Here are some of the advantages of Holmes’ 
Hybrids compared with open pollinated varieties: 
1. The great vigor, hastening come-up—this improving the 
stand and avoiding seedling diseases. 
wr 
Uniformity of growth and maturity which is an aid to 
early cultivation and efficient harvest. 
Resistance to certain diseases—such as bacterial wilt. 
Less lodging due to extra strength of root and stalk. 
Resistance to drought by virtue of a deep root system. 
nr BR W 
Increased total yield containing a greater percentage: of 
dry matter. 
Co-operative Yield Tests 
In carefully conducted field tests adapted to Corn, hybrids 
nearly always are more productive than the best competing 
open pollinated strains. The Ohio Co-operative Corn Per- 
formance Tests conducted by Ohio Agricultural Experiment 
Station and U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry, together with 
farmers in every part of Ohio, show which hybrids are adapted 
to your farm. Only those proved best for yield, standing 
ability and maturity are certified. Don’t take a chance on 
your Corn crop! Get the most Corn by using HOLMES’ 
OHIO CERTIFIED HYBRIDS! 
Your Seed Improvement Association has double checked 
the production methods. More than half of the Corn planted 
by Ohio farmers was hybrid. You can be sure if you get seed 
of HOLMES’ CERTIFIED CORN HYBRIDS.
