ENORMOUS YIELDING PRIZE WINNERS. 



PJ *J7J A QTP "RT^i AT?, TTtf TVTT^IT") That al * experimental investigations and other tests have placed Carrots among the leaders as a desirable 

 x J - JJ — i**M*J J-»J— lu-lli J.J.1 iuin food for stock. Dairymen prize them very highly for their great fattening qualities and increasing the 

 supply of milk to a wonderful degree. There is no better food in winter for horses and other stock than Carrots cut small, then sprinkled with salt and 

 fed with meal. Do not fail to take advantage of the exceedingly low prices which I haveplaced on this seed, for it will pay you a hundred fold for time 

 spent in caring forsame. You cannot fail to have a good crop by planting my Superior Western Grown Carrot Seed. I would particularly recom- 

 mend that those interested in growing roots for 6tock feeding send to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C, for a free copy of 

 Bulletin No. 11, giving an analysis of American Food Stuffs. If you wish to grow Carrots for stock you will make a serious mistake if you grow any other 

 than these two kinds. It seems no exaggeration to say that we could fill a book as large as this catalogue with the written and spoken praises that our 

 customers have lavished upon these Carrots. We have yetto learn of a single instance in which they have failed to give the fullest satisfaction. Wherever 

 they are shown at fairs, exhibitions, etc., they invariably capture the prize. 



BUCKBEE' S MAJESTIC. 



This is the largest and unquestionably the heaviest cropping and most 

 nutritious yellow variety in cultivation. It is the largest and best form of 

 orange or yellow Carrot known. The roots are remarkably fine, very sym- 

 metrical and of excellentquality, possessing high feeding properties. Itisa 

 heavy cropper on all soils, but especially adapted to strong or rich land. 

 It grows fully half as much weight again per acre as the ordinary vari- 

 eties, and as the roots grow more above the ground, it is much easier to 

 gather the crop. This grand variety is sure to suit evervone who grows it. 

 Pkt. 5c.;oz. 10c; 2 oz. 16c; % lb. 25c; % lb. 40c; lb. 75c; 5 

 lbs. S3. 50 postpaid. 



BUCKBEE'S VICTORIA. 



Thieis the heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more tons to the 

 acre than any other sort. The flesh is white, crisp, solid and very sweet in 

 flavor. It is a vast improvement on the while and green Belgian sorts, as 

 it is not only much more productive, but vastly easier to handle. The 

 roots nre short and very heavy at the shoulder, rendering them easily har- 

 vested. Too much can scarcely be 6aid of their size and great productive- 

 ness. The roots frequently measure from 15 to 20 inches in circumference, 

 and 18 to 25 tons to the acre is not an extravagant statement as to the 

 yield. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; 2 oz. 16c; % lb. 85c; H lb. 40c; 

 lb. 75c; 5 lbs. ®3.50 postpaid. 



' u jj ii li till We are frequently asked: "Which is the better of these two Carrots?" While there are many who prefer the Majestic, I am 

 'il free to say that Victoria is equally as much in favor. It is true that yellow Carrots are somewhat more in favor than the 

 white, but there is no other whitestock Carrot that can compare with Backbee's Victoria for all-around good qualities. 

 imm In order, however, that our customers may test the comparative merits of these two great Carrots, we will send to any address 

 i u ii ii mi to any part of the United States, postpaid, One Pound Each, of Buckbee's Majestic and Victoria Carrots for 

 only SI. 40 My five pound price, viz: 70c. (postpaid) per pound is absolutely the lowest price at which it will be possible for me to sell these two 

 greatest of all Carrots in quantity. 



Mammoth "White Belgian— A splendid variety for fattening stock. 

 The roots are surprisingly mammoth in size, and its productiveness is 

 amazingly enormous, often yielding 10 tons and over of roots per acre. It 

 is highly recommended by experimental stations and agricultural colleges 

 for fattening all kinds of stock, and exceptionally desirable for its great 

 milk producing qualities. The lower part of the root is white, that growing 

 above ground and exposed to the air being green. You will bo pleased with 



Buckbee's Improved Short White. 



Wonderfully Fine Stook Carrot. 



This distinct variety is, we think, destined to take first rank as a 

 field Carrot, owing to its enormous productiveness and its growing well out 

 of the ground, making it comparatively easy to harvest. Roots one-half 

 long, smooth, very heavy at the shoulder, but taper regularly to the point; 

 color light green above ground, white below; flesh rich, white, solid and 

 crisp, and of excellent flavor. This variety is a heavy yielder, easily har- 

 vested and the best of its class. Pkt. 3c; oz. 5c; 2 oz. 8c; 1-4 lb. 

 13c; 1-2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.60. 



Large White Vosges— This is a field Carrot and especially suitable 

 for soils that are not very deep; it is very productive, keeps well and is 

 easily pulled. Very broad at the neck, narrowed abruptly at the point. 

 One of the very best for cattle feeding, Pkt. 2c; oz. 5c; 2 oz. 8c:
