BUCKBLL'5 "FULL OF LIFE" WHEAT 



SEED WHEAT 



DAKOTA RELLABLE — The roots are largely de\ eloped uiid hold firmly to the soil, which fact also 

 allows it to draw food Ironi the soil should dry weather prevail; also makes it better able to with- 

 stand attacks from insects. The stalks are firmly built from the ground up enabling them to with- 

 stand storms and they do not lodge till ripe. Dakota Reliable is one of the earliest: htads are 

 large, compact and well filled w ith large .size red grains. It is beardless, with red chaff and holds 

 grain firmly, prerenting scattering. The grain is heavy, plump and sound and its milling quali- 

 ties are all that can be desired. It is suited to a great variety of soils and adapted to a wide area 

 of country. Where an early Wheat is required, Dakota Reliable is the Wheat to sow.

H.25; bu. S2.00. In 5 bushel lots and oyer at $1.90 per bushel. 



HARVEST KING — A decidedly popular variety. Is very hardy: vigorous growth: great stooling 

 propensities, and for productiveness and good milling qualities it has few equals. It is not liable 

 to blight or rust, the straw is large and stiff and if blown down by a hard storm will not break but 

 head and regain its upright position after the sun shines. Heads are smooth, large and compact 

 and the grain is heavy.

RED WONDER — A most valuable bearded variety and is adapted to a great many soils. It can be 



depended upon for an abundant yield even in unfavorable seasons. It grows a little above medium 



height; straw jointed and stocky. The straw is very strong at base of head which accounts in a 



great measure for its ability to withstand storms without lodging. 



Prices, postpaid, lb. 20c.; 3 lbs. 50c. By express or freight at buyer's expense, i bu. 60c.; * bu.

BUCKBEE'S "FuU of Life" RYE 



SPRING RYE — This is quite different from the winter Rye and is highly valued wherever known. 

 It is not ortly more productive but the grain is of finer quality and it can be successfully grown In 

 any latitude. The straw is of special value as it stands six or eight feet high, being better than that 

 of Winter Rye and producing nearly four times as much straw as oats. Produces 30 to 40 bushels 

 of grain to the acre. As it does not stool like Winter Rye not less than two bushels to the acre 

 should be sown. 



Prices, postpaid, lb. 25c. By express or freight at buyer's expense, ^ bu. 36c.; i bu. 50c.; + bu. 80c. 

 bu. $1.36. 



BUCKBEE'S "FULL OF LIFE" GIANT WINTER RYE— This crop is used aU over the country for 

 Fall, Winter and Spring pasturage, early green food, and for green manuring', as well as for grain. 



It is very hardy and wiU grow on poorer land 

 than any other grain crops. It is a good Spring 

 soiling crop, giving the earlit^t bite of green 

 stuff and makes a fair quaUty of hay if cut in bloom or be- 

 fore it is fully headed out. Used for a grain crop its straw 

 makes the best of bedding for cattle and horses and if carefully 

 threshed sells at high prices for collar making and other minu- 

 facturing purposes. It is also an excellent green manuring crop 

 for turning under in the early Spring. Sow at the rate of IJ buihels 

 per acre. 



Prices, postpaid, per lb. 25c. By freight or express at buyer's expense, ; bu.

SUCCESS BEARDLESS BARLEY— Earliest Barley known. The straw is 

 about the height of common Barley, but better, and will .stand up on any 

 land. This is beardless and as easy to grow and handle as oats. It has 

 hulls like the Manshury and is a heavy cropper, yielding from 50 to 7.5 bush- 

 els per acre, and the quality is excellent. 



Prices, postpaid, per lb. 25c. By express or freight at buyer's expense. J bu.

BUCKBEE'S "FULL OF LIFE" BEARDED BARLEY— This is a very desir- 

 able grain for growiiii; in the South where it is profitably raised for Fall, 

 Winter and Spring grazing: or it may he cut b>?fore it heads out as a hay 

 crop. In many sections where it is difficult to grow Timothy and other 

 regular Grasses for hay the use of grain crops such as Barley. Rye, 

 Wheat and Oats is \ ery desirable, 'niey all make most nutritious feed and 

 cures up in first-class shape to take the place of hay. .\s Barley stools well 

 out it really makes better Fall, Winter and Spring grazing than either Rye or 

 Wheat. It is so easily grown and .•succeeds so well throughout the South 

 that it should be much more largely grown than at present. It can be seed- 

 ed down at the last working of corn, and as it prevents the washing of soils 

 by Winter raiits it i^ highly prized. Sow H to 2 bushels per acre.
