Bl/CKBEE'S BEST" ALL 5VfEET CORN. 



BUCKBEE'S PRIVATE STOCK EVERGREEN —This Sweet Corn 

 aj 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 tlie ears, making this strain of Stowell's Evergreen 

 Sweet Corn the prefei-able variety ever offered for main crop. 

 For table use the quality of Buckbee's Private Stock Evergi-een 

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

 remains a long time in condition suitable for cooking: coming 

 into mai'ket 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 large ears, with long, slender grains, make by far the 

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



Many of my customers who roade trials of this splendid Sweet 

 Corn the past year report yields of over 200 bushels of ears per 

 acre. You cannot possibly be disappointed by planting Buck- 

 bee's Private Stock Eversreen. My price to one and all as long
