SQUASH 



BUCKBEE VARIETIES 

 OF SUPERIOR WORTH 



CHILIAN GIANT 

 The Heavyweight of the Squash Family 



CHILIAN GIANT 



The Largest of All. I can 



justly chum to have the best 

 strain of this variety in the 

 market; certainly there is no 

 better. Rather flat at both 

 ends. Single specimens have 

 grown to the enormous weight 

 of 300 pounds. Outer color a 

 rich orange yellow; flesh very 

 thick and of rich yellow color; 

 quality good, very nutritious, 

 making it exceptionally valu- 

 able for all family and market 

 purposes. Its size makes it 

 profitable to grow for stock 

 feeding also. Pkt. 4c; oz. 

 15c; 2 oz. 25c; ; lb. 40c; 

 i lb. 75c; lb. $1.36. 



NEW FORDHOOK 



Fine Winter variety of recent introduction. Color bright yellow 

 shade outside and lighter shade inside; flesh dry and sweet and keeps 

 perfectly sound until Spring. It is a strong, rapid grower and immensely 

 productive. The meat it thick and delicious. Pkt. 4c; oz. 8c; 2 OZ. 

 15c ; J lb. 28c ; J lb. 55c ; lb. $1.00. 



CHICAGO WARTED 

 HUBBARD 



The Leader in Many Mar- 

 kets. Our strain of the above will 

 produce what we consider the Ideal 

 Hubbard for home or for market. 

 For thirty or forty years this Squash 

 has ranked first for a winter keeper. NEW FORDHOOK 



It is shipped thousands of miles in car-load lots from West to East 

 every year. With the growing of it in a large way it was found that 

 the largest, heaviest, dark, rough-skinned specimens are most valuable 

 and most salable. Choicest stock seed of our own growing. Send to 

 Buckbee for the best seed. Pkt. 4c; oz. 8c; 2 oz. 15c; i lb. 

 28c; i lb. 50c; lb. 90c 



NEW GOLDEN HUBBARD 



Justly Popular Wherever and Whenever Grown 



This is a True Hubbard Squash, Except in Color, which is 

 Bright Golden. The vine is a vigorous, but not rampant, grower, and 

 wonderfully productive, expending the energy derived from liberal fer- 

 tilizing in the production of an increased number rather than of over- 

 grown and coarse frurts, as some varieties are apt to do. It ripens its 

 crop very early and uniformly, thus making it a certain cropper. The 



fruits are very uniform in size, 

 weighing from six to eight 

 pounds, and in shape are like the 

 Hubbard. Though maturing 

 early they are wonderfully long 

 keepers, so they can be held over 

 in good condition for Spring use. 

 The shell is warty, hard and 

 strong, and a very beautiful 

 orange red color, except for a bit 

 of olive green on the blossom end. 

 The flesh is a deep orange, and 

 uniformly so to the rind, never 

 having the green tinge so objec- 

 tionable in other sorts. It cooks 

 very dry, fine grained and good 

 flavored. We believe this is the 

 best Fall and Winter sort yet 

 introduced, and that it deserves 

 to and will become a most popular variety. It certainly has no superior 

 as a table Squash. Send to Buckbee for the best seed. Pkt. 5c; 

 oz. 8c; 2 oz. 15c; i lb. 28c; $ lb. 55c; lb. $1.00. 



NEW GOLDEN HUBBARD 



BUCKBEE'S IMPROVED HUBBARD 



Famous American Standard Winter Squash 



The Grand Old Favorite. This is a superior selection of this fa- 

 mous variety, and one of the best Winter Squashes. Flesh bright orange 

 yellow, fine grained, 

 very dry, sweet and 

 rich flavored. Keeps 

 perfectly good 

 throughout the Win- 

 ter. Boils or bakes 

 exceedingly dry, and 

 is esteemed by many 

 to be as good baked 

 as a Sweet Potato. 

 Our stock is most 

 carefully selected 

 with regard to qual- 

 ity of the flesh and 

 color and wartiness 

 of the shell, but the 

 latter peculiarities 

 are largely deter- 

 mined by the soils in 

 which the Squashes 

 are raised. Our cus- 

 tomers can plant this 

 variety in perfect

FAXON'S NEW 

 BRAZILIAN 



It is remarkably prolific in 

 habit; quality dry and rich, with- 

 out regard to the size, coloring or 

 time of ripening of the fruit — 

 something entirely different in 

 this respect from any other Squash. 

 Its valuable points are earlmess, 

 long-keeping and high table 

 qualities. We are recommend- 

 ing it to all for general use in the 

 home garden. Pkt. 4c; OZ. 8c; 

 2 oz. 15c; \ lb. 28c; i lb. 50c;

FAXON'S NEW BRAZILIAN 



EARLY PROLIFIC ORANGE MARROW 



Its distinctive feature, and the one which gives it the greatest and 

 most widespread popularity, is its earliness. It is at least ten days 

 earlier than any other long-keeping sort. It grows as large as the Hub- 

 bard, and is of a good quality. It is in season from September to Jan- 

 uary, and is the most salable kind during that time in the market. 

 This is owing to its smooth and handsome shape, good size and creamy 

 orange skin. We know that it will satisfy all. Pkt. 3c ; OZ. 7c. ; 2 OZ. 

 12c; i lb. 20c; i lb. 35c; lb. 60c. 



BOSTON MARROW 



A desirable Fall and Winter variety, very popular everywhere. Of 

 oval form; skin thin; when ripe bright orange mottled with light cream 

 color; flesh rich salmon yellow, fine grained, and for sweetness and ex- 

 cellence unsurpassed. We have an unusually good stock of this sort. 

 Pkt. 4c; oz. 7c; 2 oz. 12c; i lb. 22c; i lb. 40c; lb. 70c.
