Choice Seed of tiie 



Japanese i> Buckwheat. 



It does not pay to devote valuable land to the 

 production of any plant sim|)ly for the honey it 

 may produce. In providing- foragre for the bees, 

 •other than what they naturally find, choice should 

 be made of those plants that ])roduce honey and yet 

 are a paying crop aside from the lioney." One of 

 ihese plants which generally produces honey, and 

 at a time when other bee-pa slur.ige is usually scarce, 

 is buckwheat. The best variet j' of this that we are 

 acquainted witli is the Japanese, which lias been 

 before the public for five or six years. With favor- 

 able conditions and good soil this will easily pro- 

 duce .50 bushels per acre, and it matures within a 

 few weeks from the time it is sown. It rarely 

 brings less than .50c a bushel for flouring, and often 

 a much higher pi'ice. The price the past year has 

 ranged much higher than usual, being from 70c to 

 $1.01) a bushel. 



The time for seeding is at hand, and we are pro- 

 vided with a good stock of chi)ice seed which we 

 offer, wliile it lasts, at the following prices: 1-lb. 5c; 

 1 peck, 40c; H bush., 70c; 1 bush , $1.20; 3 bush., 

 .83.20; 10 bush., $10.00; bags included. By mail, 8c 

 per pound extra for postage.
