The  most  serious  as  well  as  the  most  unprofitable  investment  for 
the  market  gardener  is  the  sowing  of  spurious  seeds. 

Over  Thirty  flillion  Dollars  worth  of  Garden  Seeds  are  annually  sold 
in  this  country,  one=ha!f  of  which  are  worthless  either 
from  old  age  or  spurious  stocks.

This  is  the  73rd  Year  for  Buist’s  Garden  Seeds. 


Philadelphia,  January  1,  1901. 

This  Wholesale  Catalogue  is  published  exclusively  for  our  Market  Garden  Trade,  who  requires 
saed-s  in  much  larger  quantities  than  those  who  grow  for  their  own  requirements  ; the  latter  are  re- 
ferred to  Buist’s  Garden  Guide  for  1901  a very  useful  and  valuable  publication,  which  gives  a month- 
ly calendar  of  operations  for  the  garden  and  other  useful  information  for  the  Amateur.  Our  special- 
ty is  the  growing  of  seeds  from  selected  seed  stock,  the  great  importance  of  following  this  system 
for  the  production  of  choice  vegetables  is  familiar  to  all  gardeners;  if  the  vegetables  from  which 
seeds  are  grown  are  inferior  or  impure,  so  will  the  product  be.

Buist's  Early  Morning  Star  Pea. 


THE  EARLIEST  PEA  IN  THE  WORLD. 

Tile  most  Profitable  market  Variety,  Ready  to  Pick  in  42  to  45  Days. 

"We  are  the  introducers  of  this  Celebrated  Variety,  and  put  them  up  in  Green  Muslin  Sacks 
)f  L and  1 bushel,  and  Each  Sack  is  fastened  with  our  Lead  Seal  with  the  name  o/Buist  stamped 

on  it.  Seed  of  this  variety  offered  in  any  other  way  is  Spurious  stock. 


WE  SELL  OVER  10,000  BUSHELS  ANNUALLY. 

Where  earliness,  productiveness,  large-sized  pods  and  sweetness  of  flavor  are  desired,  this  it 
the  variety  to  grow  ; it  may  be  truly  called  the  Blooded  Stock  of  Extra  Earlies,  and  stands  at  the 
head,  of  the  list  for  the  above  fine  qualities  ; in  a favorable  season  they  will  be  ready  for  market  in  42 
days,  and  the  entire  crop  can  be  taken  off  in  two  pickings . 

To  the  market  gardener,  earliness  is  of  the  greatest  importance,  as  even  a few  days  frequently 
makes  a great  difference  in  price,  often  a depreciation  of  from  $2.00  to  $4  00  per  barrel;  the  inex- 
perienced find  this  out  when  too  late  ; therefore  the  Earliest  is  what  is  Required,  and  the  Early 
Morning  Star  is  that  variety.  Sow  them,  you  will  make  no  mistake.  We  An- 
nually grow  500  Acres  Of  them.  It  was  introduced  by  us  in  * 87  and  sold  that  year  two 
thousand  bushels,  and  each  year  the  demand  for  them  has  annually  increased  ; they  have  been  the 
first  Peas  shipped  North  from  the  great  pea  growing  districts  of  Florida,  Louisiana,  Mississippi  and 
North  Carolina,  since  *88  which  can  be  readily  attested  to  by  the  growers  in  those  sections,  and  in  New 
Jersey  and  Long  Island  where  thousands  of  acres  of  them  are  annually  grown,  they  have  attained  the 
same  reputation  for  both  earliness  and  productiveness.  Their  growth  ranges  from  two  to  two  and  a 
half  feet,  in  accordance  with  the  season,  they  are  entirely  free  from  runners  and  never  require  sticking ; 
it  is  an  easy  variety  to  pick  as  almost  a handful  can  be  grasped  at  a time. 

PLEASE  OBSERVE  that  the  true  stock  of  the  Morntng  Star  can  only  be  had  through  our 
house  or  from  the  Merchants  who  handle  our  Seeds. 

We  insert  this  caution  from  the  fact  that  a variety  sold  the  past  season  by  a Philadelphia  firm 
under  this  name,  proved  to  be  nothing  but  an  ordinary  variety  full  of  runners  and  ten  days  later  than 
the  genuine  stock  ; its  great  popularity  has  caused  a great  demand  for  them. 

Therefore  in  purchasing  be  sure  you  get  them  in  our  Green  Muslin  Sacks  which  are  lead  sealed 
by  us,  you  will  then  be  certain  of  securing  the  correct  stock.  B^’Those  offered  under  this  name  in  any 
other  way  are  spurious.

MARKET  GARDENERS’  WHOLESALE  PRICE  LIST. 


Buist’s  Premier  Extra  Early  Pea. 


The  Earliest,  Most  Productive  and  most  Profitable  Variety  for  Market 
(Excepting  the  Celebrated  Buist’s  Morning  Star.) 


Before  the  introduction  of  the  famous  Morning  Star,  this  was  the  earliest  and  most  profitable 
Variety  known  ; and  to-day  requires  no  comment  from  us  to  recommend  it,  as  it  is  grown  more 
largely  by  the  market  gardeners  of  this  country  than  any  other  brand  of  Extra  Earlies,  excepting 
the  Buist’s  Morning  Star.  Its  productiveness,  earliness,  eveness  of  ripening  and 
great  delicacy  of  flavor  are  its  great  features ; these  combined  requisites  makes  it 
very  profitable  to  grow  for  either  market  or  private  use  ; it  is  a week  earlier  than  what  is  called 
u The  First  and  Best  ” and  of  a much  finer  bred  variety  ; producing  pods  of  large  size  and  entirely 
free  from  runners  ; it  ripens  uniformly  and  the  entire  crop  can  be  taken  off  in  two  pickings.  It 
\a  also  one  of  the  very  best  varieties  for  canning  purposes.,  It  is  sold  only  under  our  seal,

Lightning  Early  Valentine  Beans. 

THE  BEST  EARLY  MARKET  VARIETY. 


(10  to  12  days  earlier  than  any  other  Valentine.) 
(Sold  only  in  our  Sealed  Sacks.) 

This  recently  introduced  variety  which  has  become  famous  in  all  the  Bean-growing  sections 
of  our  country,  is  well  named,  as  it  is  lightning  in  ripening  m comparison  with  any  other  stock  of 
this  popular  Bean.  The  pods  are  large  and  round,  is  very  productive,  and  when  young  entirely 
s^ringless.  It  cannot  be  recommended  too  highly  to  the  market  gardener,  as  he  derives  his  great- 
est profit  from  the  earliest  crops,  and  this  surpasses  all  other  stocks  of  Valentines  in  both  earlmeas 
and  productiveness.  It  is  sold  only  in  our  sealed  packages  and  lead-sealed  sacks. 

Price— X bushel,  $1.75  ; X bushel,  $3  00;  1 bushel,  $5.50;  5 bushels,  at  $5.25; 

10  bushels,  at  $5.00.

DWARF  BUTTER  WAX  BEAN,  BISMARCK. 


THE  CREAM  OF  ALL  THE  WAX  VARIETIES.  (RUST-PROOF.) 


This  celebrated  variety,  which  we  introduced  a few  years  since,  is  one  of  the  most  attractive 
and  famous  varieties  of  Wax  Beans  known  in  Germany  ; its  great  beauty,  and  extraordinary  length 
of  pods,  attracted  our  attention  in  the  markets  of  Berlin  in  ’87 ; we  found  them  in  quality  so  far 
superior  to  any  variety  of  the  Wax  that  we  had  ever  tasted  that  we  secured  sufficient  for  seed  pur- 
poses for  that  year,  and  have  since  then  grown  them  very  extensively;  they  cannot  be  recom- 
mended too  highly  to  all  lovers  of  the  Butter  Bean.  They  are  very  early,  the  pods  of  which  arc 
produced  in  great  profusion,  and  will  average  six  inches  in  length,  are  almost  transparent,  exceed- 
ingly brittle  aud  of  very  delicate  flavor  ; the  bean  when  dry  is  of  a beautiful  blueish  black  color 
and  of  a k:dney  shape.  Price,  Y bushel,  $1.50;  Yz  bushel,  $3.00;  1 bushel,  $5.50. 


0WARF  SPECKLED  KI0NEY  WAX  BEAN. 


We  regard  this  bean  as  one  of  the  verv  best  of  the  Wax  varieties,  even  surpassing  the  famous 
Dwarf  Golden  or  Cream  Wax  in  both  quality  aud  productiveness,  and  is  a grand  market  sort  ; the 
plants  become  literally  loaded  with  long  beautiful  waxy  colored  pods,  which  are  entirely  stringless,, 
and  of  a rich  luscious  flavor,  it  is  also  quite  as  early  as  the  earliest  stock  of  Valentines.  The  pods 
ire  very  long,  broad  and  flat,  and  are  exceedingly  brittle;  beans,  when  dry,  are  white,  with  two 
rfiades  of  reddish  purple,  more  or  less  visible,  of  a distinct  kidney  shape.  We  cannot  recommend 
it  too  highly  for  either  market  or  family  use.  Price,  Y bushel,  $1.75;  1 bushel,  $6.00  ; 5 bushels,  at 
$5.75;  10  bushels  at  $5.50.

BUIST'S  PERFECTION  EARLY  WHITE  SPINE  CUCUMBER. 


The  Market  Gardeners  first 
and  most  important  consideration 
in  growing  Cucumbers  for  market 
is  to  obtain  the  choicest  seed  stock 
for  planting.  Most  of  the  crops 
grown  are  very  much  mixed  and  of 
inferior  quality.  Buist’s  Perfection 
is  regarded  by  growers  as  the  finest 
and  purest  stock  known.  It  is  not 
only  the  earliest,  but  it  produces 
cucumbers  of  the  finest  form  and 
most  salable  size  for  shipping  pur- 
poses. It  was  introduced  by  us  a 
few  years  since,  and  is  already 
being  grown  by  the  most  extensive 
cucumber  cultivators  in  this  coun- 
try. We  annually  grow  especially 
for  seed,  over  150  acres  ; it  is 

THE  GREAT  MARKET  GARDEN  VARIETY 

which  is  put  up  in  our  Sealed  % and  1 pound  Cartoons  only ; we  sell  it  no  other  way.  It  has  become  the  mo^ 
popular  and  salable  stock  of  White  Spine  Cucumber  Seed  in  this  country.  Seed  sold  for  this  variety  in  any  other 
way  than  in  our  Sealed  Cartoons  is  Spurious,  Price,  # lb.,  30  cts.;  per  lb.,  $L.00 ; 5 lbs.  at  90  cts.;  10  lbs.,  75  cts,, 
25  lbs.  at  65  cts.  per  lb. 


EARLY  JERSEY  WAKEFIELD  CABBAGE. 

(BUIST’S  SELECTED  STRAIN.  Its  Great  Features  are  Its  Size  and  Eariiness.) 

Each  year  this  variety  is  becoming  more  popular  and  demand  greater.  It  has  not  been  very  long  since  ite 
growth  was  confined  almost  exclusively  to  the  market  gardeners  of  New  Jersey,  but  it  has  gradually  disseminated 
into  other  sections,  and  now  is  well  known  and  highly  appreciated  by  all  the  leading  market  gardeners  of  tM* 
country.  We  regard  it  as  one  of  the  best  and  most  profitable  early  varieties,  for  either  market  or  private  gardens, 
it  is  always  sure  to  form  fine  solid  heads,  and  is  the  largest  heading  of  the  early  varieties  ; the  strain  of  seed  whie& 
we  offer  is  regarded  by  the  most  extensive  cabbage  growers  as  the  best  in  this  country.  Price,  oz.  25  cts.;  % ib.  /<& 
cts  ; lb.  $2.75  ; 5 lbs.  at  $2.50. 

The  Charleston,  or  Large  Jersey  Wakefield  Cabbage, 

This  famous  variety  differs  only  from  the  Early  Jersey  Wakefield  in  its  earliness  and  size  of  its  heads,  which 
are  twice  as  large  and  only  a week  later  As  a second  earfy  market  variety  it  is  very  valuable  and  unsurpassed. 
Price  per  oz.  25  cts.;  4 oz.  65  cts.;  lb.  $2.25 ; 5 lb.  at  $2.00. 


HENDERSON'S  EARLY -SUMMER  CABBAGE, 

Thisis  also  a very  popular  and  profitable  variety  for  the  market  gardener,  as  its  heading  season  is  between  th« 
Large  Jersey  Wakefield  and  Early  Drumhead,  producing  heads  of  double  the  size  of  the  former  and  almost  equal 
to  thelatter,  frequently  weighing  from  12  to  20  pounds  each  ; of  round,  flattened  form,  very  compact  and  solid  and 
of  excellent  auality.  Its  leaves  turns  into  heads  almost  as  soon  as  formed,  which  permits  of  close  planting  Prioa 
per  oz  , 20  cts.;  4 oz.,  60  cts.;  1 lb  , $1.85 ; 5 lbs.  at  $1.75.

BUIST’S 


Celebrated  Florida  Header  Cabbage. 

THE  GREAT  CABBAGE  FOR  FLORIDA  AND  LOUISIANA. 


This  variety  which  we  introduced,  requires  no  further  endorsement  by  us  as  it  has  become 
famous  not  only  in  Florida  and  Louisiana,  but  throughout  the  entire  country,  and  has  taken  the 
front  rank  for  its  certainty  of  heading  and  fine  market  quLlities;  we  have  not  yet  been  able  to  grow 
sufficient  seed  to  supply  the  great  demand  for  it;  in  Florida,  Louisiana  and  other  extreme  sections 
of  the  South,  where  so  much  trouble  and  disappointment  frequently  occurs  in  heading  cabbage,  it 
has  proved  a universal  favorite,  and  growers  in  those  sections  appear  to  be  wild  in  its  praise  and 
recommendations,  and  state  they  have  never  had  any  variety  to  equal  it,  scarcely  a single  failure 
can  be  found  in  whole  fields,  and  the  heads  average  from  15  to  30  pounds  each;  we  therefore 
named  it  the  Florida  Header.  It  is  now  being  grown  by  almost  every  Cabbage  grower  in  the 
South.  In  the  Western  States  which  are  more  favorable  for  the  growth  and  heading  of  Cabbage 
than  the  South,  it  has  proved  equally  as  successful,  and  forms  heads  of  a much  larger  size;  it  is 
much  earlier  than  the  Drumhead  or  Flat  Dutch,  and  on  account  of  its  not  being  so  rank  in  growth 
can  be  planted  much  closer  together,  therefore  producing  more  heads  to  the  acre.  As  a variet}r 
ioi  market,  shipping  or  private  gardens  it  has  no  equal. 

dSir'This  seed  is  put  up  and  sold  only  under  our  Seal,  and  can  be  obtained  only  from  our  House.

HENDERSONS  SUCCESSION  CABBAGE. 

This  is  one  of  the  most  valuable  varieties  ever  introduced  and  one  that  has  become  very  popu- 
lar with  all  market  gardeners’ — in  fact  no  gardener  can  afford  to  be  without  it,  whether  he  grows 
for  market  or  for  private  use.  It  is  a second  early  variety  following  the  Early  Summer  in  heading, 
but  forming  heads  of  a much  larger  size  and  of  a greater  uniformity.  On  Long  Island  where  we 
annually  grow  over  one  hundred  and  fifty  acres  in  cabbage  seed  this  variety  has  attracted  great 
attention,  as  it  shows  the  very  finest  breeding.  In  whole  fields  almost  every  head  appears  to  be 
moulded  from  the  same  model.  It  can  be  grown  successfully  either  as  an  early,  medium  or  a late 
crop,  and  under  any  circumstances  it  is  not  liable  to  shoot  to  seed  until  after  it  forms  its  fine  solid

Bnist's  Improved  Drumhead  Cabbage,  (sealed.) 

THE  GREAT  PRIZE  MEDAL  STOCK.  AWARDED  22  PREMIUMS  IN  ONE  YEAR. 


Will  produce  Large  Solid  Heads  in  any  country  and  in  any  soil.  The  richer  the  soil,  thefiner  the  heads. 

When  it  is  generally  admitted  that  the  product  of  over  one-half  of  the  cabbage  seed  sold  in 
this  country  never  heads,  and  that  which  even  grows  is  of  very  inferior  quality,  there  is  no  wonder 
that  a variety  which  heads  as  sure  as  the  sun  rises  has  become  so  celebrated  throughout  the  entire 
country — this  variety  is  known  as  Buist’s  Improved  Drumhead,  as  illustrated  above.  For  over 
25  years  we  have  been  the  most  extensive  growers  of  Cabbage  Seed  in  this  country,  and  during 
that  time  we  have  made  the  selections  and  improvement  of  our  Seed  a special  study  ; each  year 
the  finest  heads  from  our  growing  crops  are  selected  and  planted  out  especially  to  seed  th>s  follow- 
ing season,  the  centre  seed  stocks  of  which  are  only  allowed  to  produce  seed.  This  continued  im- 
provement, for  so  long  a period,  has  produced  a stock  of  Drumhead  Cabbage  that  has  no  equal  for 
its  compact  growth,  short  stem,  and  for  its  large  and  beautiful  heads  ; letters  are  annually  received 
from  every  section  of  our  country  speaking  its  praise.  In  the  Eastern  and  Western  States  the 
heads  will  attain  from  25  to  60  pounds,  and  in  the  South  from  15  to  30  pounds  each.  Seed 
sown  in  April  will  head  in  July  and  August; 
sown  in  May  will  head  in  October.  Per  oz.,  30 
cts. ; X lb.,  $1.00;  lb.,  $3.00;  2 lbs.,  at  $2.75. 

Snist's  Improved  Large  Mess  Purple  Egg  Plant, 

This  is  an  improvement  in  earliness,  pro- 
ductiveness and  size  of  fruit  over  the  ordinary 
large  purple  variety,  or  what  is  known  as  the 
New  York  Purple;  it  is  of  a very  dark  rich  color 
and  of  beautiful  form.  It  is  also  the  most  salable 
and  attractive  variety  for  market  and  the  most 
profitable  to  grow  because  more  productive.  We 
annually  grow  25  acres  of  this  variety  especially 
for  seed.  Peroz.  35  cts.;  X lb*?  $1.00;  lb.,  $3  75.;

NEW  YORK  IMPROVED  PURPLE, 

This  is  grown  very  largely  by  the  marl  jt 
gardeners  of  New  York  ; it  is  of  a large  oval 
shape,  with  smooth  stems,  quite  productive  and 
of  good  size.  Per  oz.,  30  cts.;  X lb.,  90  cts;  __

BUIST’S  SELECTED  SHORT-STEM* BRUNSWICK  DRUMHEAD  CABBAGE. 


(The  Seed  of  this  Variety  is  Sold  only  under  our  Seal.) 

4£g=The  Great  Demand  for  it  requires  us  to  protect  Ourselves  and  Customers 
in  this  manner.  Seed  offered  in  any  other  way  is  Spurious. 

The  true  Short-Stem  Brunswick  Drumhead  Cabbage  has  been  for  many  years  a general 
favorite  with  the  market  gardeners  and  cabbage  growers  located  in  Louisiana,  Florida  and  other 
tropical  sections  of  .his  country,  not  only  for  its  being  especially  adapted  to  their  climate  and 
great  certainty  in  heading,  but  also  for  the  size  and  superior  quality  of  the  cabbage ; but,  unfortuna- 
tely, a very  large  percentage  of  the  seed  sent  out  and  sold  under  the  name  of  Brunswick  is  either 
spurious  stock  or  so  much  mixed  with  other  varieties  as  to  be  almost  valueless  to  the  gardener  ; for 
this  reason  we  have  introduced  what  is  known  as  the 

BUIST’S  SELECTED  SHORT-STEM  BRUNSWICK  DRUMHEAD. 

For  the  past  few  years  we  have  paid  special  attention  to  the  improvement  and  selection  of 
this  valuable  variety  and  the  seed  which  we  offer  will  be  found  superior  to  any  in  the  world  ; it  is 
perfection  in  growth,  habit,  and  in  the  formation  of  its  heads,  which  are  much  larger,  more  com- 
pact and  closer  grain  than  the  old  Brunswick;  market  gardeners  who  have  grown  this  stock  pro- 
nounce it  the  finest  they  have  ever  had.  It  is  put  up  and  sold  only  in  our  sealed  packets,  ounces, 
quarters,  halves  and  pounds,  and  can  only  be  had  from  our  house  or  from  the  merchants  who 
handle  our  seeds.  Per  oz.,  25  cts.;  4 oz.,  75  cts,;  lb.  $2.75;  5 lbs.  at  $2.50. 


BUIST’S  HALF-LONG  OR  SCARLET  INTERMEDIATE  CARROT.  (Poinied-Root.) 


This  is  undoubtedly  the  best  and  most  salable  variety  for  market,  it  is  very  productive,  pro- 
ducing large  and  handsome  roots  of  perfect  form,  and  of  a beautiful  orange  red  color.  Per  oz.,  10 
cts.;  VA  lb.,  25  cts.;  lb.,  70  cts.;  5 lbs.  at  65  cts. 


BUiSY’S  PEDIGREE  ONION  SEEDS. 

We  are  very  extensive  growers  of  Onion  Seed,  making  it  one  of  the  specialies  of  our  House.  The  stock 
from  which  we  grow  our  seed,  is  our  old  Pedigree  stock,  famous  throughout  the  country  for  its  purity  and  fine 
quality.  We  make  an  annual  selection  of  the  bulbs  from  which  we  grow  our  supplies ; this  always  insures  to  our 
customers  seed  of  the  greatest  purify  and  strongest  growth  .

BUIST’S 

Selected  Onion  Sets 


Our  Onion  sets  are  very  bright  and  handsome 
samples,  and  of  small  size,  which  are  the  best,  for 
planting.  They  are  far  superior  to  Western,  or 
Southern-grown  sets,  as  they  are  always  large  in 
size  and  spongy,  sprouting  earlier  and  shooting  t© 
seed  before  forming  large  onions. 


YELLOW  ONION  SETS. 

Per  qt.,  15c.;  pk.,  $1.00;  bus.,  $2.75;  5 bus.  at  $2.50..

BUIST’S  SELECTED  SEED  POTATOES. 

The  Buist  Brand  of  Seed  Potatoes  lias  an  established  reputation  throughout  the  country  for  their 
Great  Purity,  Fine  Quality  and  Productiveness.  They  are  packed  in  large 
barrels  containing  2%  bushels  (165  lbs). 

They  are  grown  in  Vermont,  Nova  Scotia  a^id  Prince  Edward’s  Island  especially  for  seed,  and  are  of  an 
entirely  different  quality  from  the  stocks  generally  sold,  which  are  frequently  mixed  varieties  of  a very  inferior 
grade,  with  the  names  branded  on  the  barrels  to  suit  the  order.  F«r  a list  of  varieties  see  our  Garden  Guide. 

PRICE:  Per  Barrel,  $3.25;  10  Barrels  at  $3.15;  25  Barrels  at  $3.00.
