BUCKBEE'S 

 ILLINOIS 



The Astonishing Agricultural Introduction 

 of this Generation. Opened a New Era of 

 Profitable Oat Growing Tliroughout the En- 

 tire Country. Introduced and Became Fa- 

 mous Solely on Merit. 



This great Oat i.s the result of succes.'^ful 

 selection and hybridizing. Bred for .sowing 

 on the rich soils of the Prairie States. So that 

 there would be strong straw to carry the 

 heavy grain. Everyone knows how much 

 that means. Its great points. 



Type WeU Fixed. 



Grain Large and Weighty. 



Straw Very Eea\-y and of good Length. 



Extremely Early. 



Panicles Large and Open. 



The noted agriculturi.st, J. H. Beagley, of 

 Champaign County, lU., an undisputed au- 

 thority, says: "Your new Oat, "lUiaoi.s,' 

 yielded more the past season than the Lin- 

 coln and other v.ell-known varieties." It is 

 an ideal sort for any soil; will positivelj- not 

 lodge, nor rust, and nothing short of a cy- 

 clone will get it down. Jly trials show yields 

 of over 100 bushels to the acre, with not a 

 single favorable season. My seed stock 

 weiglis over 40 lbs. per struck bushel.

 ENTIRE STOCK OF ILLINOIS OAT SEED. 



IMPROVED WINTER TURF OATS— This is undoubtedly one of the best aU round Oats for planting in the 

 Fall as they afford a valuable pasture tlie greater part of the Winter and early Spring, thus reducing 

 the quantity of other necessary food. They may be harvested early enough in the Spring for other 

 crops to follow. This variety spreads and stools out enormously, especially when grazed, and If stock be 

 taken off by March will yield a large crop of grain. This is a very popular Oat in the South, especially 

 on the light sandy soils of the coast region.

BUCKBEE'S RED SAMSON 



Rust-Proof. 



Strong Strawed, 



Heavy Yielding. 



Very popular throughout the South, particularly on the light sandy soils of the coast region. Also 

 greatly preferred for low grounds or other locations wheie other varieties of Oat.s are inclined to rust. 

 Favorable sowing time in the Southern section is from September on through March, though the bulk of 

 the sowing is done from October to February. Buckbee's Red Samson makes a large yield of fine heavy 

 grain, and is beyond question at the top notch in its class. 



Prices, postpaid, V lb. 18c.; lb. 30c. By express or freight at buyer's expense, Jbu. 25c., 1 bu. 40c.; i bu. 

 70c.; bu. $1.25; 2 bu. $2.40; 5 bu. or more at $1.10 per bu. 



TEXAS RED RUST-PROOF OATS — A standard favorite not only in Texas from which it derives its name; 

 but all through the Southern States. The Texas grown Oat is a very heavy berry, nearly everj- one 

 has a distinctive beard. 



Prices postpaid, lb. 20c.; 3 lb. 50c. By express or freight at buyer's expense, i bu. 35c.; i bu. 66c.; bu. $1.20. 

 In 6 bu. lots and over SI. 10 per bu. 



TENNESSEE or VIRGINIA GRAY WINTER OATS— This has proved immensely popiUar and satisfactory 



wherever it has been grown. "When sown early and the roots thoroughly established in the soil, it is 

 as hardy as Wheat and wiU stand as much cold as that crop. It makes a good growth before Winter 

 sets in and furnishes excellent grazing during the late Fall and Winter and early Spring without injury 

 to the grain crop afterwards. Its stooling propensities are remarkable and if the weather conditions 

 are anyways fayorable it soon spreads and covers the ground with a thick lieavy growth. The yield of 

 grain is large and from fifty to seventy bushels pel acre can reasonably be expected on good soil. The 

 grain is of a dark gray color with a distinct stripe and weighs hearter than the ordinary Oat. While it is 

 better to sow- this variety in August and September it is frequently seeded as late as the middle of No- 

 vember. 



Prices postpaid, lb. 20c.; 3 lb. 50c. By express or freight at Buyer's expense, i bu. 35c.; \ bu. 60c.;bu. $1.10. 

 In 6 bu. lots and ovei $1.05 per bu. 



XED JiUST PROOF OATS. 



APPLER OATS (The New Southern Winter Oat ). Reports from certain sections would indicate that this is the earliest, heaviest and most 

 prolific Winter Oat. It makes a strong growing straw with bunchy heads of heavy grain, and in the opinion of some enthusiasts is destined 

 to supersede very largely the Tennessee or Virginia Gray Winter wherever it is grown. It is the most resisient variety to rust that is grown 

 in the South. Fall is undoubtedly the best time to plant this variefv, and all who have grown it pronounce it unquestionably the best and 

 most reliable Winter Oats for the South. 



We offer the true Appier Oat. Prices postpaid, lb. 20c.; 3 lb. 50c. By express or freight at buyer's expense \ bu. 35c.; i bu. 65c.; bu.
