MORE OF THE EXCELLENT VARIETIES THAT HAVE 

 MADE THE BUCKBEE "FULL OF LIFE " SEEDS FAMOUS 



BUCKBEE'S MONARCH WHITE SPINE 



After being tried throughout 

 the entire country this variety has 

 not been found wanting in any 

 single point. I am confident that 

 it will always hold the highest 

 position, being of handsome 

 growth, good length, very early 

 and prolific, extremely produc- 

 tive, quite hardy and retains its 

 light green color permanently 

 after being picked. Always of 

 delicious flavor and unusually ten- 

 der and crisp. Superior for pick- 

 ling purposes.

IMPROVED LONG GREEN 



My own carefully and specially 

 selected stock. Vines vigorous 

 and highly productive, with fruit 

 ready for the table almost as early 

 as the shorter varieties. Fruit 

 matures to about 12 inches. This 

 is a variety that holds its own as 

 the years go by. Fine for pickles 

 when young.

variety.

 for slicing when mature. Crisp, tender.

BUCKBEE'S NEW ALASKA 



Beautiful in shape and color and of the finest quality. An entirely new 

 and distinct sort developed by myself through very careful selection, aim- 

 ing to secure the best pos- 

 sible table Cucumber. The 

 vine is vigorous and pro- 

 ductive and comes into full 

 bearing very early. 



The fruit is of splendid 

 size, with very white, crisp 

 and tender flesh. Also an 

 excellent sort for culture 

 under glass.

THORBURN'S NEW EVERBEARING 



The merit of this variety is in the fact that the vines produce fruit con- 

 tinuously until killed by frosts. They exhibit at the same time Cucumbers 



in every stage of growth, but invariably of perfect form, even when quite 

 small. The fruit is of fine green color and very desirable for pickling.

THE WILD CUCUMBER VTNE 



The quickest climber for arbors, trellises, fences, known. Makes the most 



mosaic covering. Never 

 suffers from the heat, 

 but retains its fresh 

 and lively green colors, 

 and what is of prime 

 importance, is not per- 

 ceptibly affected by 

 warm or cold, hot or 

 dry weather, and is 

 never infested with in- 

 sects. Profuse in 

 bloom. It will sow it- 

 self and come up every 

 year in the same place. 

 The Wild Cucumber 

 Vine is one of the old 

 time favorites and it 

 deserves all the good 

 that is thought of it. 

 Added to its rapid 

 growth is the density 

 of the foliage. Sure to 

 please you. 



Pkt. 5c; oz. 15c. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW EXTRA EARLY LONG GREEN 



Produced by selection from Long Green. Vines vigorous and 

 productive, forming fruit fit for the table 

 nearly as early as the shorter sorts. 

 Fruit grows about 12 inches long, firm 

 and crisp. The young fruit makes the 

 best pickles, and when ripe are pref- 

 erable to any for sweet pickles. I offer 

 a carefully selected strain, uniformly long 

 and of good form, with the large warts it 

 and spines well distributed over the sur- # 

 face, instead of being clustered at one end. j |

SNOW'S EARLY FICKLE 



This Cucumber, selected by a noted 

 pickle grower, is undoubtedly a very high 

 type of pickle. It has been highly tried 

 and the results in all cases have been im- 

 mensely satisfactory. Those who are al- 

 ready growing pickle Cucumbers for the 

 market, or who contemplate doing so, 

 cannot make a mistake if they grow 

 Snow's Early. It will give satisfaction 

 beyond all doubt and prove a money 

 making investment.

 merit. Late variety, producing crisp and 

 tender fruit, splendid for pickling or table 

 use. Fine sort for growing under glass.
