 shape, color, solidity and quality compares favorably with the noted 

 later kinds, and by repeated trials at Rockford Seed'Farms and else- 

 where has demonstrated that it ripens up a larger portion of its crop

 tate to pronounce it the largest, smoothest, best flavored and highest

 to protect the fruit, which is produced in abundant clusters reasonably

THE NEW STONE 



(BUCKBEE'S lAtPROVED STRAIN) 

 The Tomato for a .Main Crop — Choicest Seed. I call this the king 

 of the Livingston kinds, which are the best type of large, smooth, 

 solid, "meaty" Tomatoes. Color fine scarlet, stem set high, core small 

 and shallow, so that little is lost when it is taken out of the fruit be- 

 fore slicing. Pkt4c.;oz. 16c.; 2 oz. 30c.;i-lb. SOc; J lb. 90c.; lb. $1.75.

 cracks. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 16c.; 2 oz. 30c.; i lb. 50c.; ^ lb. 90c.; lb. $1.75.

 ties. Medium size, perfectly smooth and

 please you. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 20c.; 2oz. 35c. ;

MATCHLESS 



This is the best large-fruited standard 

 bright-red Tomato. Our original strain has 

 been critically selected and developed by us 

 lor more than ten years. This selection' has 

 greatly improved the fruit, but greatly re- 

 duced the yield of seed, and our superb 

 strain should not be compared with seed of 

 this variety commonly offered at a low 

 price. Good Size, Splendid Keeper. Pkt. 4c.; 

 oz. 18c.; 2oz. 30c.; i lb. 50c.; i lb. 90c-:

Sew Dwarf Giant. 



BUCKBEE'S REGAL 



EARLY. LARGE, HEAVY, S\\ EET, SMOOTH, ROUND. 

 All the requisites for success are found in this Tomato — the very best. 



In shape Buckbee's Regal is smooth, well formed and extremely 

 deep from stem to blossom, making it unusually heavy. It ripens 

 evenly to the stem, and is without ridges or cracks; it has great 

 mealiness and few seeds. It is firm without being hard, an un- 

 rivaled home Tomato and an unequaled shipper. The vines are 

 vigorous but compact. The joints are short and it always fruits in 

 large clusters at about every second joint, wnich accounts for its 

 wonderful productiveness. It is the heaviest for its size of anv 

 variety, and on account of its brilliant red color, depth and solidity, 

 is one of the handsomest Tomatoes we have ever seen. Pkt. 10c.; 

 i oz. 25c.; oz 40c.; 2 oz. 75c.: i lb. SI. 25; V lb. S2.00; lb. $3.50. 



CHALK'S EARLY JEWELL 



The largest, smoothest, and finest flavored extra early bright 

 red Tomato. Within a week to ten days as early as Spark's Earliana, 

 it is even a heavier cropper, with Tomatoes of a larger size and sweeter 

 flavor, — produced continuously throughout the season. Fruits are 

 very solid and deep through, being almost round or ball-shaped. Skin 

 thin, but sufficiently strong to make it a good shipper. Northern- 

 grown seed. Pkt. Sc.; oz. 35c.; 2 oz. 60c.; i lb. 90c.; i lb. $1.50; 

 lb. $2.50. 



BEAUTY 



I have been perfecting this to a larger, smoother fruit than the 

 original stock, and think I have made it the smoothest and best of he 

 large purple sorts. Vines large, vigorous and heavy bearers; fruit 

 large, uniform, verv smooth: color purplish pink, flesh light pink, excel- 

 lent flavor. Pkt. 3c. ; oz. 16c.; 2 oz. 30c.; i lb. 50c.; i lb. 90c.; lb. $1.75. 



NEW "DWARF GIANT" TOMATO 



THE LARGEST FRUITED OF ALL D\\ ARF TO.HATOES 



The fruits are truly gigantic in size, and are 

 uniformly large throughout the season. In fact, 

 no other Tomato, excepting only the Ponderosa, 

 which is one of its parents, is so large and 

 heavy. The color is a rich purple-crimson and 

 the depth of color is maintained throughout the 

 entire fruit. The skin, while thin and easily 

 removed in peeUng, is sufficiently strong to pro- 

 tect the fruit when shipped to distant markets. 

 The firm, fine-grained fiesh extends to the very 

 center, with no trace whatever of a core. It is 

 entirely free from the sharp acid taste usually 

 found in the dwarf Tomiatoes. The growth of 

 the plant, while dwarf, is very strong and vig- 

 orous; the color of the foliage is a dark healthy 

 green. "Dwarf-Giant" is a m d-season or main- 

 crop Tomato. The fiuits ripen a week to ten 

 davs earlier than Ponderosa and the plants con- 

 tinue to mature the superb, "giant-solid" To- 

 matoes, in abundance until frost. Pkt. lOc; 

 * oz 25c ; oz. ^5c ; 2 oz. 80c ; i lb. SI. 50,
