This Buckbee's advertising postcard is from about 1910. At the top is printed "Growing Buckbee's Great Ruby Strawberries on Rockford Seed Farms." At the bottom is printed "H.W. Buckbee - Rockford Seed Farms. Forest City Greenhouses - Rockford, Ill. Send for Free Catalogue." Below is an enlargement of Buckbee's "Full of Life Seeds" trademark from the back of the card.
My stool is an old milking stool that is decorated with painted strawberries on all sides. The size of the stool is 7" X 14" X 14" high.
I'm participating in Vintage Thingie Thursday

I love your strawberry bench! I have a similar bench, but it is not cute with strawberries on it!!! Love the top picture too, that would be great framed....the colors are wonderful! Have a great VTT!
Two great minds running together. I also featured old postcards on my blog today. I really like yours and the stool as well.
Stool is as cute as can be. I remember that name of the seed co.
Nice VTT.

That bee graphic is simply divine!
What a pretty post card! And the strawberries look pretty on the stool too.
That milking stool is beautiful! Do you think that the cows gave more milk because of the strawberry drawings.
It's just charming...
Oh! I love these! I've never seen a seed company postcard before and I just love this one. And your milking stool is so much fun.
Happy VTT!

Thanks for stopping by! Your postcards are wonderful and I love the milking stool. There is a dairy farm in my family since my great-great-grandfather. They don't milk by hand anymore, but I wonder if there is still an old milking stool around.
