Buckbee's "Full of Life" 

 Flax Seed 



No. 25 or Primost Flax 



This is a pure bred Flax. It is selected from a 

 variety which came lo the Minnesota Experiment 

 Station from the U. S. Department of Asricullure. 



In 1896 numerous indiNidual plants were selected 

 from a bed of this Flax, some with heavy bus. y tops 

 to be used in breeding for a larger yield of seed, 

 others with tall, slender stems for fibre. Each of 

 these selected mother plants was grown in the 

 nursery for several years, and the resulting varie- 

 ties from some of them were so promising that they 

 were increased and put into the field variety test 

 plots where they were grown for three years. The 

 best of these stocks selected for seed is the ilinne- 

 sota No. 25, and named Primost. Our supply of 

 this seed is hmited. Send your orders early. Price, 

 per lb. 20c.; 3 lbs. 50c., postpaid. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, J bu. 50c.; i bu. 90c.; i bu. $1.55 

 bu. (56 lbs.) $2.85; 2 bu. $5.60; 10 bu. or more at

MILLETS 



Nothing pays better for a stock raiser and dairy farmer than a few acres of Millet of some kind 

 or It not only yields at least again as much hay per acre as Timothy and Clover, but it is also of the 



neatest feeding value and milk-producing quaUty. The hay is a very fine quality and is greatly rel- 

 shed by all kinds of stock. When spring is so unfavorable that other crops fail to grow, or when 



;he season is so late and wet that corn will not mature any more, then there is always the greatest 



demand for Millet. It should, however, be sown regularly every year, and not merely as a catch 



crop. 



New Japanese Millet 



Pearl Millet. 



Grows from four to seven feet tall, but is not harsh and'woody. as other grasses and is one of the most profitable and valuable seed 'crops. 1 

 aave grown this splendid Millet for years, and have been so careful in the selection and improvement of stock seed that Buckbee's strain is acknowl- 

 adged to be the best in existence. In some sections of the country it is known as Barnyard Millet, while in other parts of the country it has been er- 

 roneously introduced under the name of "Billion Dollar Grass." In spite of these names it is such a good thing that it has come to stay, and 

 will hve long in the public favor under its proper name, Japanese Millet. In this latitude we usually sow from .May 10th to 20th. Sown at these dates 

 .t will make an excellent soiling crop, gi\'ing two cuttings — about mid-July and late August. I have frequently had this Millet attain a height of six 

 ind one-half to seven feet, and so heavy that no binder could handle it. It yields 50 to 70 bushels seed per acre and three to five tons hay. Sow the 

 seed broadcast at the rate of twenty to twenty-five pounds to the acre, or in drills twelve to eighteen inches apart, using ten to fifteen pounds per 

 icre Postpaid, lb. 20c.; 3 lbs. 50c. By express or freight, not prepaid, i bu. 40c.; i bu. 65c.; i bu. $1.10; bu. (36 lbs. ) SI. 95; 2 bu. $3.80; 10 bu. or 

 more at $1.85 per bu. 



Pearl Millet 



This quick-growing forage plant has been long known 

 under the name East India, or "Cat-tail" Millet. Sown in 

 drills' four feet apart and cultivated like Com, the plants 

 attain a height of eight to ten feet with slender, long-bladed 

 leaves. These stalks can be cured for Winter use, and the 

 seed makes an excellent poultry food. But the best use 

 of the plant is to cut the stalk for green forage when about 

 three feet high, and allow the plants to make a second 

 growth for Fall feeding or ensilage. Ten pounds of seed are 

 required per acre. Postpaid, lb. 25c. ; 3 lbs. 70c. By ex- 

 press or freight, not prepaid, 5 lbs. 75c.; 10 lbs. $1.25; 

 25 lbs. $2.65. 



Buckbee's 

 California Beauty Millet 



The most remarkable leafy, bushy, vigorous-growing, 

 earliest Millet in the world. Yields as high as fifteen tons 

 of hay or more to the acre. It will make a magnificent 

 crop of hay if sown immediately after your oats or barley, 

 rye or wheat is cut, as it will ripen in from sixty to ninety 

 days. It is positively the Millet wonder — very leafy, pro- 

 lific, and exceptionally fine for hay and feed. This Millet, 

 unlike any other, stands the hot dry winds of the Dakotas, 

 the burning prairies of Kan.sas, and flourishes on the semi- 

 arid soils of Western Nebraska and Colorado — in fact, it 

 grows where no other Millet grows. Sow one-half bushel 

 per acre. Postpaid, lb. 25c.; 3 lbs. 70c. By express or 

 freight, not prepaid, 1 bu. 35c.; -J- bu. 50c.; i bu. 90c: bu. 

 (50 lbs.) $1.75; 2 bu. $3.40; 10 bu. or more at $1.65 per bu. 



German or Golden Millet 



One of the best varieties. Quick growing, and will 

 produce an immense amount of valuable fodder. It makes 

 the best of hay. Sow J bu. per acre. Postpaid, lb. 20c.; 

 3 lbs. SOc. By express or freight, not prepaid, J bu. 30c. ; 

 i bu. 45c.; + bu. 80c.; bu. (50 lbs.) $1.45; 2 bu. $2.80; 

 10 bu. or more at $1.35 per bu. 



Hungarian Grass 



OFTE.N CALLED HUNGARIAN MILLET 



Valuable hay for stock raisers: yields a good supply. It 

 should be cut when in bloom, and the fiber will not be too 

 woody for feeding stock. Sow i bu. per acre. Postpaid, 

 lb. 20c.; 3 lbs. 50c. By freight or express, not prepaid, 



1 bu. 35c.; i bu. SSc; i bu. 9Sc.; bu. f48 lbs.) $1.75;
