BUCKBEE'S KING OF THE MAMMOTHS — Wonderfully granJ and 

 colossal variety, astonishing every one by its mammoth size and 

 heavy weight. Think of it, a single pumpkin weighing 469 pounds.

 withstanding its enormous size it is one of the best pie an.. „dble 

 varieties grown. A splendid keeper and exceptionally valuable 

 for feeding purposes. I control the complete stock of this variety.

 specimens weighing less than 200 pounds. Pkt. only 10c, oz. 15c,

 dried like dried apples, and make excel-
