‘ABRAHAM LINCOLN 
TOMATO 
This famous Tomato was originated on Buckbee’s 
Rockford Seed Farms and named in honor of. Illinois’ 
greatest son, Abraham Lincoln. This giant Tomato 
was first introduced by H. W. Buckbee in 1923 and is 
the largest Tomato we have ever grown. We have had 
as many as 9 Tomatoes in a single cluster with a total 
weight of 7 pounds; the average weight however is 
about a pound, but customers have reported produc- 
ing single fruits weighing nearly 8 pounds. Color, 
beautiful dark red fruits, extra heavy, large, sweet, 
solid and meaty, with very few seeds, and for so large 
a Tomato it is remarkably smooth and free from 
cracks and seams. 



Abraham Lincoln Tomato, while unusually large, 
ripens all the way through the fruit, making it an 
ideal variety for Catsup, Chilli Sauce, Tomato Juice, 
and slicing. It is a very shy seeder; therefore the 
flesh is firm and meaty. 
The plant is a sturdy, healthy grower with distinctive 
bronzy green foliage; it ripens the first fruit immed- 
iately following the ones of the first sort, and con- 
tinues bearing from that time until the plant is killed 
by frost: This variety was originated on H. W. 
Buckbee’s Seed Farm in Rockford, fllinois, and in the 
recent purchase of the “Buckbee” business we secured 
the original stock seed, and offer same to you as long 
as supply remains unsold, at the following special

certain kinds of helpful bacteria called Legume Germs, that are 
able to pump or draw nitrogen from the air and give it to the 
plant. They form on the roots in colonies, looking like lumps 
called nodules, which are really nitrogen storehouses, 
Without these germs, legumes would rob the soil of nourish- 
ment and have a sickly growth. Few soils contain a natural 
supply of these beneficial organisms. It is therefore necessary to 
*¢inoculate’’—apply these nitrogen-gathering germs directly to 
the seed before planting. All Agriculturists recommend inocula- 
tion for legumes.
