R.B. BUCHANAN SEED CQ 
MEMPHIS. TENNESSEE. 
Buchanan’s Tomato Seeds 
CULTURE—Six or eight weeks before frost is over, bow 14 inch deep in hot¬ 
beds, in pots or shallow boxes in the house, and when they have made 4 
leaves transplant to boxes or pots to promote root growth. Expose as much 
as possible to harden them so that, when set out in the open ground, they will 
be strong and stocky, but do not allow the growth to be checked. Transplant 3 
to 4 feet apart in a light, warm soil, and shade them a few days until they 
are well rooted. One ounce makes about 1,500 plants; 4 ounces will make 
plants for an acre. 
FOR FIELD PLANTING—Set plants 3 feet apart in rows 4 feet apart, require 
3,600 plants to acre. 
393— MARGLOBE (Newest Wilt Resistant)—Main crop, scarlet- 
fruited variety, originated by the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture for 
wilt resistance. It is claimed to be also resistant to “nail-head 
rust” which attacks tomato fruits. Fruits are of medium size, 
smooth, solid and deep from stem to blossom ends. They are set 
in clusters of 5 to 7 on vines with medium to heavy growth. Cell 
structure is irregular. It is a cross between Marvel and Globe and 
really has retained the best characteristics of each except perhaps 
it is not quite as solid as the Globe. It is a valuable addition for 
wilt resistance, the Popular Globe shape, scarlet color, a good 
cropper, marketer and shipper. Marglobe simply leaped into pop¬ 
ularity for the main crop tomato in wilt territories—the best all¬ 
round variety.

385—NORTON WILT-RESISTANT (Red)—Norton was developed 
from the Stone, which ripens at the same season, and can be 
classed as a wilt-resistant Stone, but a more abundant bearer 
and the fruits are more solid. It yields a heavy crop of large, 
smooth, solid red fruits that ripen slowly; therefore is a good 
keeper. Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 20c; oz., 30c; *4 lb., 90c; lb., $2.75 
384—NORDUKE WILT-RESISTANT (Red)—The Norduke repre¬ 
sents the best effort of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture in wilt- 
resistant tomatoes. Not as late as Norton, and makes large, 
smooth, red fruits that are borne in great abundance. It ripens 
more quickly than Norton, so does not ship as well, but is a 
fine tomato for the home garden and for canning. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 20c; oz., 30c; % lb., 75c; lb., $2.50 
394— GULF STATE MARKET WILT-RESISTANT—We believe the 
Gulf State Market will, before many years, be the chief purple- 
fruited market variety grown in the Gulf States. Gulf State Mar¬ 
ket was developed out of the Early Detroit, and retains the 
earliness of that variety. The vines are very vigorous and with¬ 
stand blight exceptionally well. The fruits are large for so early 
a variety, round or globe shaped, show but little depression about 
stem and are smooth and free from cracks. Color, deep purplish- 
pink, ripening well about the stem. The skin is firm and the 
flesh is solid. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 20c; oz., 35c; % lb., 90c; lb., $3.00 
391—BUCK BRAND TOMATO WILT-RESISTANT (Pink)—One of 
the very best early tomatoes yet introduced. The vines are vigor¬ 
ous and very productive. The fruits are deep pink, nearly round 
or somewhat flattened, smooth, of large size and most excel¬ 
lent quality. They ripen very early and the pickings continue 
through a long season. One of the very best early pink 
fruited sorts, and of excellent quality and productiveness. 
Pkt., 5c; 14 oz., 20c; oz., 35c; 14 lb., 90c; lb., $3.00 
377—BUCHANAN’S BEEFSTEAK (Pink)—Is without doubt 
the largest, meatiest and finest flavored tomato in cultiva¬ 
tion, and is less acid than most varieties. The plants are 
healthy and luxuriant, quite blight-resistant and continuous 
and abundant bearers. They are so vigorous that even in 
dry seasons we have grown tomatoes of unusual size. The 
fruits are practically all meat. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 oz -> 25c; oz., 40c; 14 lb., $1.00; lb., $3.00 
381—BUCHANAN’S PONDEROSA (Purple)—The color is 
purple crimson. It is the largest tomato in cultivation, the 
heaviest, and in addition to these two splendid features it 
is delicious in flavor. Shape is rather regular, considering 
its immense size, and makes a splendid slicing variety, 
having few seeds. 
Pkt., 10c; 14 oz., 30c; oz., 50c; 14 lb., $1.25; lb., $4.25 
375—EARLY ACME (Purplish pink)—The vines are large, 
hardy and productive, ripening their first fruits very early, 
although not an extra early variety. The fruits are purplish 
pink, round, smooth and of medium size, free from cx - acks 
and stand shipment very well. Acme is also used extensively 
for the home garden.
