BUCKBLE'S CELEBRATED CORN 



I have made a specialty for years of raising, carefully harvesting, hand sorting, 

 firedrying.curingand preparing for planting purposes BUCKBEE'S PEDIGREE SEED CORN. 

 I wish to particuJarly emphasize the fact that my corn is grown as far north as practical la 

 attaining the highest degree of perfection. Do not be misled by buying cheap, inferior stock, 

 but send direct to the grower, thereby making sure of your crop. I cannot urge you too 

 strongly to order at once and have your order shipped by freight, thereby saving ex- 

 cessive charges. Remember that I prepay charges on quarts, half pounds and pounds. 

 Quantities of one-eighth, one-fourth andone-huif bushels or more, will be shipped at 

 buyer's exoense. Prices include bags for shipping. My seed will grow with more 

 vigor, be earlier, return larger crops, and in every particular be superior to seed pro- 

 duced elsewhere. These points alone make my seed cheap at double the price asked. 

 Even so, is it not betier to pay a fair figure and know you are right, than take chances 

 on southern and eastern seed as a gift? 



As long as mv stock seed lasts, I am pleased to offer the two varieties of GREAT 

 WESTERN DENT CORN listed below at the following low prices: (SHELLED* Post- 

 paid, 1 lb. 15c; lb. 25c By Express or Freight at buyer's expense, % bu. 30c; % bu. 50c; Yi bo. 

 80c; bu. $1.50; 2 bu. $2.90. 10 bu. lots or aore at $1.40 per bushel.

 buyer's expense; 1 bu. $2.50; 2 bu. $4.75; 5 to 10 bu. lots or more at $2.25 per bu. 



TWO "BIG M O JVEV-MAK.E'RS 

 BUCKBEE'S GREAT WESTERN YELLOW DENT. 



By all odds the earliest, largest 100-day yellow Dent Corn 



in existence. Stalks grow to a height of 7 or 8 feet, 

 and set the ears about 3J/ 2 to 4 feet from the ground — 

 just the right height for easy picking- A wonderful 

 peculiarity of this corn is that it never produces a 

 barren stalk, every one has an ear and generally two, 

 sometimes three. The type is very even, ears mea- 

 suring 10 to \i inches in length, often weighing \)4 

 pounds or more. Very uniform in size and shape, 

 with 16 Co 18 rows of deep pure golden yellow kernels 

 set on small sized cob, which is well fillled ou*. over 

 the tip and butt. The grains arc of good size, long, f.at, 

 and closely set together, deeply dented, and solidly 

 fill the entire surface of the ear. We call this a 10(5- 

 day corn, but it often ripens in 95 days of average 

 corn weather. In its yield it will surpass all other 

 yellow varieties; 70 pounds in the ear will make more 

 than 60 pounds of shelled corn. Bnckbee's Great West- 

 ern Yellow Dent is the hardiest and the greatest drought 

 resister. It is adapted to a wider range of soil and 

 variety of climate than arjy yellow corn ever offered. 

 It outshells and outyields all other yellow ccrn. After 

 the corn is husked the stalks generally remain in fine 

 growing condition and make an exceptionally valu- 

 able forage crop. 



Hon. A. J. Love joy, 

 ROSCOL, ILL. 



The eminent Berk- 

 shire Hog Breeder, 

 writes: "lam greatly 

 pleased with the results 

 that I have obtained 

 by planting Buckbee's 

 Great Western Fellow 

 Bent Corn for the past 

 number of years." 



BUCKBEE'S GREAT WESTERN WHITE DENT. 



The mosl marvelous variety of White Corn ever offered, and which will sur- 

 priseeveryone who plants it. Thousands of ourcustom- 

 ers from every part of the country are more than pleased 

 with the wonderful results obtained by planting this 

 grand, good, best of all 'White Dent Corn. It is, in- 

 deed a fitting companion to Buckbee's Great Yellow 

 Dent- the one being the best White Denton record, 

 and the other the best Yellow Dent in existence. 

 The stalks generally bear two good ears each and 

 frequently ihree are found. It yields 

 splendid crops even on light soil. All 

 ears are uniform and will filled out, and 

 will easily make 60 pounds of shelled corn 

 to the bushel. So general has 

 the demand forthis great corn 

 become that we have found it 

 impossible to supply all calls 

 for it the past two years. Our 

 crop the past season was very 

 splendid, but while we expect 

 to fill all orders, wecannot too 

 strongly urge you to place your 

 orders early.
