SO general throughout the entire list of 

 garden peas and beans, small seeds of all 

 kinds, and even flower seeds, as they are 

 this year; but, on the other hand, there 

 seem to be few absolutely total failures. 

 It is a year of shortages sufficiently acute 

 to warrant the steadily advancing prices 

 which are being asked for ev«ry line of 

 good seed stock." 



LIVINGSTON'S NEW TOMATO. 



The Livingston Seed Co., Columbus, 

 O., is enthusiastic over its new tomato, 

 Livingston's Coreless, and feels sure it 

 will take the place of many varieties now 

 used for canning and Catsup making, 

 not even excepting their good old Stone. 

 It is of large size, globe-shaped, full at 

 the stem end, bright red, a strong grow- 

 er and a big cropper. It always is free 

 from the green core and is therefore an 

 excellent table variety, although slightly 

 more acid than Livingston's Globe. The 

 flesh is firm, so that it is a good shipper. 



The Livingston Seed Co. is widely 

 known for its work with the tomato, to 

 this house probably more than any other 

 being due the present perfection of this 

 fruit. In 1905 they sent out Living- 

 ston's Globe, which is an excellent 

 thing, and in 1907 Livingston's- Hum- 

 mer, which has proved a winner. The 

 1908 introduction is in the same line of 

 advance and these three are the result of 

 the continuation of the careful work of 

 hybridization and selection which gave to 

 the trade and the country such standard 

 sorts as Stone. 



ENGLISH NOVELTIES. 



One of the principal sources from 

 which the American seed trade draws 

 Its flower seed novelties is the firm of 

 Watkins & Simpson, London, and this 

 year's novelty list from this house of 

 world-wide connections shows the usual 

 number of new varieties. The leading 

 features are Eschscholtzia Dainty 

 Queen and Godetia Crimson Glow 

 which have been previously mentioned 

 •° >f ®^® columns. In addition there 

 IS Model, a new and distinct variety 

 of ostrich plume aster which it is 

 thought is a great acquisition as a 

 border aster. The habit is compact 

 and the plants are not more than six 

 inches high. Mauve Queen is a new 

 florists' cut flower aster, the color be- 

 ing described as a rich, pearl gray 

 nearly approaching the color of the 

 t-ountess of Eadnor sweet pea. The 

 flowers are large, double and carried 

 on long stems. It is in the Comet class
