TIMOTHY 



In the FieH Seed Department of my business I devote the same painstaking care 

 that is j^iven to all other departments. My offerings of Grass Seeds of all kinds ari' 

 therefore not only thoroughly reliable, but are the best that can be produced. It is a fact 

 too well known to be successfully assailed that Nofthern-grown Timothy Seed is far 

 superior to that grown in lower latitudes, and will grow a greater crop, no matter 

 where it may happi'U to be sown. My facilities for growing extra choice Timothy Seed 

 are unecjualed, my location for the work is the best in the world, which gives my cus- 

 tomers the advantage to a tremendous degree. Furthermore, my prices fcr the best 

 seed are as low as those charged by others for inferior seed. The Buokbee quality in 

 Timothy Seed counts for as much as the Buckbee quality in all other seeds. 



BUCKBEE'S RELIABLE TIMOTHY SEED 

 Northern Grown; Thoroughly Recleaned ; Free of Weeds 



T offer seed of tlie very highest germinating power that in the recleaning process 

 has been given extra attention. It is strictly Northern grown, and its value is double 

 that of seed grown in lower latitudes. There is no climate in which it will not produce 

 inuneiise crops if the laud is suitable for the growth of Timothy. (45 lbs. per bu.)

 expense, 3* bu. 69c- ; bu. $2. 47. 



TIIVinTHV Makes the standard grass for hay. It can be sown alone or with Red 

 1 IITIV/ 1111 Clover, and in either case, on the right sort of land, yields immensely. 

 Sow twelve to fifteen pounds of seed to the acre, and cut when flowering. Thrives best 

 on moist, loamy soils, and usually attains a height of four feet. 



iHAND'S WONDER FORAGE PLANT 



t know of no forage plant, and I believe there is none in existence, that will give 

 heavier yields of forage than will Hand's Wonder Forage Plant. In all sections of 

 this country where Corn can be grown this plant will succeed. It will certainly sup- 

 plant as a forage plant Sorghum, Kaffir Corn and Milo Maize. It is easier to grow 

 than Corn or any other forage crop, producing a large amount of fodder at a cost of 

 less than one dollar a ton. I hope that every one of my friends will give this wonder- 

 ful new plant a trial. I know it will give satisfaction. '

THE VELVET BEAN 



NATURE'S GREAT SOIL RESTORER 



The Velvet Bean is a green manuring and foliage plant that is creating a great sensation at the South, where it is disputing for favor with 

 the Cow Pea. It makes a strong growth at the North, also, and is now widely recognized as a thing of high value. The vines grow to a length 

 of ten to thirty feet, and form a deep mass of nutritious fodder. The Flordia Experimental Station reports 16,680 pounds of green forage per 

 acre, and it is said to cure in less time than the Cow Pea and to make an equally valuable hay. At the South its use is for hay, for soiling 

 and for improving the character of the land; at the North its place is with the Cow Pea, as it will grow and flourish on poor land. It has a 

 place in the flower garden as well as in the field, for it bears showy clusters of purple blossoms, and being an excellent climber, quickly covers 

 arbors, lattice work, poles, etc. Plant twelve quarts peracre, in rows five feot apart.

PENCILLARIA 



THE GIANT WONDER FORAGE PLANT 



This plant has received many strong advertisementa and write-ups In the past year— heralded 

 from one end of the earth to the other as the greatest forage plant, as the most wonderful f od€er 

 plant, as the most marvelous hay producer this side of the stars; indeed, several salesmen have 

 lauded the merits of this plant until one stands bewildered and asks, "What next?" On our own 

 farms it has done exceedmgly well, and we recommend for it a thorough trial, as it requires very 

 little seed to give a most thorough test. We know farmers who have planted several acres and 

 who would not part with this wonderful forage plant. It is a tremendous stooler, and in its quality 

 resembles our marveously prolific forage plant, Teosinte. It should be planted two or three feet 

 apart in the row, and the rows about three and one-half feet apart. Cultivate two or three times 

 if possible, and by that time the sight will astonish the beholder, and you will marvel at its lux- 

 uriance and you will dream that you are in the tropics; but your wonder will but then begin. 



AIARVELOUS DENSITY OF GROWTH 



Aa yoa watch it grow until It has reached twelve or fourteen feet and densely covered your I 

 land you will surely believe that you are finding your way through Central American tropical | 

 bottoms! It will average forty rich, juicy, leafy stalks to the plant, which will be covered with 

 seed heads twelve to twenty-four inches long. The seed makes good feed for poultry, and ground ( 

 for cattle cannot be beat. Sow Pencillaria as early as you would Indian Com. The o.sual way I 

 of growing :t, however, is to mow the crop when from three to six feet h;?h, and Vr will im-| 

 mediately start again, and can be mowed four to six times during the season. If allowec: to grow I 

 iinti. tUe newer heads begin to develop before cutting it will yield theheaviest crap of any fodder I 

 p.ant we know of , and it is.greatly relished by all kinds of stock, either in its green or dry state. 

 Sow seed very thmly in drills twenty-four to thirty-six inches apart. Every farmer, and in fact [ 

 evGry-one whokeepa cows, horses or hogs, should try it if they wish to grow an immense crop of | 

 fodder cheaply on a small amount of ground. 



Postpaid, % lb. 15c.; lb. 35c.; 3 lbs. $1.00. By express or freight at buyer's ex- 

 pense, lb. 25c.; 5 lbs. $1.00; 25 lbs. $3.75; 100 lbs. $13.50.
