served quartered, as a salad, and the yellow kinds which 

 lend more beauty than flavor to a dish of sliced tomatoes 

 of the larger kinds. 



Foremost among the small-fruited red sorts stands 

 Comet, a phenomenal yielder of globe-shaped fruits the 

 size of a large plum. It is very meaty and of fine flavor, 

 ripening within no days. Livingstons Hummer grows 

 beautiful clusters of ten to twelve globe-shaped fruits 

 averaging as large as a hen's egg. 



Among the different yellow sorts, Livingston s Golden 

 Queen, after nearly forty years, still maintains unques- 

 tioned leadership. (See illustration.) It is a large- 

 fruited sort, matures in 115-120 days after sowing and, 

 like most yellow sorts, can claim but little flavor. 



Livingston's Dwarf Yellow Prince is the yellow counter- 

 part of Dwarf Champion among the purple sorts.
