BUCKBEE'S NEW SANDWICH ISLAND— It affords me great pleasure 

 to present to you this new "Pumpkin Novelty." My customers 

 well know from experience that I never offer a "novelty" unless 

 it has been carefully tested, and this new pumpkin is no excep- 

 tion. Coming from a remote section of the Sandwich Islands — 

 where by chance my representative found it — it has already 

 created a great furor in its new home. Remarkably distinct in 

 every way, of fine size, very prolific bearer, and such deliciously 

 thick flesh. An excellent keeper. Certainly a grand future is 

 in store for this "New Pumpkin." Seed is naturally scarce this 

 season yet I place the price within the reach of all. ' Order early 

 before my supply is exhausted. Pkt. 10c. 3 pkts. 25c, 12 pkts. for 

 only SI. 00. 



BUCKBEE'S KING OF THE MAMMOTHS— See painting from nature 

 on outside cover page — Wonderfully grand and colossal variety, 

 astonishing every one by its mammoth size and heavy weight. 

 Think of it, a single pumpkin weighing 469 pounds. Many of you 

 saw this specimen on exhibition at the World's Fair. It is 

 always a prize winner at every fair and exhibition. Notwith- 

 standing its enormous size it is one of the best pie and table va- 

 rieties grown. A splendid keeper and exceptionally valuable for 

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

 Send to Buckbee for true stock seed. I do not save 

 seed from any specimens weighing less than 200 pounds. 

 Pkt. only 10c, oz. 15c, J^lb. 50c. y lb. 80c, lb. $1.50. 



WINTER LUXURY — This I recommend"as one of the best 

 pie Pumpkins ; an excellent keeper and enormously pro- 

 ductive. It is very finely netted and in color it is a golden russet. 

 Pkt. 5c, oz. 8c, lb. 25c, y lb. 40c, lb. 75. 



GENUINE SWEET POTATO— 4— A magnificent pear-shaped variety 

 of fine size, a little ribbed ; color creamy white, sometimes striped 

 with green. Has no superior for making pies and custards ; 

 when cooked it has somewhat the appearance of sweet potatoes, 

 but of more delicious taste. Flesh thick, creamy white, remark- 

 ably fine grained, dry and brittle ; hardy and productive, and 

 keeps perfectly sound until late in the spring. A grand favorite 

 wherever known. The best pumpkin for cooking purposes. Pkt. 

 4c, oz. 6c, \i lb. 18c, y, lb. 30c, lb. 50c. 



NEW CALHOUN — 3— Extraordinary fine variety, heavy and solid, 

 very productive and of excellent quality. Outside is a rich 

 cream color, flesh salmon yellow, very thick, fine grained and of 

 superior quality. One of the very best for general purposes. 

 Pkt. 4c, oz. 8c, % lb. 25c, y lb. 40c, lb. 75c. 



NEW JAPANESE PIE— 1— The small illustration correctly shows 

 the shape and extremely small seed cavity — all the balance being 

 solid meat throughout, which is of extra fine quality. The seeds 

 are distinct in appearance, being curiously sculptured in the 

 manner of Chinese letters. It is a very productive variety, the 

 pumpkins ripen early, of medium size, good keepers, and weigh, 

 fifteen to twenty pounds each. As to their quality, one enthusi- 

 astic grower says : The flesh is a rich salmon, usually fine grained, 

 and when cooked ur stewed is almost as dry and mealy as a sweet pota- 

 to. For making pies, custa7'ds, etc., they certainly have no equal. Con- 

 taining but little water, they can easily be cut and dried, like dried 

 apples, and make excellent pies or sauce for winter use. We will ven- 

 ture to say that pies made from the Japanese Pumpkin, without eggs, 

 are fully as cood«as pies made from any other variety when eggs are 

 used. Pkt. 3c, oz. 7c, y lb. 20c, y lb. 35c, lb. 60c. 



NEW JONATHAN — This fine, new "variety is already a standard, 

 very prolific, its hard shell makes it an excellent keeper. Flesh 

 is fine grained, clear and sweet, making it valuable for pies and 

 other table uses. Pkt. 3c, oz. 6c, y lb. 18c, y lb. 30c. lb. 50c. 



SMALL SUGAR — A particularly fine orange colored sort, remark- 

 ably sweet, fine grained and dry. Keeps well and cannot 'be 

 beaten for table use. Always gives the best satisfaction. Pkt. 

 4c, oz. 6c, % lb. 18c, y lb. 30c, lb. 50c. 



QUAKER PIE — 6 — Distinct, new variety of creamy white color, 

 both inside and out ; very hardy and prolific, always yielding a 

 wonderful crop ; makes a superior quality of pies. Very fine 

 grained, never becomes stringy, always a good' keeper. Don't 

 fail to try it. Pkt. 4c, oz. 8c, 14Tb. 25, y lb. 40c. lb. 75c. 



BUCKBEE'S WESTERN FIELD — 5 — The Great Yankee Pie Pumpkin. 

 Without an equal for field purposes, being very early; splendid

 ished at the result. Choice stock seed by mail postpaid, oz. 5c,
