BUCKBEE'S CELEBRATED CORN. 



"v. K 



HIGH GRADE SEED 

 GRAIN. 



It costs more to grow a crop for seed 

 purposes than the ordinary farmer can 

 understand. It requires extra choice 

 stock seed, special preparation of the 

 land, special cultivation, great care in 

 harvesting, drying, cleaning, testing, 

 preparing for shipment, bags, etc., etc., 

 so that we are obliged to ask a slight ad- 

 vance over market prices, but any intel- 

 ligent farmer will agree with us that 

 such pedigreed seed is well wortfc to him 

 the price we ask for it. It pays to 

 sow the best. 



CORN 



IS KING! 



I want to urge every 

 Farmer and Planter who 

 intends to Plant Corn 

 the coming' season to 

 send at once for Free 

 Samples of our 

 MONEY-MAKING 

 CORN. 



I HAVE made a specialty for years of raising, carefully harvesting, hand sorting, fire 

 drying, curing and preparing lor planting purposes, Buckbee's Pedigree Seed 

 Corn* I wish to particularly emphasize the fact that my Corn is grown as far 

 north as practical in attaining: the highest degree of perfection. Do 

 not be misled by buying cheap, inferior stock, but send direct to the grower, 

 thereby making sure of your crop. I cannot urge you too strongly to order at once, and 

 have your order shipped by freight, thereby saving excessive charges. Remember that I 

 prepay chargee.on quarts, half pounds and pounds. Quantities of one-eighth, one-quar- 

 ter, and one-half bushels, or more, will be shipped at buyer's expense. Prices include 

 bags for shipping. I hold that my seed will grow with more vigor, be earlier, return 

 larger crops, and in each and every particular be superior to seed produced elsewhere. 

 Thesepointsalone make my seed cheap at double the price asked. Even so, is it not bet- 

 ter to pay a fair figure and know you are right, than take chances on southern and eastern 

 seed as a gift? 



TWO BIG MONEY-MAKERS. 



BUCKBEE'S GREAT WESTERN YELLOW DENT. 



By all odds the earliest, largest lOO-day Yellow Dent Corn In exist- 

 ence. Stalk prows to a height of 7 or 8 feet, and feets the ears about 3H to 4 feet from the 

 ground; ju6t the right height for easy- 

 picking. A wonderful peculiarity of 

 this Corn is that it never produces a 

 barren 6talk, every one has an ear 

 and generally two, sometimes three. 

 The type is very even. Ears meas- 

 uring 1U to 12 inches in length, and 

 weighing 1>j pounds or more are 

 often found, lhe ears are very uni- 

 form in size and shape, with 16 to lb 



straight towb of deep, pure, golden 



yellow kernels set on small-sized 



cob, which is well filled out over the 



tip and butt. The grains are of 



good size, long, flat and closely set 



together; deeply dented and solidly 



fill the entire surface of the ear. We 



call this a 100-day Corn, but it often 



ripens in 95 days of average corn 



weather. In its yield it will surpass 



all other yellow varieties. Seventy 



pounds in the ear willmake more than 



60 pounds of shelled Corn. l»u<k-
