BUCKBEE'S "Full of Life" FIELD CORN 



THOROUGHLY ACCLIMATED, TESTED, NORTHERN GROWN 



Buckbee's New Earlg Prosperity 



THE BEST EARLY YELLOW DENT CORN 

 Extra Earli), Vigorous Grower, Heavg Cropper, Wonderful Yielder, 



Northern Grown. 



This new extra early 90-day Golden Yellow Dent Field Com of my own introduc- 

 tion, has in the past lew years, made more money for its growers than'any other Dent 

 Corn ever put on the market yielding way ahead of the popular and standard 100 and 

 110-day varieties. Stallis grow to a height of seven or eight feet, and set the ears 

 about three and one-half to four feet from the ground — just the right height for easy 

 picking. A wonderful peculiarity of this Corn is that it never produces a barren 

 stalk — every one has an ear, and generally two, sometimes three. The type is very 

 even, ears measuring ten to twelve inches in length, often weighing one and one-halt 

 pounds or more. Very uniform in size and shape, pure golden yellow kernels set on 

 small-sized cob, which is well filled out over the tip and butt. The grains are of good 

 size, medium long, flat, and closely set together, deeply dented, and solidly fill the 

 entire surface of the ear. In its yield it will surpass all other yellow varieties — sev- 

 enty pounds in the ear will make.more than sixty pounds of .shelled Com.

THE BEST 90 DA Y WHITE DENT CORN 



Extra Early, Vigorous Grower. Sure Cropper. 



A most marvelous variety of White Corn which will, in yield and quality, sur- 

 prise everyone who plants it. Thousands of our customers from every part of the 

 country are more than pleased with the wonderful results obtained by "planting this 

 grand, good, reliable hite Dent Corn. It is, indeed, a fitting companion to New 

 Early Prosperity, the one being all that a White Dent ought to be. the other a Yel- 

 lov\- Dent of surpassing merit. The stalks generally bear two good ears each, and 

 frequently three are found. It yields splendid crops even on light soil. All ears are 

 uniform and well filled out. and will easily make sixty pounds of shelled corn to the 

 bushel. Yields of 115 bushels per acre being about the average. We claim that 

 there are more good points combined in these two Corns than in anv ten other 

 varieties in cultivation. Our seed is carefully harvested, hand sorted, fire dried 

 Pedigreed Stock and is sold either on the Ear or Shelled. 



Regenerated Red Hackberry 



The Corn tliat surprises the grower. Its great yield, large ears, and the ease and 

 rapidity with which it can be harvested render it a favorite wherever it is known. 

 For those who desire a first-class 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; grain deep and hackled; ear some- 

 what above the average uith small cob which dries out rapidlv so that it is not 

 apt to be caught by frost. It is a safe Corn to plant and produces a good crop in 

 unfavorable seasons when other Corns will hardly make nubbins. It is given great 

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



White Cap Yellow Dent Corn 



This is a corn that is greatly appreciated by fanners in the Northern States, as 

 It is such a heavy yielder of both fodder and corn. The stalks glow about 8 feet in 

 height, while the ears are always of good size, and no matter how unfavorable the 

 season is, whether it be wet or droughty, this corn will always produce at least a 

 good average yield. It is a strong grower and roots very deeply, ha-sing sufficient 

 vigor to prodtice a good crop even on thin and pool soil which is otherwise not 

 adapted for growing com. The large-sized, handsome ears are sohdly packed with 

 kernels of good average size, the exposed surface of which is white, while the sides 

 of the kernels are yeUow. 



Improved Calico 



A hybrid Corn all colors, from dapple yellow to red. A magnificent yielder of 

 high feeding qualities. Maturing in 125 to 12S days. Large amount of foliage with 

 broad leaves. Ears 8 to 12 inches long, 7 to 8 inches in circumference. Kernels

 three and one-half to four feet from the groimd. Ears measuring from ten to twelve 

 inches in length and weighing one and one-half pounds are not uncommon. 



Rileifs Favorite 



In selecting the seed each year I have avoided extremes either way, but have 

 selected as my standard ear, one of medium si.^e and from a stalk of medium height 

 niaking the .special point of selecting as small a cob as possible.
