BUCKBEE'S EARLIEST MARKET 



A variety bearing fruit which in size, shape, color, solidity and quality compares favorably with the noted later kinds, and by repeated trials at 

 Rockford Seed Farms and elsewhere, has demonstrated that it ripens up a larger portion of its crop the earliest of any variety. Earliest Good 

 Tomato. Gardeners and Tomato fanciers will readily see the advantage obtained over their competitors by growing Buckbee's Earliest Market. 

 We do not hesitate to pronounce it the largest, smoothest, best flavored and highest colored extra early Tomato. Vine medium size, leaved just 

 enough to protect the fruit, which is produced in abundant clusters, reasonably low down on the stem and ripening all together. Those who 

 desire a varietv of this description, either for family or market purposes, will find this variety what they want. Pkt. 10c; i OZ. 20c; OZ. 35c. 

 2 oz. 60c; i lb. $1.00; i lb. $1.75; lb. $3.00. 



BUCKBEE'S SPOT. CASH-The Latest Success in Tomatoes 



A variety introduced by us, and we believe the best table Tomato, at least as far as quality is concerned. Vine medium size, but vigorous, 

 healthy and productive. Although not represented as a first early sort, many of our customers report that they have obtained ripe fruit from this 

 as early as from any sort, and it proves to be one of the best varieties known for forcing. Fruit medium sized, oval, very smooth and of exceed- 

 ingly bright, crimson scarlet color; very free from cracks, and rotting but little. The flesh is of a crimson scarlet color, quite distinct. It is also 

 one of the best in flavor, and ■entirely free from the hard spots found in so many others. The Spot Cash is not only one of the best for home use 

 and for market, but one of the best canning Tomatoes. Pkt. 5c; OZ. 20c; 2 oz. 35c; i lb. 60c; * lb. $1.10; lb. $2.00.

 Hard to beat for home use. Color purplish pink. Fruit smooth, sym- 

 metrical, solid and meaty. A deservedly great favorite. Those who

 itable, the compact growth of the young plants commending them to

MATCHLESS 



This Is the best large-fruited standard bright-red Tomato. 



Our original strain has been critically selected and developed by us for 

 more than ten years. This selection has vastly improved the fruit, but 

 greatly reduced the yie.d of seed, and our superb strain should not be 

 compared with seed of this varietv commonly offered at a low price. 

 Pkt. 4c; oz. 18c; 2 oz. 30c; i lb. 50c; \ lb. 90c; lb. $1.75.

 SELF - SUPPORTING 



BUCKBEE'S SELF-SVPPORT1KG TOMATOES 



TOMATOES 



PARTICULARLY characterized by their upright growth, and eclipsing all others in 

 productiveness. The uniform price of each of the following varieties is: 

 Pkt. 10c; 1 oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 2 oz. 75c; } lb. $1.25. 



BUCKBEE'S WORLD'S FAIR 



A wonderful sort. Color of the fruit is a beautiful golden yellow shade, the richest 

 shade by far yet attained by any variety. The superior flavor of the yellow varieties is 

 bringing them'into favor as table" fruit, and those who think of the Yellow Tomato as the 

 rough fruit of the old yellow sort will be surprised at this smooth, beautiful sort, it being 

 the best of the yellow varieties, and of a fine and distinct flavor. 



BUCKBEE'S COUNTY FAIR 

 This magnificent sort of my own introduction certainly is in the lead of all other To- 

 matoes. Particularly distinguished by their upright growth, never requiring any support, 

 but always standing up like a tree. In form and color the fruit resembles the Acme: it is 

 always symmetrical and attractive in appearance; the skin tough and the flesh solid; npens 

 well. 



BUCKBEE'S STATE FAIR 

 Another self-supporting novelty. Foliage resembles Buckbee's County Fail and might 

 be taken for this variety if it were not for the color of its beautiful, glossy red fruit, preferred 

 in manv localities to the purple or rose colored varieties. Its size, solidity, productiveness, 

 smoothness, flavor of its fruit, etc., is unexcelled either for market, family or shipping.
