FOR many years we have enjoyed a trade in Turuijj and Ruta Baga 

 Seed in the South that it has been a wonderment to those who 

 have visited our establishments to learn how we ever built up 

 such a large and satisfactory biisiness ; but we make a specialty 

 of growing- these with particular reference to their adaptability and 

 suitableness to Southern soil and climate. It makes a big difference 

 in crop results where the seeds you intend to sow were grown, but 

 you can make no mistake whatever in starting right in and buying 

 your seeds from Buckbee's, who will supply you with seeds that will 

 give the BEST RESULTS. 



For feeding stock in Fall and Winter there is nothing superior to 

 [ Turnip and Ruta Bagas, as they are much relished by all kinds of 

 Sstock besides keeping them in good condition. In the field Turnips 

 'are generally sown broadcast, though larger crops are obtained by 

 sowing in drills sixteen inches apart and half an inch deep, but in 

 either case be sure to have the ground rich and well prepared. In 

 the Middle and Western States sow for Fall and Main Crop from 

 middle of July to last of August, and in the South they may be sown 

 eight months in the year. One ounce of seed for 250 feet of drill, two 

 to three lbs. for an acre. 



Buckbee S Improved Red or Purple Top "White Globe Every one who uses Turnips, no matter in what quantity should 

 by all means grow this splendid variety. It is globular shaped and about the same size as the Large White Globe, of a most 

 beaiitiful appearance, unexcelled in quality, fine grained and well flavored. You can get nothing better for table or market, 

 and is greatly relished by stock. Prices postpaid, pkt. 5c., oz. 8c., 2 oz. 15c., }i lb. 30c., }4 lb. ::ioc., 1 lb. 60c.
