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. Our Corns have all been grown 
especially for seed. They 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. 
Shelled Seed Corn weighs 56 lbs. per bushel. 
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. 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. You will not regret it if you plant Holmes’ Early 90-Day.

per acre. It will provide all the succulence and one-third of the diges- 
tible feed needed for milk production next winter.
