Bucktee's Celebrated Corn. 



BUCKBEE'S COLOSSAL. 



I have made a specialty for years of raising, carefully harvest 

 ing, hand sorting, fire drj'ing" curing and preparing for planting 

 purposes Buckbee's Pedigree Seed Com. I wish to particularly 

 emphasize the fac t that my corn is grown as far north as practtuj 

 in attaialag the highest degree of perfection. Do not be misled by buying cheap, inferior stock, but send direct to the grower, thereby makinf 

 sure of your crop. I cannot urge you too strongly to order at once, and have your order shipped either bj^ freight or express, thereby 

 saving excessive charges. Remember that I prepay charges on quarts. Quantities of )i bu. or more, will be shipped by freight 



at buyer's expense. Prices include bags for shipping. I hold that my seed vrill grow with more vigor, be earlier, return larger crops, 

 and in each and every particular be superior to seed produced 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. 



It is the largest grained com known. Grains average over half an inch in width. Very prolific, 

 stalk bears from one to three ears with positively no barren stocks. Ears are larger than the 

 average, with rows of yellow grain perfectly regular and straight, well filled out at both ends. Cob small, when compared with size 

 of ear, and red. The remarkable feature of the cob is its hardy or woody nature. A load of these cobs used as fuel will burn as long 

 as two from common varieties. The grain is the best for fattening purposes, being very soft and easily masticated by stock, hence & 

 much larger per cent, is readily assimilated than of other varieties. The intermodes or joints of the plant are very sbort. Leaves or 



blades are very wide, specimens having measured eight inches in width, Plant does not 

 grow very tall, about nine feet, but is very luxuriant, in fact we are of the opinion that it 

 will out yield in point of fodder all the well-known ensilage sorts. So far we find it out- 

 yields all other sorts in point of grain and at the same time produces more fodder than 

 other varieties. T).is corn was produced by hybridizing a very large type of yellow Dent 

 and the largest obtainable type of Flint, and by careful selection and breeding the flic^ 

 nature was discarded and a type fixed. This has taken many years of persistent effort 

 and has resulted in a corn with the largest grain, the largest ear, the hardest cob and the 

 most luxuriant fodder plant existing. Being a luxuriant rapid growerit shades tbeground 

 early in the season, thus conserving the moisture, enabling it to withstand drought bettCT 

 than any other. In season of maturity it is about the same as the " Learning," and may 

 be termed a 110 day variety. A peculiar feature of this com is that the grain is ripe 

 enough to crib while the knob and fodder are yet green. Those who feed the com plant 

 entire, or use it as silage will appreciate this merit. Have you decided to change that old 

 worn out stock you have been planting for vears. and plant the best new corn in existence
