BUCKBEE VARIETIES 



SURE TO PLEASE. 

 ALL MONEY MAKERS 



The Kgg Plant should be grown in every garden, for it is one of the most delicious of vegetables. 

 Sliceil anil fried in hatter and served with raw Tomatoes it can well take the place of meat in 

 Summer and Fall. Did you know that F.gg Plant growing is one of the most profitable crops? 

 Many growers clear from $200 to $500 per acre. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW LARGE PURPLE 



Better variety than New York Purple, large size and high 

 quality of fruit, anil its extreme productiveness makes it the 

 most profitable to grow. Plants large, spreading; foliage light 

 green. Fruit very large, oval or short, pear-shaped; skin deep 

 purple; flesh nearly white. Plants ripen two to six large fruits. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c; 2 oz. 40c; i lb. 75c. 

 BUCKBEE'S NEW WHITE EGG PLANT 



This variety, offered now for the first time, is without a 

 doubt the preferable one by far of all to grow either for market, 

 family or shipping purposes. Produces much larger fruit and 

 is more productive than the New York Purple. The flesh is 

 more tender and flavor more delicate than purple varieties. Do 

 not confound tlu's with Old Large White or other varieties. I 

 control the entire stock. Pkt. 5c; oz. 25c ; 2 oz. 40c; : lb.

TOMATO EGG PLANT 



A very great curiosity. Vine has every appearance of an Egg 

 Plant, but bears a bright red, solid tomato, as shown in the engrav- 

 ing. It yields as high as sixty beautiful tomatoes to a single plant. 

 Do not fail to try this magnificent wonder; it is a gem. Pkt. 5c.

TOMATO EGG PLANT 



NEW GARDEN LEMON 



Certainly one of the greatest novelties of recent introduction. Re- 

 sembles the vine Peach in manner of growth, but is distinct in that 

 the unripe fruit is striped with very dark green spots, nearly black, and 

 when ripe is not russeted like the vine Peach. Fruit of shape shown in 

 illustration, a trifle smaller than vine Peach. Has a finer flesh and most 

 desirable acid flavor, thus dispensing with sliced lemon, which is so im- 

 portant in putting up the vine Peach. Unexcelled for general canning 

 purposes. Cultivate similar to Musk Melons, in hills three feet apart 

 each way. It is such an enormous yielder that it will prove a very 

 profitable crop to grow for market purposes, and will give unbounded 

 satisfaction for all family uses. True stock seed. Pkt. 10c; OZ. 25c. 



THE MANGO MELON, or VEGETABLE PEACH 



Another splendid novelty of late introduction, very striking in color, 

 most wonderful yielder. (See engraving from nature of a single plant 

 in illustration below.) Vines of Garden Lemon and Mango Melon are 

 somewhat smaller than the Musk Melon vine, though requiring same cul- 

 tivation. Fruit is about the size of an Orange, orange shaped, and a 

 bright orange-yellow color, somewhat russeted. For sweet pickles, pies 

 or preserving they are splendid. In the West and Northwest, where 

 fruit is scarce, they are rapidly becoming popular, as they are easily 

 cultivated, enormously productive, and can be used in every way as the 

 Peach, except that they are not quite as sweet. You will certainly be 

 pleased with it. Pkt. 10c. ; OZ. 25c.
