BUCKBEE'S CELEBRATED CORN 



I 



PLEASE REMEMBER 



that if any of the varieties 

 of Seed Corn that we make a 

 specialty of growing and 

 offering are not entirely sat- 

 isfactory upon arrival, you 

 are at liberty to return the 

 goods and we will return 

 your money promptly. 



I have made a specialty for years of raising, carefully harvesting, hand sorting, 

 fire drying, curing and preparing for [da 11 ling purposes BUCKBEE'S PEDIGREE SEED CORN. 

 I wi«h to partic ularly emphasize the fact that my corn Is grown as far north as practical Id 

 attaining the highest degree of perfection. Do not be misled by buying cheap, interior stork, 

 but send direct to the grower, thereby making sure of your crop. I cannot urge you too 

 strongly to order at once and have your order shipped by freight, thereby saving ex- 

 cessive'cliarges. Remember that I prepay charges on quarts, half pounds and pounds. 

 Quantities of one-eighth, one-fourth and one-half bushels or more, will be shipped at 

 buyer's exrense. Prices include bags for shipping. My seed will grow with more 

 vigor, be earlier, return larger crops, and in every particular be superior to seed pro- 

 duced elsewhere. These points alone make my seed cheap at double the price asked. 

 Even so, is it not better to pay a fair figure and know you are right, than take chances 

 on southern and eastern seed as a gift? 



As long as my stock seed lasts, I am pleased to offer the two varieties of GREAT 

 WESTERN DENT CORN listed below at the following low prices: (SHELLED) Post- 

 paid, M, lb. 15c; lb. 25c. By Express or Freight at buyer's expense, % bu. 30c; % bu. 50c; H bu. 

 80c; bu $1.50; 2 bu. $2.90. 10 bu. lots or more at $1.40 per bushel.

 buyer's expense; 1 bu. $2.50; 2 bu. $4.75; 5 to 10 bu. lots or more at $2.25 per bu. 



TWO 'BIG MO tfEy-MAK.B'RS 

 BUCKBEE'S GREAT WESTERN YELLOW DENT. 



By all odds the earliest and largest 100-day Yellow Dent Corn in Existence, Stalks grow to a 

 height of 7 or 8 feet, and set the ears about 3V4 to 4 feet from the ground — just the right 

 height for easy picking. A wonderful peculiarity of this corn is that it never produces 

 a barren stalk, every one has an ear and 

 generally two, some times three. The 

 type is very even, ears measuring 10 to 

 12 inches in length, often weighing 154 

 pounds or more. Very uniform in size ' 

 and shape, w ith 16 to 18 rows of deep, » 

 pure golden yellow kernels set on small J 

 sized cob, which is well filled out over! 

 the tip and butt. The grains are of good! 

 size, long, flat and closely set together,) 

 deeply dented, and solidly fill the entire j 

 surface of the ear. We call this a 100- 

 day corn, but it often ripens in 95 days 

 of average com weather. In its yield it ' 

 will surpass all other yellow varieties; 

 70 pounds in the ear will make more 

 than 60 pounds of shelled corn. Buck- 

 bee's Great Western Yellow Dent is the hard- 

 iest and the greatest drought resister. Tt is 

 adapted to a widerrangeof sot land var- 

 iety of climate than any yellow corn ever 

 offered. It outshells and outyields all other 

 yellow corn. After the corn is husked the 

 stalks generally remain in fine growing 

 condition and will make an exceptionally 

 valuable forage crop. 



COHJV 



IS KING! 



I want to urge every farmer or 

 planter who intends to plant 

 corn the coming year to be 

 sure to include at least a 

 sample bushel of Buckbee's 

 Famous Prosperity Corn 

 in his order. (See inside 

 front cover page of this 

 Catalogue.) : : : 



BUCKBEE'S GREAT 

 WESTERN WHITE DENT. 



The mosl marvelous variety of White Corn ever offered, and which will sur- 

 priseeveryone who plants it. Thousands of ourcustom- 

 ers from every part of the country are more than pleased 

 with the wonderful results obtained by planting this 

 grand, good, best of all White Dent Corn. It is, in- 

 deed a fitting companion to Buckbee's Great Yellow 

 Dent- the one being the best White Denton record, 

 s-i and the other the best Yellow Dent in existence. 

 The stalks generally bear two good ears each and 

 frequently three are found. It yields 

 splendid crops even on light soil. All 

 ^jgV- ears are uniform and will filled out, and 

 BSMk. w iU easily make 60 pounds of shelled corn 

 to the bushel. So general has 

 the demand for this great corn 

 become that we have found it 

 impossible to supply all calls 

 for it the past two years. Our 

 crop the past season was very 

 splendid, but while we expect 

 to fill all orders, wecannot too 

 strongly urge you to place your 

 orders ea rly.

 agricultural authorities in the
