BUCKBEE'S FAMOUS DENT CORN 



In offering the following varieties of Field Corn I desire to say that they are the Buckbee "Full of Life" Brand and can be 

 relied on. CAREFULLY HARVESTED, HAND-SORTED, FIRE-DRIED, PEDIGREE STOCK SEED. 



SOLD ON THE EAR OR SHELLED. 



Our Corn Is Northern Grown 



We rcsret to say that a jireat ileal of Nebraska. Iowa and ev(Mi Missouri Corn is sold 

 each year bv seedsmen as Northern Urown Seed. The term "Northern Grown" is sonie- 

 wliat "indeUnite, and advantage is taken of this to deceive. With us "Nortliern Grow-n' 

 means 



TH.AT EVERY BUSHEL OF OUR SEED CORN OFFERED HEREIN 

 IS UROWN ON .AND .\ROUND OUR OWN HOME FARMS. 



■Uliile in unusually long .seasons the earliest varieties of Nebraska and Iowa grown 

 seed will sometimes mature in the Northwestern states, it is as a rule about thirty days 

 later than Illinois Grown Seed. We cannot believe that any intelligent farmer in the 

 Northwest will knowingly plant Southern seed when for a few cents an acre more he can 

 secure true and reliable planting stock that will mature. Tho.se who want early matur- 

 ing Corn should buy nothing but the true Northern Grown Seed, and alisolulely know 

 that they are getting it. 



Pedigree Seed Corn 



Buckbcc's Pedigree Seed Corn is bred 

 lor High \ ield. High Oil, High Protein, 

 High Prepotency. 



The yield of high bred Corn is from 10 

 to 40 p"er cent, greater than of ordinary 

 Corn. In pedigree Corn the per cent, of 

 barren stalks is reduced to ihe minimum, 

 while the per cent, of good ears is raised 

 to the maximum. 



High Oil Corn finishes beef and pork 

 more rapidly and requires fewer bushels 

 than ordinary Corn. 



High Protein makes Corn a balanced 

 ration for growing cattle. Ordinary Corn 

 contains 10 per cent, protein, pedigree 

 Corn 22.80 per cent , increase 12.80 per 

 cent. 



Prepotency increased by breeding. 

 Purity maintained by selecting for seed 

 only ears which are true to type; and by 

 isolation. 



One hundred bu. and more of high 

 bred Corn have been produced where 

 ordinary Corn yielded sixty bu. 



Buckbee New Early Prosperity 



THE BEST EARLY YELLOW DENT CORN 

 E.xtra Early, Vigorous Grower, Heavy Cropper, Wonderful 

 Yielder, Northern Grown. 



This new extra early 90-day Golden Yellow Dent Field Corn of my own introduc- 

 tion, has in the past few years, made more money for its growers than any other Dent 

 Corn ever put on the market yielding way ahead of the popular and standard 100 and 

 110-day varieties. Stalks grow to a height of seven or eight feet, and set the ears about 

 three and one-half to four 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 measur- 

 ing ten to twelve inches in length, often weighing one and one-half pounds or more. 

 Very uniform in size and shape, pure golden j'ellow kernels set on small-sized cob, which 

 is well filled out over the tip and butt. The grains are of good size, medium long, flat, 

 and clo.sely set together, deeply dented, and solidly fill the entire surface of the ear. In 

 its yield it will surpass all other yellow varieties — seventy pounds in the ear will make 

 more than sixtj" pounds of shelled Corn. 



Buckbee 's New Early Illinois 



THE BEST 90 DAY WHITE DENT CORN

A most marvelous variety of White Corn wliich will, in yield and quality, surprise

 merit. The stalks generally bear two good ears each, and frequently three are found. 

 It yields splendid crops even on light soil. AU ears are uniform and well filled out, and
