■"k rv ¥ ¥\r^T^ nPPrv An\T some plain statements as to how 



MHIIIIll/HH ^HHIl I J 1 1/ \ AND WHY THE VARIETIES IN THIS 



1 l^Lflvllyl^Lv ±J l~4\J Vvlyl i guide are the veey best grown 



I have made a specialty for years of raisine. carefully harvesting, hand sorting, fire dryine, curine and preparing for planting 

 purposes BUCKBEE'S PEDIGREE CORN. I wish to particularly emphasize the fact that my corn is grown as lar north as practical 



in attaining the HIGHEST DEGREE Of PERFECTION. Do not be misled by buying cheap, inferior stocs, 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 freieht. 



thereby saving excessive charges. 



UPON HONOR TO THE. PLANTERS OF CORN EVERYWHERE 



SELECTING SEED CORN AT ROCKFORD SEED FARMS 



If every one of my customers came here to select the ears of corn from which they wanted their Sep i Corn, they could not exer- 

 cise more care than I do. I cannot afford to send them something they would not pick out to fill their wants. And that is about all 

 there is to it. Years of experience in selecting and storing Seed Corn endble me to know what to se I to the planter and what to re- 

 ject. My business success depends entirely upon doing unto the seed bayer as I would want the seed buyer to do unto me. In the 

 Seed Corn department, as ia every other department of the Buckbee business, the only plan of action is "The Square Deal."' I en- 

 deavor to make prices right. I know the Seed Corn is right. I know that it will please e?ery buyer. And if any buyer does not like 

 the loot* of any Seed Corn that I may send him. he is at liberty to return it in 10 days and get his mouey back. Taat's as square a 

 deal as I know of.

THE GREATEST YIELDING AND FEEDING VARIETIES OF HUNDRED = DAY 



DENT CORN IN THE WORLD. 



These two varieties, which my own tests and the plain, every-day, farm-cropping tests of my customers, 

 convince me are just what I claim them to be— THE GREATEST YIELDING AND FEEDING VARIETIES 

 OF HUNDRED-DAY DENT CORN IN THE WORLD. Originated on Rockford Seed Farms, and can be secured 

 of no other seedsman. Early Illinois and Prosperity always Grade No. 1, which means that they always com- 

 mand the highest price on the market, a point no corn grower can afford to overlook. Manufacturers of Corn 

 Products will pay more money for them than for any other corn. 



Sold on the ear only. Not less than one bushel of each variety -v^ 111 be sold. 



Price. 1 bushel. S3 00: 2 bushels. *5.75; 5 bushels. S13.75. Lots of 10 bushels or more. ?2.50 per bushel 



As a special favor I will fill orders for 1 bushel of each variety for ?5.75: or 5 bushels or more of each variety 10 bushels or 



more in air at ?2.50 per bushel.
