SEED FOR '96. 



Now comes the time all Gardeners are connnencing to plan for next year, and 

 lirst of all comes in their mind— Seed. Is that which you have been planting for 

 years good enough? By all means no. It is absolutely necessary that a change be 

 made occasionally, and then to get the latest improved and very best stock 

 obtainable. 



Buckbee's Seed and Plant (iuide for 1806 (marled to all regular customers 

 lanuary 1st, and is tree to all intending buyers lor the asking), portrays with accu- 

 racy the oroducts of the Rockford Seed Farms Tells all about the great Oat 

 ILLINOIS which produced from 100 to l50 bushels per acre in 1895; the new Corn. 

 Buckbee's Colossal, which gave an average yield of over 100 bushels to the acre in 

 many sections. 



The valuable novelties in the Garden and Flower Seed li e will be attractive to 

 everyone, while the array of Plant novelties will be of much pleasure to all lovers 

 ol the beautiful. 



Now is the time to begin plans for next year— don't put oft' until too late.
