SELECT LIST OF BEST 

 VARIETIES OF 



BrCKBEE'S SNOW BALL. 



Pop Corn should be in every garden, especially if there are chil- 

 dren to enjoy it during the long- winter evenings, which bring 

 young people together for sociability and amusement. It is a fact 

 not generally known that Pop Corn pops best when more than a 

 year old, and that when well popped it will be twenty times its 

 size ; thus, a quart and a half of shelled pop corn will make nearly 

 a bushel of popped corn. By all means reserve at least a corner 

 in your garden for Pop Corn. It will not only be a source of pleas- 

 ure during the winter months, but always iinds ready market at a 

 good price.

TWO NEW VARIETIES 

 OF SWEET CORN. 



NEW SWEET CORN, 



FIRST OF ALL." 



NEW STRIPED, OK VARIEGATED. 



First of All— (See cut.)- Certainly a valuable acquisition, being 

 earlier than the Cory. For years past it has been my constant 

 aim to produce a variety earlier than the famous Cory corn, and 

 at last it has been accomplished to the great satisfaction of all 

 sweet corn fanciers. It is ready for the table from .3 days to a 

 week earlier th^n the Cory, making it very desirable, not only 

 for family gardens, but extremely valuable'to grow for market, 

 where the earliest corn always brings the highest price. You 

 will notice 

 from the 

 illustration 

 above , be- 

 ing direct 

 from photo- 

 graph, the 

 rel at ive 

 shape of 

 the ears, 

 which are 

 of medium 

 size, and are 

 well filled 

 with large 

 g r a i n s to 

 the very 

 tip. Avery

Buckbee's Best of All— (See cut.)— After years of careful se- 

 lection I am able to offer you the best early Sweet Corn on the 

 market. (The'demand for th.s certainly the " Best of All " va- 

 rieties, exhausted my stock 

 early in the season last year. 

 Owing to thp very favorable 

 growing season the past year, 

 I am in hopes to have enough 

 to go all around this year. I 

 can not too ^trongly urge you 

 to send yonr orders at the 

 earliest possible date. ) This 

 is of exceptionally stocky 

 growth, and is an abundant 

 and satisfactory yielder. Ears 

 of exceptionally cood size of a 

 perfect color, "it is by far the 

 sweetest, richest, whitest, 

 most tender, and earliest va- 

 riety of sweet corn in exist- 

 ance. Not only is it valuable 

 for family uses, but for early 

 market and shipping purposes 

 it takes the lead. 



Mr. Crane, one of the most 

 prominent sweet corn special* 

 ists, writes: 



" Gave Buckbee' s 'Best of 

 Air a fair trial and will say 

 that it surp;>.sscs every claim 

 you make for it and more too. 

 "l can highly recommend it for 

 all general purposes." 



I have placed the price of this desirable variety of sweet com 

 within the reach of all. 1^ pt. 12c, pt. 20c, qt. 30c, H bu. 50c,
