After years of careful selection, I am able to offer you the best early Sweet Corn on the market. The demand for this certainly "Best 

 of All" varieties exhausted my stock early in the season again last vear. Owing to the very favorable growing season the past year. I 

 am in hopes to have enough to go all aronnd this year. Yet from the" heavy advance orders that we have had on this variety, I cannot 

 too strongly urge you to order early and make sure of your supply. Buckbee's "Best of All" is of exceptionally stocky growth, and an 

 abundant and satisfactory yielder; ears of exceptionally good size, and of a perfect >:olor, kernels very broad and by far the sweetest, 

 richest, whitest and most tender of any early variety. Not only is it valuable for familr uses, but for early market and shipping purposes 

 it is also in the lead. Mr. Crane, one of the most prominent Sweet Corn specialists, writes: "Gave Buckbee's 'Best of AH' a fair trial, and 

 will say that it surpasses every claim you make for it, and more, too. I can highlv recommend it for ail general purposes." I have placed 

 the price of this desirable variety of Sweet Corn within the reach of all. Postpaid, Pkt. 8c; V4 P*. 12c.; pt. 20c; qt. 30c.

 manner in which they are set on the cob. which is small in comparison to the size of the ears, making this strain of Stowell's Evergreen 

 Sweet Con the most preferable variety ever offered for main crop. For table use the quality of Buckbee's Private Stock Evergreen Sweet
