...BUCKBEE'S RELIABLE TOMATO SEED... 



German, Liebesapf el. French, Tomate. Spanish, Tomafe. 

 One ounce of seed for 1,500 plants. One-quarter pound to transplant for an acre. 

 Tomato growing for stock seed purposes only, has always been a great specialty of my Seed Growing Establishment. I number 

 among mv customers the leading sardeners, canning companies and private planters throuehout the country. DOES THIS NOT 

 SPEAK WELL FOR THE CHARACTER OF MY SEED ? I can vouch for the reliability of every variety listed. 



CULTURE Sow in a hotbed, greenhouse or box in a window of a sitting room, where night temperature is not less than 60 

 degrees Fahr., about the first week in March, in rows five inches apart and half an inch deep. When the plants 

 ?i'e about two inches high they should be set out in bo.ves inches deep, four or five inches apart, in same temperature, or removed 

 into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot. They are "sometimes transplanted a second time into larger pots or boxes, by which 

 procjss the plants are rendered more sturdy and branching. About the middle of May. in this latitude, the plants may be set in the 

 •pen ground. Thej' should be planted for early crop in light, sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good 

 shovelful of well rotted manure has been mixed. "On heavy soils, not suited for an early crop, they should be planted four feet apart.

 Livingston's Dwarf .-Aristocrat— (See cut)— In growth and 

 foliage resembles Buckbee's Tree, and might be taken for that 

 popular variety if it were not for the color of its beautiful rich 

 glossy red fruit, so much preferred in many localities to the pur- 

 ple or rose-colored vai'ieties. The size, solidity, productiveness, 

 smoothness, flavor of its fruit, etc. ; is up to the present day. 

 standard of excellence. Desirable for forcing under glass and 

 growing outside for early marEet purposes. Smooth and 

 round. and its delicate tinted coat so glossy, tha't it is entitled, to 

 the name '-Aristocrat." Fkt.oc, oz.25c. J4 Ib.Toc. i.ab.Sl.25, lb.*2.

 ingston sorts. Averages one-half larger than Beauty, always
