R.B. BUCHANAN SEED CO MEMPHIS, TENNESSEE. 
Marglobe 
381— PONDEROSA (88 days)—Fruits are very large, purplish 
crimson in color, solid, meaty, and very sweet. Our selected 
strain of Ponderosa, while not nearly so fine a Tomato as 
Buchanan Brimmer, is less rough and ribbed than the ordi¬ 
nary Ponderosa and is quite popular. It makes fine slices and 
is suited only to home use and local market. 
Pkt., 10c; y 2 oz., 25c; 1 oz., 40c; V\ lb., $1.00; y 2 lb., $1.75; 1 lb., $3.25 
387—BREAK O’DAY (Deep Scarlet) (70 days)—An early type 
of Marglobe. Almost as early as Earliana, but a finer tomato, 
closely resembling Marglobe in shape, depth of fruit, thick¬ 
ness of wall and color, both inside and outside. The fruits 
are of medium size, deep, solid and almost seedless. Break 
O’Day is the development of Dr. Pritchard, of the U. S. De¬ 
partment of Agriculture. It is an important introduction, for 
which a wonderful future is predicted. 
Pkt., 5c; % oz., 20c; 1 oz., 30c; % lb., 75c; y 2 lb., $1.25; 1 lb., $2.25 
390—PRITCHARD (Scarlet Topper) (73 days)—Wilt resistant, 
of the type of plant known as self-topping or self-pruning. 
A little earlier than Marglobe, fruits globe-shaped, deep scar¬ 
let, smooth and solid. A good home and market variety and 
very popular for shipping and canning.

387— A—OXHEART (90 days)—This extraordinary new pink¬ 
ish fruited, main crop Tomato has really large, bulg¬ 
ing fruits which taper almost to a point. The cell structure is 
broken so fruits are heavy and very solid; setting in clusters of 
3 to 7. Vine growth is open and spreading; yield is quite heavy. 
There are comparatively few seeds in this solid and beautifully 
shaped variety. It commands a premium on most retail markets. 
Pkt., 10c; % oz., 25c; 1 oz., 40c; y 4 lb., $1.45; y 2 lb., $2.25; 1 lb., $4.35 
388— LIVINGSTON GLOBE (Purplish Pink) (84 days)—A 
tomato of outstanding merit that ripens just after the very 
early kinds. Always smooth, firm fleshed, and has but few 
seeds. Very productive; the plants have many short joints 
at which clusters of fruits are formed; they are borne freely 
all over the vine. The globe shape allows more slices from 
each fruit than other varieties. A remarkably good keeper, 
and even when picked quite green, it ships well and colors 
up handsomely.

tomatoes. The fruits are very smooth, uniform in size, nearly 
globe-shaped.

est of all tomatoes. Single tomatoes weighing 3 pounds and 18 
inches around have been grown by training to a single stem. 
It must be staked. The Brimmer has no core, very few seeds, 
is solid and nearly all meat.

BUCHANAN’S TOMATO SEEDS 
CULTURE—Six or eight weeks before frost is over, sow % 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. 
Maturity estimated from time plants set in field.

393— MARGLOBE (Wilt Resistant) (79 days)—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 characteris¬ 
tics of each. It is a valuable addition for wilt resistance, the 
Popular Globe shape, scarlet color, a good cropper, marketer 
and shipper. Marglobe simply leaped into popularity for 
the main tomato in wilt territories—the best all-round variety.

Market was developed out of the Early Detroit. The vines are 
very vigorous and withstand blight exceptionally well. The 
fruits are large, round or globe shaped, show but little de¬ 
pression about the 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.

dry seasons we have grown tomatoes of unusual size. The 
fruits are practically all meat.
