Beans 



BUCKBEE'S 



ELECTRIC TREE 



The Host Prtductive Bean in the World 



The most productive and heavy cropping 

 Bean known, growing nearly two feet high, 

 branching out in all directions, and bearing 

 its pods so high that they seldom touch the 

 ground, enabling it to stand a wet spell 

 without any injury. All who have-raised 

 Beans know that when the pods lie in con- 

 tact with the ground after ripening a very 

 httle rain will ruin the crop, turning the 

 pods and beans black. This is indeed a 

 wonderful cropper, j-ielding from seventy- 

 five to one hundred bushels per acre, aver- 

 age cultivation, while hundreds of my cus- 

 tomers report yields of from forty to sixty 

 bushels per acre imder average cultivation. 

 Plant them tw(j and one-half feet apart, 

 eighteen inches in the row, two to three 

 beans in a hill. They are much easier cul- 

 tivated than small-growing varieties and 

 much easier harvested. They mature reas- 

 onably early and ripen very evenly. As a 

 baking Bean.Buckbee's Electric Tree is not 

 equaled, and will meet your most sanguine 

 expectations for market or family purposes.

GIANT BEGGAR WEED 



A FORAGE PLANT THAT NEVER 

 BECOMES A PEST 



Great for forage and as a restorer of land. It is more valuable for fertilizing than either Peas or Clover 

 and equal to them for feeding. When once established it grows every year without further attention. It will not 

 interfere with other crops, can be kept under by cultivation, can be eradicated in two years of successive pasturing. 

 This is important, because some forage plants become pests when the land is needed for other crops. The plant is 

 a strong feeder, with deep roots, like alfalfa, bringing from the subsoil the dormant fertilizing elements, and will en- 

 rich the land by its decaying fcliage^ithout the expense of plowing it under. Land planted With Beggar Weed 

 has improved 300 per cent in six years. Hogs, horses, cows and mules eat it greedilj-. Can be pasture land 

 in Summer and Fall. Can be sown in the Com field. Will thrive on much poorer land than most forage crops. More 

 fattening to stock than all other known forage plants. Five pounds of seed for an acre. Drill or sow broadcast in 

 the Spring after frost. Postpaid, 02. lOc; i lb. 25c.; lb. 45c.; 5 lbs. $1.75.
