ESTEEMED FRIENDS, OLD AND NEW: 



i O-DAY there exist conditions that should fill the heart of every person with rejoicing. 

 The wonderfully bountiful harvest, so magnificent in its proportions, with which 

 Nature has so generously favored us, and the general bright outlook all over this 

 broad land of ours, gives me unbounded courage and zeal in serving you the present season 

 with stock second to none in the world. 



Shrewd buyers will readily note the advantages that may be gained by placing orders with 

 First hands, where they receive full value. 



Successful Planters have used my improved seed for twenty years. 



I have thousands of vouchers, as well as World's Columbian Medals, all testifying that my 

 seed stock is up to the highest standard of excellence. 



Thanking old customers for their valued orders, also for their inducing so many of their 

 friends to join them in sending me such a liberal share of their patronage, and more than all 

 else, for their unbounded confidence in me, and soliciting a continuance of same, and a trial 

 order from the new friends, who may see my book for perhaps the first time, I remain, 



Yours for Success. _ - 



IMPORTANT! READ CAREFULLY BEFORE ORDERING. 



NOTICE— If yon receive an extra copy of my catalogue, please present it to a friend, or neighbor who is interested, and tell them about, 

 Buckbee's Seeds and Plants. 1 shall doubly appreciate the favor, and will endeavor to repay your kindness in your future orders.

 Flowering Plant Department. 



This department, occupying pages 71 to 80 inclusive, will be found somewhat abridged on account 

 of lack of room. To those who desire, complete list will be mailed FREE upon application. 



ORDERS FOR LESS THAN 50 CENTS FOR PLANTS will under no consideration be filled, unless TEN CENTS ADDITIONAL to the price of 

 the plantsbe sent to pay postage. It is quite as much trouble to handle, and requires nearly as much postage to mail a 50 cent plant order as it 

 does one of two or three dollars' worth of plants. 



PLANTS BY EXPRESS at buyer's expense. By special agreement the express companies are making very low rates on plant shipments, 

 which are handled with care and dispatch; we can not impress the fact too vigorously that larger, stronger and better plants are invariably 

 put into orders if sent by express, and in most instances euoughnoveltiesand extra plants will be addedto more than cover shipping charges.
