 popular with every one who plants it. Top small, upriglit growing, 

 so tliat the rows may be close together; Leaf stem and veins dark 

 red, blade green: root globular or ovoid and very smooth; color skin 

 dark blood red; flesh deep vermillion red, zoned with a darker shade,

Buckbee's Sunset 



Without e.xception the Greatest Beet on Earth. 



rf- This grand novelty awarded Prize Medal. The director of tlie 

 Maine Experimental College, at Orno, writes; "I consider Buckbee's 

 Sunset the most promising new variety." E.xtended experience ha.s 

 shown this variety of my own introduction to be one of the best sorts, 

 not only for market gardeners, but for the home garden. This va- 

 riety was introduced as an improvement in turnip-shaped Beets for 

 table use, and I have, by careful selection, improved each succeeding 

 crop, until I feel certain that it is by far the best red turnip Beet in 

 cultivation. Tops small, upright growing so that the rows may be 

 close together. The stock which we offer will produce a crop more 

 uniform in sliape, color and quality than any other. I control the en- 

 tire stock of this variety. Pkt. 5c.; oz. lOc. ; 2 oz. 18c.; J, lb. 30c.:

FEEDiHG. 



The great ^alue of Sugar Beets for .Stock Feeding cannot be overestimated, analysis having demonstrated the fact that 400 pounds of Sugar Beets are 

 equivalent to 100 pounds o( the best hay. They are not as heavy yielders as Mangels, but contain a much larger percentage of saccharine. 

 German Sup^a r Bppt t!^'^'" Wanzleben.) This variety at the present time has probably a wider cultivation than any other Sugar Beet . 

 1 IT- cr°^ \\hile not, as a rule, equal to Buckbee's New Imperial Sugar in saccharine richness, it is considerably more pro- 



ductive. \\e offer German-grown seed the second year from polarized roots. Oz. Sc.; i lb. 14c.; i lb. 20c.; 1 lb. 35c.; or S lbs. (for one acre)

 ; analyses showing that the percentage of sugar which can be obtained from this variety is about sixteen. Its average yield may be stated as

 the country, always with the most satisfactory results. Oz. 5c.; i lb. 15c.; i lb. 25c.; lb. 40c.; 5 lbs. (for one acre) $1.75, prepaid. 

 Giant FeedinP" SuP'ar r magnificent sugar Beet while giving nearly as large a yield of easily grown and harvested roots as a crop 

 * v,v,v»iiig, of Mangels, supplies a food of very much higher nutritive value, the roots for feeding purposes being really 



more valuable, pound for pound, than those of the very best strains of Sugar Beet, and the yield under equally favorable conditions being more 

 tiian double. 1 he roots grow partly out of the ground and because of this and their shape the crop can be harvested and stored at less expense 

 than any other root crop. Every farmer should try it. Oz. 7c.; ' " : J lb. 30c.; lb. 50c.; or 5 lbs. (for one acre) $2.25, postpaid.
