SELECTED, GRADED, HAND-SORTED, TESTED, PEDIGREED. 



BUCKBEE'S 

 NEW EARLY KLONDIKE 



THE BEST YELLOW DENT CORN FOR 

 NORTHERN LATITUDES 



A magnificent variety of 90-day Corn. The 

 result of many years' careful hybridization. It 

 has Riven splendid results, particularly through- 

 out the Northern Corn belts, since its introduc- 

 tion. If you want a Corn that matures quickly, 

 this is the Corn to buy. It is good to harvest 

 early in the Fall, to enable you to seed the 

 ground with other grain. 



WORLD-BEATING IN ITS CLASS 



You can earn your money very quickly by 

 planting this great variety, and you may depend 

 upon it to grow more bushels on poor land than 

 any other early variety known. On ordinary 

 fair ground it will yield from 90 to 110 bushels 

 per acre. It produces a small cob, w hich dries 

 quickly and leaves the Corn sound and sweet. 

 The ea'rs are of excellent size, and an abundance 

 of the finest quality fodder is assured. It stands 

 drought better than any other variety; husks 

 and shells easily. Earliest Corn to market, and 

 will prove a veritable money producer. 



Buckbee's Early Gold Mine 



This great variety will usually produce a 

 crop in ninety days or less. It can safely be 

 planted up to the middle of June and still be 

 depended upon to ripen by the middle of 

 September. It produces a magnificent yield, 

 there generally being two good-sized ears to 

 the stalk, witli immense, long oily kernels, 

 closely set and the cob well filled to the end. 

 The Corn is of rich golden color. 



CLORE'S 

 BOONE COUNTY SPECIAL 



Requires 125 to 128 days for full develop- 

 ment. The ears are from 9 to 12 inches long. 

 Tips and butts are especially well filled. Ker- 

 nels are creamy white, moderately rough, very 

 deep, with fine large germ. It is a great natural 

 yielder and grows abundantly producing an al- 

 most fabulous quantity of fodder which grows 

 strong, rank and quick to a height of about ten 

 feet and stands up against storms to a remark- 

 able degree The ears are usually set about 

 four feet from the ground which is a very con- 

 venient height for picking. W'ithout any e.xcep- 

 tion it will outyield any variety of W'hite Corn 

 which we have ever seen with the exception of 

 Buckbee's Illinois. 



REID'S YELLOW DENT 



The standard Yellow Dent Corn for Northern 

 Central Illinois, Northern Iowa and like cli- 

 mates in Indiana and Ohio Ears 9 to 10 in- 

 ches long, very slowly tapering; about 7 inches 

 around; 18 to 24 rows, with narrow space be- 

 tween; kernels light yellow. Our strain is slight- 

 ly rough, tapering very slightly; cob medium. 

 Matures under favorable conditions in 110 to 

 115 days. 



REGENERATED RED HACKBERRY 



The Corn that surprises llie grower. Its great yield, large ears, and the ea.se and rapidity 

 with wliich it can be harvested render it a favorite wherever it is known. I'or those who desire 

 a first-cla.ss variety of red Corn this is the one we recommend above all others. It is one of 

 the best varieties for feeding purposes, not being hard enough to prevent stock from eating it 

 easily and masticating it thoroughly. Its color is a rich, dark red with occasional light caps; 

 grairi deep and hackled; ear somewhat above the average with small cob which dries out rap- 

 idly so that it is not apt to be caught by frost. It is a safe Corn to plant and produces a good 

 cro"p in unfavorable .seasons when other Corns will hardly make nubbins. It is given great care 

 witli us and our stock has been carefully selected for seed purposes. 



WHITE CAP YELLOW DENT CORN 



This is a Corn tliat is greatly appreciated by farmers in the Northern States, as it is such 

 a heavy yielder of both fodder and corn. The stalks grow about 8 feet in height, while the 

 ears are always of good size, and no matter how unfavorable the season is, whether it is wet 

 or droughty, this Corn will always produce at least a good average yield. It is a strong grower 

 and roots very deeply, having sufficient vigor to produce a good crop even on thin and poor 

 soil which is otherwise not adapted for growing Corn. The large-sized, handsome ears are 

 solidly packed with kernels of good average size, the exposed surface of which is white, while 

 the sides of the kernels are yellow.

 ing qualities. Maturing in 125 to 128 days. Large amount of foliage with broad leaves. Ears
