TIMOTHY 



In the Field Seed Department of my business I devote the same painstaking care 

 that is given to all other departments. My offerings of Grass Seeds of all kinds are 

 therefore not only thoroughly reliable, but are the best that can be produced. It 

 is a fact too well known to be successfully assailed that Northern-grown Timothy Seed 

 is far superior to that grown in lower latitudes, and will grow a greater crop, no matter 

 where it may happen to be sown. My facilities for growing extra choice Timothy 

 Seed are unequaled, my location for the work is the best in the world, which gives 

 my customers the advantage to a tremendous degree. Furthermore, any prices for 

 the best seed are as low as those charged by others for inferior seed. The Buckbee 

 quality in Timothy Sued counts for as much as the Buckbee quality in all other seeds. 



BTJCKBEE'S RELIABLE TIMOTHY SEED 

 Northern Grown; Thoroughly Recleaned; Free of Weeds 



I offer seed of the very highest germinating power that in the recleaning process 

 has been given extra attention. It is strictly Northern grown, and its value is double 

 that of seed grown in lower latitudes. There is no climate in which it will not produce 

 immense crops if the land is suitable for the growth of Timothy. (45 lbs. per bu.) 



My prices, postpaid, lb. 20c; 3 lbs. 60c. By express or freight at buyer's 

 expense, bu. $1.75. 



TTTVTOTTTY ma ^ es tne standard grass for hay. It can be sown alone or with 

 ■ L -" J - V -' ■•■ -£1 ■*■ Red Clover, and in either case, on the right sort of land, yields 

 immensely. Sow twelve to fifteen pounds of seed to the acre, and cut when flowering. 

 Thrives best on moist, loamy soils, and usually attains a height of four feet. 



MAND'S WONDER FORAGE PLANT 



I know of no forage plant, and I believe there is none in existence, that will give 

 heavier yields of forage than will Mand's Wonder Forage Plant. In all sections of 

 this country where Corn can be grown this plant will succeed. It will certainly sup- 

 plant as a forage plant Sorghum, Kaffir Corn and Milo Maize. It is easier to grow 

 than Corn or any other forage crop, producing a large amount of fodder at a cost of 

 less than one dollar a ton. I hope that every one of my friends will give this wonderful 

 new plant a trial. I know it will give satisfaction. 



Price per pkt. 5c; J lb. 15c; lb. 50c, postpaid. By express or freight at 

 buyer's expense, 5 to 10 lb. lots, or more, at 30c per lb.

THE VELVET BEAN 



NATURE'S GREAT SOIL RESTORER 



The Velvet Bean is, a green manuring and foliage plant that is creating a great sensation at the South, where it is disputing for favor with 

 the Cow Pea. It makes a strong growth at the North, also, and is now widely recognized as a thing of high value. The vines grow to a length 

 of ten to thirty feet, and form a deep mass of nutritious fodder. The Florida Experimental Station reports 16,680 pounds of green forage per 

 acre, and it is said to cure in less time than the Cow Pea and to make an equally valuable hay. At the South its use is for hay, for soiling and 

 for improving the character of the land; at the North its place is with the Cow Pea, as it will grow and flourish on poor land. It has a place in 

 the flower garden as well as in the field, for it bears showy clusters of purple blossoms, and being an excellent climber, quickly covers arbors, 

 lattice work, poles, etc. Plant twelve quarts per acre, in rows five feet apart.

PENCILLARIA 



THE GIANT WONDER FORAGE PLANT 



This plant has received many strong advertisements and write-ups in the past year — heralded from 

 one end of the earth to the other as the greatest forage plant, as the most wonderful fodder plant, as the 

 most marvelous hay producer this side of the stars: indeed, several salesmen have lauded the merits of 

 this plant until one stands bewildered and asks, "What next?" On our own farms it has done exceed- 

 ingly well, and we recommend for it a thorough trial, as it requires very little seed to give a most thorough 

 test. We know farmers who have planted several acres and who would not part with this wonderful 

 forage plant. It is a tremendous stooler, and in its quality resembles our marvelously prolific forage 

 plant, Teosinte. It should be planted two or three feet apart in the row, and the rows about three and 

 one-half feet apart. Cultivate two 'or three times if possible, and by that time the sight will astonish 

 the beholder, and you will marvel at its luxuriance and you will dream that you are in the tropics; but 

 your wonder will but then begin. 



MARVELOUS DENSITY OF GROWTH 



As you watch it grow until it has reached twelve or fourteen feet and densely covered your land you 

 will surely believe that you are finding your way through Central American tropical bottoms! It will 

 average forty rich, juicy, leafy stalks to the plant, which will be covered with seed heads twelve to twenty- 

 four inches long. The seed makes good feed for poultry, and ground for cattle cannot be beat. Sow 

 Pencillaria as early as you would Indian Corn. The usual way of growing it, however, is to mow the 

 crop when from three to six feet high, and it will immediately start again, and can be mowed four to six 

 times during the season. If allowed to grow until the flower heads begin to develop before cutting it 

 will yield the heaviest crop of any fodder plant we know of, and it is greatly relished by all kinds of stock, 

 either in its green or dry state. Sow seed very thinly in drills twenty-four to thirty-six inches apart. 

 Every farmer, and in fact everyone who keeps cows, horses or hogs, should try it if they wish to grow 

 an immense crop of fodder cheaply on a small amount of ground. Postpaid, } lb. 15c; lb. 35c; 3 lbs 

 $1.00. By express or freight at buyer's expense, lb. 25c. ; 5 lbs. $1.00; 25 lbs. $3.75; 100 lbs. $13.50.
