BUCKBEE'5 ALL RELIABLE TOMATO SEED. 



German, Liehonpjel. Frencli. Toinate. Spanish, Tomate. 

 One ounce of seed for 1,5IX) plants. One guarier pound lo transplant for an acre, 

 tomato growing for stock seed purposes only has always been a great specialty in my Seed Crowing Establishment. I number among my custom 

 ers the leading gardeners, canning companies and private planters throughout the country. Does this not speak well for the character of m> 

 Seeds ? I can vouch for the reliability of every variety listed, ^gmo:^ Tomatoes do best on light, warm, not overly rich soil, and success 

 lepends upon securing a rapid, vigorous unchecked growth during ^as^ the early part of the season. Sow in hot-beds from six to el;hT 

 weeks before they are to be set out of doors, which is when danger CwSBS ^^om frost is past. When the plants have four leaves transplant into 

 s-hallow boxes or cold frames, setting them four to five sffieS? inches apart. Give plenty of air and endeavor to secure a vigorous, 

 but steady and healthy growth, so that at the time of setting in **S2W ppg^ ground they will be strong and stocky A slight check while 

 the plants are small will materially diminish their productiveness. Set out of doors as soon as danger from frost is past, but before 

 doing so harden off the plants by gradually exposing them to the night air and by the withdrawal of water until the wood becomes hard and the- 

 leaves thick and of a dark green color. Transplant carefully and cultivate well as long as the plants will permit. The fruit is improved in qu^l 

 Ity if the vines of the reclining variety are tied to a trellis or to stakes. 



^UCKBEE'S EARLIEST MARKET — (See painting from naiuie on 

 ouLs.de baci£ cover page of tliis catalogue.) — A vaiitty iliat will 

 stand on its mi-rits in comparison to any othei- oflered to sub- 

 stantiate its claims as the Earliest Good Tomato. After careful 

 development we have a variety l>earing fruit which in size, 

 shape, color, solidity and quality will compare favorably with 

 the noted later kinds, ana by repeated trials at Rockford Sei d 

 Farms and elsewhere have' demonstrated that it lipensupa 

 larger proporiion of its crop the earliest of any variety. Ail 

 gardeners and Tomato fanciers ivill readilv see the advantage 

 obtained over their competitors by growing Buckbee's Eai'liest 

 Market. We do not hesitate to pronounce it the l,■^rgest, smooih- 

 est, best flavored and highest colored exira early Tomato. Vine 

 medium sized, leaved just enough'to protect the fiuit, which is

 and ripening all together. Those who desire a large, sn'ooih 

 good flarored. very early, fine scarlet colored Tomato: either for 

 family or market purposes, will find Buckbee's Earliest Market
