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 espe- 
cially 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 Ibs. per bushel.

Holmes’ Silage Corn 
Holmes’ Big Golden Ensilage Write for prices 
Was first introduced to Ohio farmers by our Mr. Harry Holmes, 28 
years ago. “A Wonderful Silo Filler.” One of the largest and best 
yellow Corn to grow for leaves and ears. Pennsylvania grown. The 
stalks attain a height of from 12 to 14 feet, with thick, strong foliage. 
The ears are 10 to 12 inches in length, the majority of them having 18 
rows of deep, broad grains of a rich golden yellow color. It is an ex- 
tremely heavy cropper, ranking with any of the southern grown ensilages. 
Holmes Golden will give a excellent crop on poor or light soil. The 
Master Farmers, who are growing Holmes’ Golden, praise it. Fill your 
silo with ensilage that is worth while. 
Blue Ridge Ensilage Write for prices 
Early, grows tall, leafy, full-eared. This is an improved strain, originated 
in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, and will outyield all other 
southern Ensilages from a standpoint of tonnage, height and quality of 
fodder. Ranges from 14 to 16 feet in height. On account of its being 
grown at a high altitude, it is earlier than other southern grown ensilage.

Hairy Vetch 
15 to 30 lbs. per acre. 
Hairy Vetch is a winter annual, leguminous vine which grows 5 to 6 
feet tall but with stems too weak to support itself. Sown any time after 
the first of July it makes more or less growth before frost, lives through 
the winter, makes a vigorous growth the following spring, forms seed and 
dies by the first of July. When cultivated in, it is a successful green manure 
crop to sow in Corn. It adds a worth-while amount of nitrogen to the soil 
if it can be left until May 10th to 15th of the following year. It is valu- 
able for hay but the hay is difficult to cut and cure because of the vining 
habit of the plant. Hairy Vetch is particularly adapted to sandy soil and 
low lime soil in general, but does not go through the winter well on wet 
soils. Write for Field Seed Price List
