A Veritable Gold Mine for Every Farm. 



The Great Liberty Field Corn first appeared in 1900. 

 Had a larger sale than any first-year Novelty Seed Corn— so 

 large, in fact, that our supply of seed was exhausted very 

 early in the season. 



Buckbee's Great Liberty Corn has never been known to 

 fail in making a good crop. It's of a most remarkable type and color, 

 being very pure in growth and habit, yet of many beautiful colors (red, am- 

 ber, golden yellow and yellow ca6t; also dark red, all on one cob) making 

 it the most beautiful Corn in the crib, on ear or in the bag shelled. 



This new Corn combines more solid merit than any Corn in cultivation — 

 more fine and lasting points. Its great merit lies in the fact that it is a 

 natural yielder. Expert Corn growers pronounce it "a Perfect 

 Field Corn as to yield, size of the ears, color, size of cobs, 

 length of grain, size of grain, size of fodder, size of growth of 

 fodder, and the extra fine quality of the fodder."

 planting for years and plant the best new Corn in existence — Liberty — this 

 year? Don't wait. Notwithstanding the scarcity of seed, I have decided to

Great Brazilian Flour Corn. 



One of the Greatest Novelties Ever Introduced. Originated 

 in Brazil, where it constitutes the principal food of the inhabitants. It is 

 truly a marvelous plant. For years our seed was always exhausted before 

 the season ended, so great was the demand. You are sure to like it. It 

 grows 8 feet high, and from one kernel sends enough stools to produce 100 

 ears. Its strong points are: 



1. Twenty-five barrels of flour can be grown from one acre, and this 

 flour is of as fine a grade as is made of wheat, which is five times as much 

 as wheat produces per acre. 



2. The bread and biscuits baked therefrom are fully as palatable as 

 from any flour known. 



8. When boiled in a green state it has no superior among Sweet Oorn, 

 while its yield io thrice that of Sweet Corn. 



4. Matures in all latitudes where Corn ripens. 



6. Cultivate as you would Corn, allowing two kernelsto a hilL

 tle, of the most dolicious, sweet, tender, juicy, nutritious food we have ever 

 seen. Indeed, it seems as though this will soon rank a3 the greatest fodder- 

 producing plantin the world. 



7. This is a wonderful Corn. It makes flour in quality equal to wheat. 

 Of course it is not so white, but oh, what delicious cakes, rolls and biecuitsl

Jerusalem Corn. 



A New Forage Plant of Great Merit— Belongs to the non-saccharine sorghums, and was 



brought a few years since from the arid plains of Pales- 

 tine. It is pronounced the best and surest grain crop for 

 dry countries and seasons; even better than Kaffir Corn or 

 Milo Maize. It grows several smaller heads on side 

 ehootB; often as many as 8 heads on a stalk. Very valu- 

 able for feeding stock and proves a gold mine for chicken 

 feed. Plant 6 to 10 lbB. per acre. Postpaid, H lb. 15c;

Branching' Dhoura Corn. 



Yields from 6 to 16 Stalks from 1 Seed. Being 

 allied to Sugar Cane, cattle, horses and hogs will eat 

 It ravenously. The Rural New Yorker says: "Though, 

 during the severe drought, corn dried up within a few 

 feet of it, the Branching Dhoura suffered but very little, 

 producing from 4 to 12 branches, and grew sturdily from 

 6 to 10 feet high. If cut down it starts again with 

 renewed strength. It yielded at the first cutting at the 

 rate of 68 tons to the acre. Plant 5 lbs. in rows per acre. 

 Postpaid, H lb. 15c; lb. 25c. At buyer's ex- 

 pense, 5 lbs. 40c; IO lbs. 75c.
