BUCKBEE'S GREAT BONANZA ARTICHOKES— The greatest hog aud stock feed known. Is without question the greatest root hog fat- 

 tener in the world, attracting wide spread attention not only on account of its g reat fattening properties, but its enormous produc- 

 tiveness, and the ease with which they can be grown. Thousands of my customers who have given Buckbee's Bonanza Artichokes 

 a thorough trial the past season report yields of from 600 to 1,800 bushels per acre. I cannot urge too strongly every farmer and 

 planter to grow an acre or more this year, because I know it will be to their advantage. They are an acknowledged preventative of 



cholera and other hog diseases; also . an excellent food for cattle, sheep 



and horses. Well adapted to any j p riSSERING, the noted hog specialist, of AUon, 111., soil where corn and potatoes can be 

 grown. Three bushels will seed an ^. ^ ..^ ^ / j „ ^ ,^ acre. In planting cut the same as 



potatoes, one eye to a cut being " I comider Artichokes the best of all food fur sufficient. Rows three feet apart 



and the seed one to two feet apart in hogs." rows. Cover two inches deep. When 



crop is ripened you can dig and store 1—^— — — I same as potatpes, but as they are 

 not injured by freezing the better way is to plant them where j'ou can allow them to remain and turn the hogs in on them, and they 

 will help themselves by rooting. Not only will they grow fat, but they will build up large healthy frames, with plenty of bone and 

 muscle, only requiring corn for a short time in the finishing process. One acre will keep from twenty to thirty head in fine condi- 

 tion from October until April, except when the ground is frozen too hard for them to root. This grand new variety is of my own in- 

 troduction. Don't be misled. I control the entire stock of Buckbee's Greg,t Bonanza Artichokes. Notwithstanding the scarcity of 

 stock, I am more determined than ever to place the price within reach of all. I would advise you to order at once and have your or-
