 6, I'lOO, at 10 o'clock a.m. A full program in the 

 interest of the industry will be presented, and 

 all our bee-keepers can help themselves by aid-

 closer bond of union among our bee-keepers. As 

 a further incentive to the success of the bee-in-

 bee-keeper bring some hive, tool or e.xperience

TIte Great " Liberty " Hield Corn. For 1900 

 H. W. Buckbee, Rock ford Seed Farms, Rock- 

 ford, 111., is offering his customers a new vari- 

 ety- of seed-corn, which has already' excited 

 wide attention from corn-growers. It is Buck- 

 bee's Liberty Field Corn,which Mr. S. C. Clark, 

 of Ohio, the'largest grower of seed-corn in the 

 world, has pronounced " the best corn of the 

 century." The " Liberty "' is the result of long 

 years of selection, and Mr. Buckbee is proud of 

 having produced a field-corn which combines 

 more good points than are found in any other 

 in cultivation. The test fields last year with 

 only average cultivation, yielded upwards of 

 100 bushels per acre, with ears ranging from 8 

 to 12 inches, the cobs small and well tilled with 

 from 10 to 20 rows. The fodder stands 7 to 12 

 feet high and withstands storms perfectly. It 

 matures in 90 days. While the corn is very pure 

 in growth and habit, it is of a remarkable type 

 and color, the grain being variegated, red, am- 

 ber, golden-yellow, all on one cob. Every one 

 who has seen this corn in the field is enthusias- 

 tic in praise of its abundant yield and its early 

 maturity. A sample of this Great Liberty Corn 

 will be" sent free when requested, in combina- 

 tion with his 1900 seed catalog to any reader of 

 the American Bee Journal. The catalog has 

 on its cover a reproduction in natural colors of 

 this remarkable variety of field-corn. Don't 

 fail to see it. Address H. W. Buckbee, Rock- 

 ford, 111., and please mention the American Bee 

 Journal when writing him.
