BUCKBEE'S NEW EARLY PROSPERITY 



THE BEST EARLY YELLOW DENT CORN 

 Extra Early, Vigorous Grower, Heavy Cropper. Wonderful Yielder, Northern Grown 

 This new extra early 90-day Golden Yellow Dent Field Corn ol my own introduc- 

 tion has, in the past few years, made more money for its growers than any other Dent 

 Corn ever put on the market yielding way ahead of the popular and standard 100 and 

 110-day varieties. 



We do not attempt to give much of an illustration of this "FINEST OF ALL 

 CORNS'' as no artist could do justice to the great beauty and other general merits 

 Of this Corn. 



Of beautiful color, Golden Yellow, ears large and long, well filled out from the tip 

 and butt with a remarkable small cob, always insuring a record breaking crop. Stalks 

 grow on an average of seven feet high setting the ear about three and one-half feet 

 Jrcm the ground which is of course an ideal height for use and profitable picking. In 

 all or tUu fields of this Corn, and we have grow-n thousands of acres, we have yet to find 

 a barren sta k, every stalk has had at least one ear and oftentimes as high as three and 

 believe that at least 25 9c have had two ears. The type is ^-ery even, ears measuiing 

 on an average twelve inches in length and oftentimes weigh eighteen to twenty-two 

 ounces or more, size and shape is uniform, being well filled with many rows of -deep, 

 true. Golden Yellow Kernels set on a smaU cob which is well filled out from tip to butt. 

 The grains are of good size, long, fiat and closely set togethei , deeply dented and sol- 

 idly filled in the entire surface of the ear. 



In yield it is something remarkable — seventy pounds in the Ear wiU make a good 

 sixty pounds of shewed corn of excellent quality in every way This variety is ex- 

 tremily hardy and a good drought resister, being adapted to wide range of soil and 

 variety of chmate and doing well with little attention. Do not know of any variety 

 of Yellow Corn which will out- shell or out-yield this sort. The stalks make excellent 

 forage, rerap-'uing green and tender for a long time after the Corn is husked. You will 

 make no mistake by planting this sort if you want the best. 



As compared with other corns at S2.00 per bushel less than we ask for Buckbee's 

 Prosperity, the returns will more than double the profits if you plant Buckbee's Pros- 

 perity. All of our stock is carefully selected and graded and is A No. 1 every time.

 A Great Cropper, Strong Grower, Natural Yielder 



Produces an abundance of excellent fodder, unsurpassed for home, market or silo. 

 This new Corn which was first introduced by Buckbee several years ago, has forced 

 its way to the front and is acknowledged from Coast to Coast by all the leading grow-

 which is worthy of a place in every garden whethei large or small.

 quantity of fodder which grows strong rank and quick to a height of about ten feet 

 and stands up against storms to a remarkable degree. The ears are usually set about 

 four feet from the ground which Is a very convenient height for picking. Without 

 any exception it will outyield any variety of Field Corn which we have ever seen with
