BUCKBEE'S KING OF THE MAMMOTHS 



Wonderfully prand and colossal variety, aslonishing everyone by its mammoth size and heavy 

 weight. Think "of it — a single Pumpkin weighing 469 poundsl Many of iny customers saw this speci- 

 men on exhibition at the World's Fair. King of the Mammoths is always a prize winner at fairs and 

 exhibitions. Nothwithstanding its enormous size, it is one of the best pie and table varieties grown. 

 A splendid keeper, and exceptionally valuable for feeding pun'oses. I control the complete slock of 

 this variety. Send to Buckbec for true stock seed. I do not save seed from specimens weighing less 

 than 200 pounds. Pkt. 10c. ; oz. 20c.; 2 oz. 35c.; 3i' lb. 60c.; y, lb. $1.10; lb. $2.00. 



HOW TO GROW MAMMOTH PUMPKINS 



Plant In rich soil three to four .seeds in a hill; make hills twelve to fifteen feet apart 

 eacli way. When the plants have a fair start cut weakest so as to leave one or two 

 of 1 he strongest plants in each hill. As t he vines develop and flower and small Pump- 

 kins come in turn, remove all but one of the best young Pumpkins on each vine. 

 By doing this the full strength of each vine will go into one Pumpkin and produce a 

 large specimen. 



^EW WINTER LUXURY 



This 1 recommend as one of the best Pie Pumpkins. An excellent keeper and 

 enormously productive. It is very finely netted, and in color it is a golden russet. 

 Pkt. 4c.: oz. 8c.; 2 oz. 15c.; U lb. 25c.; ' i lb. 40c.; lb. 76c. 



QUAKER PIE 



This comes from Washington County, New York. It is both hardy and pro- 

 ductive, and can be depended on to make a crop when others fail. Especially valu- 

 able for pies, being fine grained and 

 of rich flavor, having none of the 

 stringy nature common to so many 

 varieties. It is early and keeps late. 

 It is oval-shaped and tapers at each 

 end, is of cream color botli inside and 

 out. Users of this strain are enthu- 

 siastic in their praises, and invariably 

 speak well of it. Pkt. 4c.; oz. 8c.; 

 2 oz. 15c.; H lb. 25c.; ^ lb. 40c.; lb. 75c. 



BUCKBEE'S NEW SANDWICH ISLAND PUMPKIN 



It affords me sreat pleasure to present to you this new Pumpkin Novelty. My customers 

 have found it to have exceptional merit and fully up to their highest expectations. Coming from 

 a remote section of the Sandwich Islands — where by chance my representative found it — it has 

 created a great furore in its new home. Remarkably distinct in every way, of fine size, very 

 prohfic bearer, and dehciously thick flesh. An excellent keeper, I nave placed the price of 

 seeds within the reach of all. Order early before my supply is exhausted. Choicest seed of my 

 own growth. Pkt. 5c.; oz. 15c. 2 oz. 25c.; U lb. 35c.; M lb- 60c. lb. $1.00. 



CASHAW or CROOKNECK

 20c.; 3 o lb. 35c.; lb. 60c. 



NEW CALHOUN 



Extraordinary fine variety, heavy and solid, very productive and of excellent quality. Out- 

 side is a rich cream color, flesh' salmon yellow, very thick, fine grained and of superior quality. 

 One of the very best for general purposes. Pkt. 4c.; 

 oz. Sc.; 2 oz. 14c.; H lb. 20c.; ^ lb. 35c.; lb. eOc. 



NEW JAPANESE PIE PUMPKIN 



The small illustration correctly shows the shape and ex- 

 tremely small seed cavity — all the balance being solid meat 

 throughout, which is of extra fine quality. The seeds are 

 distinct in appearance, being curiously sculptured in the 

 same manner as Japanese letters. It is a very productive 

 variety, the Pumpkins ripen early, of medium size, good 

 keepers and weigh 15 to 20 pounds each. As to quality, 

 one enthusiastic grower says: "The flesh is a rich, salmon, 

 unusually fine grained, and when cooked or stewed is al- 

 most as dry and mealy as a sweet potato. For making 

 pies, custards, etc., they certainly have no equal. Con- 

 taining but little water, can easily be cut and dried like 

 dried apples, and make excellent pies or sauce for winter use. 

 We venture to say that pies made from the Japanese Pump- 

 kin, without eggs, are fully as good as pies made from any 

 other variety when eggs are used." Pkt. 4c.; oz. Sc.; 2 oz. 

 15c.; lb. 26c.; M lb. 40c.; lb. 75c.

TENNESSEE SWEET POTATO 



A magnificent pear-shaped variety of fine size, a httie ribbed; color creamy white, 

 sometimes striped with green. Has no superior for making pies and custards; when 

 cooked it has somewhat the appearance of sweet potatoes, but of more delicious taste. 

 Flesh thick, creamy white, remarkably fine grained, dry and brittle, hardy and pro- 

 ductive, and keeps perfectly sound until late in the spring. A grand favorite where-
