEST 
Still not satisfied, the Holmes Seed Company goes one 
step farther. All Holmes’ seeds are tested by a non-partisan 
organization. Thus you are assured of obtaining seeds of 
known high germination percentage and seedling vigor. 
This is evident soon after sowing but the greatest benefit 
to be gained shows up at harvest time, in your garden— 
then you will fully know the advantages of insisting on the 
best, Holmes’ Pure by Test Seeds.
