PARSNIPS are well known as a delicious table vegetable, but their value for the purpose of feeding cattle and stock is but 

 little appreciated. The parsnip is rich in saccharine food, which adds greatly to the richness of the milk when fed to cows.while 

 the fresh succulent roots increase the flow of milk as greatly as does the use of fresh, green food in the spring. It is especially 

 valuable for the purpose from its extreme hardiness, as the roots can be left in the groand ali winter and improve in qualitv bv 

 the continued freezing. NE<W MALXES£

The best Parsnip on earth. so say thousands of my customers, 

 who made trials of this variety in 1904, and after repeated trials 

 at Rockford Seed Farms during the past six years. I have no 

 hesitancy in offering you this splendid new Parsnip. Roots 

 grow to a fine size, of good diameter, enabling them to be easily 

 gathered; the roots are exceedingly smooth, the flesh is fine 

 grained and of the most excellent quality. A magnificent crop- 

 per, yielding as high as 750 bushels per acre under good cultiva- 

 tion. You will not be disappointed by planting Buckbee's New 

 Sugar Parsnip for any purpose for which this desirable vege- 

 table is used. Remember that I control the entire stock of this 

 variety for 1905. Send to Buckbee for the True Sugar. Pkt.
