Enormous Yielding Prize Winners. 



PI P?I**P QC71D |]\J IVIUVn That all experimental investigations and other tests have placed Carrots among the 

 wf r» »^ l, uL,nu ' leaders as a desirable food for stock. Dairymen prize them very highly for their 



great fattening qualities and increasing the supply of milk to a wonderful degree. There is no better lood in winter for horses 

 and other stock than Carrots cut small, then sprinkled with salt and fed with meal. You cannot fail to have a good crop by plant- 

 ing mv Superior Western Grown Carrot Seed. I would particularly recommend that those interested in growingroots for 

 stock feeding send to the United States Department of Agriculture, Washington. D. C, for a free copy of Bulletin No. 11, giving an 

 analysis of American Foodstuffs. If you wish to grow Carrrots for stock you will make a serious mistake if you grow any other 

 than these two kinds. Wherever they are shown at fairs, exhibitions, etc , they invariably capture the prize. 



BUCKBEE'S MRJESTie. 



This is the largest and unquestionably the heaviest cropping 

 and most nutritious yellow variety in cultivation. It is the larg- 

 est and best form of orange or yellow Carrot known. The roots 

 are remarkably tine, very symmetrical and of excellent quality, 

 possessing high feeding properties. It grows fully half as much 

 weight again per acre as the ordinary varieties, and as the roots 

 grow more above the ground, it is much easier to gather the 

 crop. This grand variety is sure to suit everyone who grows it.

BueKBEE's viereRin. 



This 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. A vast improvement on the 

 white and green Belgian sorts, as it is much more productive 

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

 at the shoulder, rendering them easily harvested. The roots 

 frequently measure from 15 to 20 inches in circumference, and 

 18 to 25 tons to the acre is not an extravagant statement as to 

 the yield. Pkt. 5c; oz. 10c: 2 oz. 16c; J 4 lb. 25c; \i lb. 40c- 

 lb. 75c; 5 lbs. $3.50 postpaid. 



J " I! " " » U We are frequently asked: "Which is the better of these two Carrots?" While there are many who prefer 

 the Majestic, I am tree to say that Victoria is equally as much in favor. It is true that yellow Carrots 

 are somewhat more in favor than the white, but there is no other white stock Carrot that can compare 

 friut ii " " witn Buckbee's Victoria for all-round good qualities. In order, however, that our customers may test 

 the comparative merits of these two great Carrots, we will send to any address to any part of the United 

 States, postpaid. One Pound Each of BucKbee's Majestic and Victoria Carrotsfor only $1.40. My five pound price, 

 viz. : 70c. (postpaid) per pound is absolutely the lowest price at which it will be possible for me to sell these two greatest of all 

 Carrots in quantity. 



Buckbee's Improved Short White.

 tening stock. The roots are mammoth in size and very produc-
