Three Excellent Sweet Corns for 1902 



Buckbee's First of All 



Earlier than the Cory. Thousands of my customers who planted "First 

 of All" in 1901 speak in the highest praise of this incomparable Sweet 

 Corn. Thousands of comparative tests made by Sweet Corn experts 

 throughout the country as well as at Rock ford Seed Farms have proven it to be from three days to a week 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 Corn in mar- 

 ket, and thereby receive the top-notch prices. The illustration, 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 10 to 12 

 rows, while the Cory generally has only 8 rows. In habit of growth it excels all other early varieties, being stocky and excep- 

 tionally vigorous. The quality is most superior, verv excellent and surpassingly sweet. You cannot help being pleased by planting 

 "Buckbee's First of All." Postpaid, Vi pt. 12c. ; pt. 20c. ; qt. 30c. At Buyer's Expense, % bu. 50c. ; & bu. 80c. ; % bu. $150; bu. $2.50.

 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 abundant and satisfactory yielder; ears of exceptionally good size 

 and of a perfect color, kernels very broad and by far the sweetest, richest, whitest and most tender of any early variety. Not only 

 is it valuable for family 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 highly recommend it for all general purposes. " I have placed the price of this desirable variety of Sweet Corn

 is the best for main crop. The illus- 

 tration distinctly shows the forma- 

 tion 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 Corn the most preferable variety ever offered for main crop. For table use the quality of Buck- 

 bee s Private Stock Evergreen Sweet Corn cannot be excelled, it is very tender, sugary, and remains 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

 hiost saleable canned corn. and it out-yields all other varieties. Many of my customers who made trials of this splendid Sweet Corn
