BUCKBEE'S GIANT 



Prize winner everywhere. Thi.s maKiiificeul Kuta Baga. which I fir.«t

 ive, a yield of 1,000 bushels per acre and over, under careful cultivation, 

 being of frequent occurrence. Bulbs are somewhat oval in shape, .^lightly 

 oblong and remain sountl and good indefinitely. Flesh is of a beautiful 

 yellow color, always sweet, tender, juicy aud nutritious. The finest of all 

 Swedes, and a variety that should be .^own in preference to all otliers. Mr. 

 H. R. Kimball, writes: "Haveused Buckbee's Giant Kuta Bagas fora niun-
