Buckbee's "Full of Life" OATS 



FOR FALL PLANTING 



Improved Winter Turf Oats. This is undoubtedly one of the best all round Oats for planting , 

 iu the Fall as they afford a valuable pasture the greater part of the Winter and early Sjiring, 

 thus reducing the quantity of other necessax'j' food. Their growth on any piece of laud prevents 

 washing and loss of much valuable plant food. They may be harvested early enough in the 

 Spring for other cixjps to follow. The stubble of such a crop plowed in is of great value to the 

 land. This variety spreads and stools out enormously, especially when grazed, and if stock be 

 taken off by March will yield a large crop of grain. This is a very popular Oat in the South 

 especially on the light sandy soils of the coast region. It is also preferred for low ground or in 

 situations where other Oats are much inclined to rust. Prices, postpaid — Lb. 20c. ; 3 lb. 50c. 

 By express or freight at Buyer's expense— bu. 35c.; }4 bu. 60c.; bu. .?1.10. In 5 bu. lots and 

 over SI. 05 per bu. 



Texas Red E.USt-Proof Oats< A standard favorite not only in Texas from which it derives its 

 name; but all through the Southern States. "The Texas grown Oat is a very heavy berry, 

 nearly every one has a distinctive beard. One peculiarity about it is that the color varies 

 owing to the seasons. It should be planted on strong soil which should be broken deeply. 

 Prices, postpaid— lb. 20c.; 31b. 50c. By express or freight at Buyer's expense—}^ bu. 35c. ; Xbu. 

 6.5c. ; bu. SI. 20. In 5 bu. lots and over SI. 10 per bu. 



Tennessee or Virginia Gray Winter Oats. This has proved immensely popular and satisfac- 

 tory wherever it has been grown. While it is a standard variety in the above named States, 

 and where it is claimed there is easily ten times as much gi-own as any other variety, yet it is 

 not so well known or so largely grown in other large Southern States as it should be. We 

 strongly recommend our farmers in the South to sow it more extensively, as for Fall seeding, 

 with favorable weather conditions it will yield much better and make much more satisfactory 

 crops, than other varieties usually sown in the South. When sown early and the roots thor- 

 oughly established in the soil, it is as hardy as Wheat and will stand as much cold as that crop. 

 It makes a good growth before Winter sets in and furnishes excellent grazing during the late 

 Fall and Winter and early Spring without injury to the grain crop afterwards. Its stooling 

 propensities are remarkable and if the weather conditions are anyways favorable it soon 

 spreads and covers the ground with a thick heavy growth. The yield of grain is large and from 

 fifty to seventy bushels per acre can reasonably be expected on good soil ; while on very rich 

 land it has yielded over 100 bushels per acre. The grain is of a dark gray color with a distinct 

 stripe and weighs heavier than the ordinary Oat. While it is better to sow this variety in 

 August and September it is frequently seeded as late as the middle of November. Prices, post- 

 paid— Lb. 20c. ; 3 lb. 50c. By express or freight at Buyer's expense — ^ bu. 35c.; }4 bjii. 60c.; 

 bu. SI. 10. In 5 bu. lots and over SI. 05 per bu. 



Appier Oats (The New Southern Winter Oat). Reports fi-om certain sections would indicate that this is the earliest, heaviest 

 and most prolific Winter Oat. It makes a strong growing straw with bunchy heads of heavy grain ; and in the opinion of 

 some enthuiasts is destined to supercede very largely the Tennessee or Virginia Gray Winter wherever it is grown. It is 

 the most resistent variety to rust that is grown in the South. When grown in good land the grain is very large, red in color 

 and will frequently weigh as much as 36 to 38 lbs. to the measured bushel. Fall is undoubtedly the best time to plant this 

 variety, and all who have grown it pronounce it unquestionably the best and most reliable Winter Oats for the South. At 

 harvest time a field of more than fifty acres of these Oats presented a magnificent sight and was pronounced by all who saw 

 it one of the finest fields of Oats that was ever grown. We offer the true Appier Oat. Prices, postpaid — Lb. 20c. ; 3 lb. 50c. 

 By express or freight at Buyer's expense — bu. 35c. ; % bu. 65c.; bu. SI. 20. In 5 bu. lots and over $1.10 per bu. 



All the above Oats should be sown a1i»the rate of \}4 to 2 bu . per acre, and are sold at 32 lbs. per bu.

 closed a money order for the following Seeds. Those I got so 

 far have given good results and neighbors are delighted with 

 my Peas and Cabbage. I send for seyeral of them now as well

 (luimend your Estra Early Large New Queen Cabbage; it is 

 the best Cabbage that ever grew ; its heads are large, sound and 

 > ilid. Your Beefsteak Tomato is a fine variety. I had some 

 Tomatoes as large as a saucer. BUCKBEE'S SEEDS ARE

Mr. W. W. Partnet, Woodbine, Cooke Co., Texas, writes 

 Feb. 26th, 1908: I want to say I am well pleased with the re- 

 sults growing garden stuff from Buckbee's Seeds and I consider 

 your Early Race Horse Cabbage the best, crispest, sweetest 

 early Cabbage grown, and I have tried a great many kinds in 

 1907, but BUCKBEE'S RACE HORSE beats them all by ten 

 dkys to two weeks— it is a world beater for early market and 

 those who plant for market will make no mistake in growing it 

 largely and to the exclusion of every other variety. 



Mrs. a. W. Humphrey, 95 Innis Ave., Columbus, Ohio, 

 writes February 25th, 1908: Enclosed you will find my order 

 for Seeds. I have used your Seeds for a number of years and 

 have always found them just as represented.
