Buckbee's Champion ^ot 



A VERITABLE THE ENORMOUS YIELD OF 

 CARROT PRODIGY 35 TONS TO THE ACRE 



Buckbee's Champion Stock Carrot is not, properly speaking, a table 

 Carrot, although the flesh is remarkably firm and sweet. It is not a Carrot 

 for the market garden, but it is, most emphatically, a Stock Carrot for 

 the farmer and stock raiser, and once used, nothing will take its place. 

 This Carrot is the heaviest cropping Carrot grown, yielding more tons 

 to the acre than any other sort. The flesh is White, crisp, solid, and very 

 sweet in flavor. It is a vast improvement over all other stock Carrots which 

 have been favorites in the past, as it is not only much more productive, 

 but vastly easier to handle. The roots are short and very heavy at the 

 Shoulder, rendering them easily harvested. An important feature, also, 

 is that they do not easily break in pulling or storing. Too much can 

 scarcely be said of their size and great productiveness. The roots fre- 

 quently measure 15 to 20 inches in circumference, and 25 to 50 tons to 

 the acre is not an extravagant statement as to yield. Weigh 10 to 25 

 pounds each. My Own Growth, Choicest Northern Home-Grown

BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED SHORT WHITE 



WONDERFULLY FINE STOCK CARROT 



This distinct variety is destined to take first rank as a field Carrot, owing 

 to its enormous productiveness and its growing well out of the ground, mak- 

 ing it comparatively easy to harvest. Roots one- half long, smooth, very 

 heavy at the shoulder, but taper regularly to the point. Color fight green 

 above ground, white below. Flesh rich, white, solid and crisp and of excel- 

 lent flavor. A heavy yielder, easily harvested, and the best of its class.

MAMMOTH WHITE BELGIAN 



A splendid variety for fattening stock. The roots are mammoth in size 

 and very productive, often yielding ten tons and over of roots per acre. It 

 is highly recommended for fattening all kinds of stock, and exceptionally de- 

 sirable for its great milk-producing qualities. The lower part of the root is 

 white, that growing above ground and exposed to the air being green. You 

 will be pleased with it. Pkt. 2c; oz. 5c; 2 OZ. 8c; i lb. 12c; i lb. 20c;

CULTURE 



Sandy loam made rich by manuring the previous year is best for the 

 Carrot, but any good land if deeply worked produces satisfactory _ crops. 

 Clover sod turned under deeply and well enriched with rotten manure is most 

 excellent for the general crop. When possible, sow as early in the Spring as 

 the ground is fit to -work. . Sow in drills 24 to 30 inches apart, two to three 

 pounds to the acre, according to distance between rows. Cover one-eighth 

 to one-fourth inch deep, and see that the s6il is well firmed about the seed. 

 As soon as plants appear use cultivator or wheel hoe, and do not let the weeds 

 get a start. Thin from six to nine inches apart in the row as soon as plants 

 are large enough. Gather and store for Winter use like Beets or Turnips.
