There is money in raising Corn if you plant the right sort of 

 seed. The numerous varieties of Corn which Buckbee grows and 

 offers are used and endorsed by the best authorities on Corn in the country. 

 When this seed ia properly handled and planted, it will produce results which eclipse any other known 

 varieties. This statement is made and substantiated by the most popular Corn authorities. 



BUCKBEE'S EARLY GOLD MINE 



f.^-ntw Is a magnificent variety of field Coi u, and the result of careful investigation and experimentation 

 imlliW on my part. It is immensely better than my former celebrated "Pride of the North." It has been grown and selected with ' 

 great care and stands to-day without an equal anywhere. 



I have given my stock the most careful attention this year, and 1 know it to be better than anything I have ever before been ' 

 able to offer corn growers. 



This great variety will usually produce a crop in 90 days or less. It can be safely planted up to the middle of June and 

 still be depended upon to ripen by the middle of September. It produces a magnificent yield, there generally being two good.sized 

 ears to the stalk, with immense long, oily kernels closely set, the cob well filled to the end. 

 The Corn is of a rich golden color. Buckbee's Early Gold Mine is a gold producer.

THE GREAT IOWA SILVER MINE 



produces stalks which grow to a height of 8 and 10 feet, which sets the ears about SH to 4 feet from the ground; the best height for easy picking. The 

 ears measure from 10 to 12 inches in length, and weigh anywhere from 1 to ltf pounds. It is not uncommon for 47 ears of this variety to make one bushel. 

 It is extremely hardy and practically unaffected by drought. It is a great Corn, and as near perfect as I believe it possible to secure. It matures 

 in about 100 days, and in 1896 broke the world's record by producing 215 bushels to the acre; in '97 in Illinois it produced 1C3 

 bushels to the acre. It was awarded first prize for yield per acre at the Illinois State Fair. It was awarded first prize for "best bushel," any color, and 

 carried away the grand sweepstakes for the best Corn in the show, easily winning in the face of strong competition. 

 It stands to-day the best 100-day White Corn in the market.

BUCKBEE'S NEW EARLY KLONDIKE 



Is another magnificent variety of 90-day Corn. If yon want a Corn that matures quickly, this is the Corn to buy. It ii good to harvest early in 

 the fall, to enable you to seed ground with other grain. 



You can earn your money quickly by planting this great variety, and you may depend upon it, to grow more bushels on poor land than any other early 

 variety known. 



On ordinarily fair ground, it will yield from 100 to 200 bushels per acre. It produces a small cob which dries quickly and leaves the corn sound and 

 sweet. The ears are of excellent size, and an abundance of fine quality fodder assured. It 6tands drought better than any other variety; husks and 

 shells easily; it is the earliest Corn to market and will prove a veritable money producer. 



Postpaid, 1-8 lb. 15c; lb. 25c. By freight or express at buyer's expense, 1-8 bu. 30c; 1-4 bu. 50c; 1-8 bu. 80c;
