 four ears on a stalk. Matures exceedingly early, from sixty to seventy days being a

" The seeds I ordered from you this Spring were the best 1 ever planted. 

 1 believe Buckbee's seeds are the best seeds on the market today. They are 

 sure to grow." 



Mrs. Chas. Larsen, Forsythe, Mich., writes: 



" Our seeds from Buckbee's turned out all right. We had among the 

 Red Table Beets one that weighed ten pounds. Our Sugar Beets, on 

 poor ground, were fine, weighing an average of four pounds. From an 

 ounce of seed we raised ten bushels of Stump Rooted Yellow Danvers Car- 

 rots, big ones, beside the small ones."

JERUSALEM CORN 

 A New Forage Plant of Great Merit. Belongs 

 to the non-saccharine sorghums, and was brought a 

 few years since from the arid plains of Palestine. It 

 is pronounced the best and surest grain crop for dry 

 countries and seasons — even better than Kaffir Corn 

 or Milo Maize. It grows several smaller heads on 

 side shoots — often as many as eight heads on a stalk. 

 Very valuable for feeding stock, and proves a gold 

 mine for chicken feed. Plant five to ten pounds per 

 acre. Postpaid, i lb. 15c; lb. 25c. At buyer's 

 expense, 5 lbs. 40c; 10 lbs. 75c. 



BRANCHING DHOURA CORN 

 Yields from six to sixteen stalks from one 



seed. Being allied to Sugar Cane, cattle, horses and 

 hogs will eat it ravenously. The Rural New-Yorker 

 says: "Though during the severe drought Corn dried 

 up within a few feet of it, the branching Dhoura suf- 

 fered but very little, producing from four to twelve 

 branches, and grew sturdily from six to ten feet high. 

 If cut down it starts again with renewed strength. 

 It yielded at the first cutting at the rate of sixty- 

 eight tons to the acre. Plant five pounds in rows per 

 acre. Postpaid, A lb. 15c; lb. 25c At buyer's 

 expense, 5 lbs. 40c; 10 lbs. 75c 



WONDERFUL MILO MAIZE CORN 

 Excellent Fodder Plant for Feeding. In a 

 great many sections it is planted to the exclusion of 

 all others. It will produce an amazingly large crop 

 of the richest green fodder of superlative quality. 

 It will grow anywhere. The seed is an excellent fat- 

 tener, and is relished by all cattle, hogs, poultry, etc. 

 Plant 5 pounds in rows per acre. Postpaid, Jib. 15c;.
