ENORMOUS YIELDING PRIZE WINNERS. 



PLE A SE BFi A TL IN MINT} Tnat °H experimental investigations and other tests have placed Carrots among the leaders as a desirable 

 j. ..... . xv U ** 1,A ' 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 suit and 

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

 spent in caring forsame. Toa 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 stock feeding 3end 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 wi6h to grow Oarrots 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 yet to 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 7ariety in cultivation. It is the largest and best form of 

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

 metrical and of excellent quality, poseeesinghig h feeding properties. It is a 

 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 



father the crop. This grand variety is sure to suit everyone who grows it.

 lbs. $3.50 postpaid. 



BUOKBEE'S VICTORIA. 



This is the heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more tons to the 

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

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

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

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

 vested. Too much can scarcely bo said of their size and great productive- 

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

 and 28 to 25 tons to the acre is not an extravagant statement as to the 

 yield. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c; % oz. 16c; % lb. 35c; \i lb. 40c;

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

 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 thereis no other whitestock Carrot that can compare with Backbee's Victoria for all-around good qualities. 

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

 to any part of the United States, postpaid, One Pound Each of Bockbee's Majestic and Victoria Carrots for 

 only ST .40 My five pound price, viz: 70c (postpaid) per pound ia 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 qualifies. The lower part of the root is white, that growing 

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

 it. Pkt. 2c: oz. 5c; 3 oz. 8c; 1-4 lb. IJSc.i 1-3 lb. 20c; lb. 

 35c; 5 lbs. $1.60. 



Buckbee's Improved Short White. 



Wonderfully Fine Stook Carrot. 



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

 field Oarrot, owingto its enormous prodnctiveness and its growingwell ont 

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

 long, smooth, very heavy at tho 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 tho best of its class, Pkt. 3c; oz. Sc.; 3 oz. 8c; 1-1 lb. 

 12c; 1-2 lb. 20c; lb. 35c; 5 lbs. $1.60. 



Large Whit© Vosges— This is a field Carrot and especially suitable 

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

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

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

 1-4 lb. 12c; 1-2 lb. 20c; lb. 30c. ; 5 lba. $1.60. 



Mammoth Yellow Belgian— Identical to the above except in 

 color. Pkt. 2c; oz. 5c; 2 OZ. 8c; 1-4 lb. 12c. , 1-2 lb. 20c; lb. 

 35c; 5 lbs. $1.60.
