 New Early Klondike 



THE BEST YELLOW DENT CORN 

 FOR NORTHERN LATITUDES 



A magnificent variety of 90-day Coru. 

 The result of may years' careful hybridiza- 

 tion. It has given splendid results, particu- 

 larly throughout the Northern Corn belts, 

 since its introduction. If you want a Corn 

 that matures quickly, this is the Corn to 

 buy. It is good to harve.st 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 ordinarily fair ground it will yield from 

 90 to 110 bushels per acre. It produces a 

 small cob. which dries quickly and leaves 

 the Corn .sound and sweet. The ears 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 pro- 

 duce a crop in niiiet.v da.vs or less. It 

 can safely be planted up to the middle 

 of June and still he depended upon to 

 ripen by the middle of September. It 

 produces a magnificent yield, there gen- 

 erally being two good-sized ears to tlie 

 stalk, with immen.se, long oily kernels, 

 closely set and the cob well filled to the 

 end. The Corn is of rich golden color.

Our Corn Is Northern Grown 



We regret to say that a great deal of Nebraska, Iowa and even Missouri corn, is sold each 

 year b.y .seedsmen as .Northern Grown Seed, The term "Northern Grown"is somewhat indefi- 

 nite, and advantage is taken of this to deceive. With us "Northern (lirowu" means 



That every bushel of our Seed Corn offered herein 



is grown on and around our own home farms. 



Wliile in unusually long seasons the earhest varieties of Nebraska and Iowa grown seed will 

 sometimes mature in the Not t western states, it is as a rule about thirty days later than 

 Illinois Grown Seed. We cannot believe that any intelligent farmer in the Northwest will 

 knowingly plant Southern seed when for a few cents an acre more he can secure true and rc- 

 hable planting stock than will mature. Those who want early matuiing corn should buy nolh- 

 in.g but the true Northern Grown Seed, and absolutely know that they are getting it. 



P_'_„_ on Seed Corn named in this catalog are those existing on date of publica- 

 1 ILCij lioxi, December 15. We will maintain these prices as long as pos.sible, but, as has 

 been the ca.se the past two or three seasons, we may find it necessary to adva.ice values dur- 

 ing the spring. We cannot too strongly iir^e early ord^ts and all orders which are received 

 early will be filled at these rates and corn, will be reserved and shipped at the proper time.
