BUCKBEE'S FAMOUS DENT CORN 



Thoroughly Acclimated, Tested, Northern Grown 



(See Page 63 for Prices) 



Buckbee's Great Western 

 Yellow Dent 



Has Given Great Satisfaction to Every Grower 

 For Many Years. 



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 piclcing. 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 

 measuring ten to twelve inches in length often 

 weighing one and one-half pounds or more. 

 Very uniform in size and shape, with si.xteen 

 to eighteen rows of deep, pure golden yellow 

 kernels set on small-size cob, which is well 

 filled out over the tip and butt. The grains 

 are of good size, long, flat, and closely set to- 

 gether, deeply dented, and solidly fill the en- 

 tire surface of the ear. We call this a one- 

 hundred-day Corn, but 



IT OFTEN RIPENS IN NINETY-FIVE DAYS 



of average Corn weather. In its yield it will 

 surpass all other yellow varieties — seventy 

 pounds in the ear w'iU make more than sixty 

 pounds of shelled Corn. Buckbee's Great West- 

 ern YelJow Dent is extremely hardy and a deter- 

 mined drought resister. It is adapted to a wider 

 range of soil and variety of climate than any 

 yellow Corn ever offered. No yellow Corn out- 

 shells or outyields it. After the Corn is husked 

 the stalks generally remain in fine growing con- 

 dition and make an exceptionally valuable for- 

 age crop. 



Buckbee's Great Western 

 White Dent 



A most marvelous variety of white Corn, which 

 will, in yield and quality, surprise everyone who 

 plants it. Thousands of my customers from 

 every part of the country are more than pleased 

 with the wonderful results obtained by planting 

 this grand, good, reliable White Dent Corn. It 

 is. indeed, a fitting companion to Buckbee's 

 Great Yellow Dent, the one being all that a 

 White Dent ought to be, the other a "iellow 

 Dent of surpassing merit. The stalks generally 

 bear two good size ears each, and frequently 

 three are found. It yields splendid crops even 

 on light soil. All ears are uniform and well filled 

 out, and will easily make sixty pounds of shelled 

 Corn to the bushel. So general has the demand 

 for this great Corn become that I have found it 

 impossible to supply all calls for it the past two 

 years. My crop the past season was a splendid 

 one; but, while I expect to fill all orders, I can- 

 not too strongly urge you to place your orders 

 early. 



Buckbee's Improved 

 Pride of the North 



A wonderful improvement over the old reli- 

 able standby — Pride of the North. This splen- 

 did pedigreed variety is unquestionably one of 

 the very best 90-day Field Corns for Northern 

 latitudes. It will ripen in Northern localities 

 hitherto able to grow only the Flint varieties, 

 hence is of the greatest value. On ordinary fair 

 to good ground it will yield from 50 to above 100 

 bushels per acre. Small cob, which dries quick- 

 ly, and leaves the Corn sound and sweet. Ears 

 of excellent size: an abundance of the finest fod- 

 der; stands drought better than any other vari- 

 ety; husks and shells easily; is the earliest Corn 

 to market.

Buckbee's Great Liberty- 

 Field Com 



This new variegated Corn combines more solid 

 merit than any Corn in cultivation, more fine and 

 lasting points. Its great merit lies in the fact 

 that it is a natural yielder. Expert Corn growers 

 pronounce it a perfect Field Corn as to yield, 

 size of the ears, color, size of cob, length of 

 grain, size of grain, size of fodder, size of growth 

 of fodder, and the extra fine quality of the fodder.
