BUCKBEE'S "FULL OF LIFE" 



Planting 



THE American people in general 

 and our Southern Gardeners, and 

 Truckers in particular, should 

 unquestionably pay more attention 

 to the fall planting of vegetable crops. 

 Agreat many vegetables can be plant- 

 ed and grown during the fall to ad- 

 vantage and profit. The late fall and 

 early winter planting of Cabbage, 

 Lettuce, Kale and Spinach is proving 

 particularly desirable and profitable. 



The list of Vegetable Seeds which w e 

 ofEer embraces the very best varieties 

 in cultivation. We do not attempt to 

 multiply the number of varieties, but 

 simplj' to select the very best, and 

 such as are particularly adapted to 

 the different soils and climates. In 

 selecting and growing our seeds, our 

 constant aim is to supply the "^cry 

 best seeds that can be grown, at as 

 reasonable prices as first-class seeds 

 can be sold.

MONEY IN IT, if you grow the Seeds and Roots produced on BUCKBEE'S

Asparagus is the most delicious, healthful and desirable of the earliest spring vegetables, and would be grown in every gar- 

 den, were it not for the mistaken idea that it is difficult to grow. The truth of the matter is that it can be grown very easily 

 and cheaply, even by inexperienced people.

ASPARAGUS ROOTS 



From the vast amount of correspondence we receive every year asking for information on "Asparagus Culture," it is quite 

 evident a large proportion of would be customers are of the opinion that spring should be the proper season for setting out Aspara- 

 gus Roots; but for the benefit of all interested, wish to correct this impression by stating, as a matter of fact, that October and 

 November are two of the best niontbg in the whole year for doing this work, and our records show that wesendout more Asparagus 

 Roots In these two months than we do during the entire spring.
