BUCKBEE'S FAMOUS DENT CORN 



Two Great Money-Makers 



In offering the following two varieties of Field Corn I desire to say 

 that they are the true Buckbee Brand and can be relied on. 



CAREFULLY HARVESTED, HAND-SORTED, FIRE-DRIED, 

 PEDIGREE STOCK SEED. SOLD ON THE EAR OR SHELLED. 



Buckbee's Great Western Yellow Dent 



Has Given Great Satisfaction to Every Grower for Many Years. 



.Stalks grow to a height of seven or eight feet, and set the ears about three and 

 one-half to four feet frora the ground — ju.st the right height for easy picking. A 

 wonderful peculiarity of this Corn is that it never produces a barren stalk — every 

 one has an ear. and generally two, sometimes three. The type is very even, ears 

 measiuing ten to twelve inches in length, often weighing one and ono-half pounds 

 or more. Very uniform in size and shape, with sixteen to eighteen rows of deep, 

 pure golden yellow kernels set on small-sized cob, which Ls weli filled out over the 

 tip and butt. The grains are of good size. long, flat, and closely .set together, 

 deeply dented, and .solidly fill the entire surface of the ear. We call this a one- 

 hundred-day Corn, but 



IT OFTEN RIPENS IN NINETY- FIVE DAYS 



of average Corn weather. In its yield it will surpass all other yellow varieties — 

 seventy pounds in the ear uill make more than sixty pounds of shelled Corn. 

 Buckbee's Great Western Yellow Dent is extremely hardy and a determined drought 

 lesister. It is adapted to a wider range of soil and variety of climate than any 

 yellow Corn ever offered. No \ellow Corn outshells or outj'ields it. After the 

 Corn is husked the stalks generally remain in fine growing condition and make an 

 exceptionally \ aluable forage crop. 



Buckbee's Great Western White Dent 



A most marvelous variety of White Corn which in yield and quality, 



surprise everyone who plants it. Thousands of my customers from every part 

 of the cotmlry are more than pleased with the wonderful results obtained by 

 planting this grand, good, reliable White Dent Com. It is indeed a fitting com- 

 panion to Buckbee's Great Yellow Dent, the one being all that a White Dent 

 ought to be, the other a Yellow Dent of surpassing merit. The stalks generally 

 bear two good ears each, and frequently three are found. It jields splendid crops 

 even on light soU. All ears are unitorm and well filled out, and will easily make 

 sixty pounds of slielled Corn to the busliel. So general has the 

 demand for this great Corn become that 1 have found it impos- 

 sible to supply all calls for it the past two years. My crop the past 

 season was a splendid one: but while 1 expect to fill aU orders, 

 1 caimot too strongly urge you to place your orders early. 



As long as my seed lasts 1 am pleased to offer 

 I he two varieties ol GREAl WESTERH DEIfT 

 CORN listed below at the following low prices:
