 and sold same in Vie marhU June 30. 

 teas the fimt in market and my Com 

 sold for a high prite. 



lUCKBEE'S FIRST OF ALL— Earlier than the Cory. Thousands of 

 my customers who planted "First of -All" in 1897 speak in the 

 highest praise of this incomparable S'sveet Corn. Thousands of 

 comparative tests made by Sweet Com experts throughout the 

 country as well as at Rockford Seed Farms have proven it to be 

 from three days to a vreek earlier than Cory, making- it very 

 desirable, not only for family gardens, but an especial boon to 

 market gardeners who desire to have the first Sweet Com in 

 loarket, and thereby receive the top notch prices. The illustra- 

 tion, engraved from a photograph of an average ear, reduced in 

 size, shows the form of the ears, which are of good size, well 

 filled with large grains to the very tip. 



Many of the ears contain from ten to twelve rows, while the 

 Cory generally has only eight rows. In habit of growth it ex- 

 cels'all other early varieties, being stocky and exceptionally vig- 

 orous. The quality is most superior, very excellent and tmsur- 

 IMissingly sweet.

 All." H pt. 12c, pt, 20c, qt. 30c, 3^ bu. 50c, bu. SOc, M bu.

BUCKBEE'S BEST OF ALL— 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 AU" varieties exhausted my 

 stock early in the season again — last year. Owing to the very 

 favorable growing season the past year, I am in hopes to have 

 enough to go all around 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 abund- 

 ant and satisfactory yielder. Ears of exceptionally good size 

 and of a perfect color, kemels very broad and by far the sweet- 

 est, richest, whitest and most tender of any other early variety. 

 Kot only is it valuable for family uses, but for early market and 

 shipping purposes it also is in the lead. Mr. Crane, one of the 

 most prominent Sweet Com specialists, writes : "Gare Buekbee't 

 ^ Best of AW a fair trial, and wiU say that it surpasses every daim 

 ynu make for it and more too. I can highly recommend it for all gen- 

 eral purpose*." I have placed the price of this desirable variety 

 of Sweet Cora within the reach of all. K pt. 12c. pt. 20c, qt. SOc,

BUCKBEE'S BEST" ALL 6WEET CORN. 



BUCKBEE'S PRIVATE STOCK EVERGREEN— This Sweet Corn as 

 now improved is the best for main crop. The illustration dis- 

 tinctly shows the formation and depth of grains and the 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 Cora the preferable variety ever offered for main crop. 

 For table use the quality of Buckbee's Private Stock Evergreen 

 Sweet Corn cannot be excelled ; it is very tender, sugary, and re- 

 mains a long time in condition suitable for cooking; coming into 

 market at a time when the main crops are being sold, these are 

 very important conditions. For canning purposes Buckbee's 

 Private Stock Evergreen Sweet Corn will prove most satisfac- 

 tory; its lar?e ears, "with long, slender grains, make by far the 

 most saleable canned cora, and it out yields all other varieties. 



Many of my customers who made trials of this splendid Sweet 

 Com" the past year renort j ields of over 200 bushels of ears per 

 acre. You cannot possibly be disappointed by planting Buck- 

 bee's Private Stock Everarrf en. Mv price to one and all as long
