BUCKBEE'S ALL-RELIABLE TOMATO SEED 



BUCKBEE'S EARLIEST MABKET. 



Bncbbee's Earliest Market— A variety bearing fruit which in size, Bhape, color, solidity and quality compares favorably with the noted later 

 binds, and by repeated trials at Eockford Seed Farms and elsewhere, has demonstrated that it ripens np 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 

 Bnckbee's Earliest Market. We do not hesitate to pronounce it the largest, smoothest, best flavored and highest colored extra early Tomato. Vine medium 

 Bize, leaved just enough to protect the fruit, which is produced in abundant clusters reasonably low down on the stem and ripening all together. Thosa 

 who deBire a variety of this description, either for family or market purposes, will find this variety what they want. Pkt. 10c; K oz. 20c; oz. 35c; 

 3 oz. 60c; H lb. Sl.OO; Klb. 81. 75; lb. S3.00. 



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



A variety introduced by ns, and we believe the best table Tomato, at least as far as quality Is concerned. Vine medium Bize, but vigorous, healthy and 

 productive. Although not represented as a first early sort, many of our customers report thatthey 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 6:r.ed, ovel, very smooth and of exceedingly bright, crimson Bcarlet 

 color; very free from cracks, and rotting but little. The flesh is of a crimson scarlet color, quite dictinct. It is r.1-0 onoof 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 homo use and for market, but one of the best canning 

 Tomatoes. Pkt. 5c; oz. 30c; g oz. 35c; K lb. COc; K lb. gl.lO; lb. 83.00. 



MATCHLESS— This is the best large-fruited standard 

 bright-red tomato. Our original strain lias Men critically selected 

 and developed by us for more than ten years. H'e are careful each sea- 

 son to save seed only from fine, large fruits which are solidly meaty. 

 This selection has vastly improved the fruit, but greatly reduced tie 

 yield of seed, and our superb strain should not be compared with seed of 

 this variety commonly offered at a lovr price. Besides being of such large 

 size and handsome appearance, it is of very superior flavor. Select seed 

 is verv scarce this year— send to Buchbcc for the best. Per Pkt. 4c.; 

 oz. 20c; 3 oz. 35c; 1-4 lb. 60c; 1-2 lb. CI. 10; lb. $^.00. 



HONOR BRIGHT.— This is a most distinct variety. The toma- 

 toes at first are white, turning to light yellow, and then to brilliant sear- 

 let as they become fully ripened. They are very solid, and it is an excel- 

 lent bearing variety. It is already quite largely plantei in the South, 

 where the fruits are gathered before turning to scarlet, and are so 

 extremely solid that they are shipped to the northern markets in barrels, 

 ripening "well upon arrival. Fruits of medium size, smooth and rcrralar 

 in form. Per Pkt. 4c; oz. 20c; 3 oz. 35c; 1-4 lb. 60c; 1-2 lb. 

 $1.10; lb. $2.00. 



Buckbee's Self-Supporting 



TOMATOES. 



PARTICULARLY characterized by their upright 

 growth, and eclipsing all others in productive- 

 ness. The uniform price of each of the follow- 

 ing varieties 13: 

 Pkt. 10c; 1-2 oz. 25c; oz. 40c; 2 oz. 75c; 

 1-4 lb. $1.25. 



BUCKBEE'S COUNTY FAIR. 



ThiB magnificent sort of my own introduction 

 certainly is in the lead of all other Tomatoes. Par- 

 ticularly distinguished by their upright growth, 

 never requiring any support, but always standing up 

 like a tree. Inform and color the fruit resembles 

 the Acme; it is always symmetrical and attractive in 

 appearance; the skin tough and the flesh solid; ripens 

 woll. 



BUCKBEE'S STATE FAIR. 



Another self-supporting novelty. Foliage resem- 

 bles Buckbeo*s County Fair and might bo taken for 

 this variety if it were not for the color of its boauti* 

 fill, glossy red fruit, preferred in many localitios to 

 the purple or rose colored variotios. Its clze, solidity, 

 productiveness, smoothness, flavor of its f rcit, etc., 

 is unexcelled either for market, family or shipping. 



BUCKBEE'S WORLD'S FAIR 



Still another wonderful 6ort, in every way similar 

 to the above varieties, differing only in the color of 

 the f rnit, which is a beautiful golJcn yellow shade, 

 the richest shade by far yet attained by any variety. 

 The superior flavor of the yellow varieties is bring- 

 ing 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, 

 beaut iful sort, it being the best of the yellow varie- 

 ties, and of a fine and distinct flavor.
