Holmes’ Hybrid 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.

HYBRID sistance to diseases and insects. Ear medium sized with 
deep, smooth kernels. It dries out quickly in the fall and husks clean and easily by 
hand or with mechanical pickers. Yield is tops in its season. 
OHIO Mw 20 It is as early as M15, giving high yields of sound 
yellow Corn. Ears are medium short, thick and heavy. 
HYBRID 16 to 18 rows of dented deep grain. Fodder is dark 
green in color. Plants are more resistant to root-lodging and stalk-breaking than those 
of M15. Maturity 95 to 100 days. 
OHIO EARLY—DEEP GRAIN—HEAVY YIELD. This 
HYBRID early maturing hybrid is one of the heaviest yielders of 
its season. The plants are dark green in color and hold 
their greenness well, giving an appearance of lateness even though the ears are well 
matured. The ears are medium sized with very deep kernels. Plants are highly resistant 
to blight. An excellent kind to use for hogging off or for early feed throughout central 
Ohio. Do not overlook this early hybrid as it has proven most valuable the past few 
years to use where you want to pick and sow Wheat at the proper time.

HYBRID ing ability. Broad, dark green leaves, extensive, strong, 
healthy root. Produces more dry matter per acre than 
other varieties of the same maturity season that often appear larger, so is outstanding

tility.

Wonder Hybrid 255. Here is indeed a wonderful Corn. We think 
it is the grandest Hybrid ever produced. Big ears 9 to 12 inches 
long, 18 to 22 rows of deep grain. The foliage is very dark green, 
and retains this color when the ears ripen. As to heat and drought 
resistance, it is not surpassed by any other. It’s borer resistant. Its 
strong stalk and good roots make it stand best of all—no stalks down, 
no ragged leaves, no suckers, no dropped ears, easy to husk, and a 
good picker Corn. It is adapted to a wide range of soils from poor 
to high and for central and north States where yields have been con- 
sistently very high. Matures medium early, 100 days. We highly 
recommend that you grow a crop of this our Wonder Hybrid. Large 
flat kernels. Bu., $11.50; 2 bus., $22.50.
