 later varieties, and is a par- 

 ticularly profitable Tomato for 

 market gardeners and truckers.

German, Liebesapfel. French, Tomate. 



Sow the Seed in a hot-bed first week in March, in drills 

 half an inch deep. When the plants are about two inches 

 high, transplant into another hot-bed or into small pots, 

 one in each pot; fn that way the plants are strengthenea 

 and branch out better. Set the plants out about the first of 

 June, about three feet apart, for early crop, mixing a 

 shovelful of well-rotted manure in each hill. For late 

 crops, or where the soil is heavy, plant four feet apart. 

 Water freely when transplanting and protect from the sun 

 for a few days until the plants are fairly started. A few 

 plants may be raised by sowing Seed in a pot or a box in 

 the house. 

 1 oz. to 1,500 plants. % lb. for transplanting on an acre. 



CREAM CITY TOMATO. 



The First Large Tomato to Ripen. Remarkably Prolific. 

 Flesh Thick and Solid. 



A variety of exceptional merit, coming into use as early 

 as Early Ruby and other small and unshapely extra early 

 sorts. It is perfectly smooth and symmetrical in shape, 

 and as large as Perfection. The plants are strong and 

 vigorous, bearing an abundance of large, smooth fruit of 

 a beautiful purplish crimson color. The flesh is remark- 

 ably thick, firm and solid, and of very fine quality with 

 very few seeds. It is an excellent shipper. Does not crack 

 or rot, as is the case with many of the 

 old sorts. 



The Cream City is the most profitable 

 Tomato for the market gardener and 

 trucker, and is unsurpassed for 

 canning purposes. Pkt. 10c; oz. 

 30c; Vi lb. 85c; 1 lb. $3.00. 

 Livingston s New Globe — Among 

 the very first to ripen, al- 

 though of large size, very 

 smooth, firm-fleshed, few 

 seeds, ripens evenly; color a 

 beautiful, glossy rose, tinged 

 purple. Flavor very delicate 

 and agreeable; splendid slic- 

 ing variety. The fruit is 

 borne on short, jointed, 

 branching plants in great 

 abundance — literally loaded 

 with fruit. A good general 

 cropper, and one of the verv 

 best for greenhouse growing 

 or first early crop on stakes or 

 trellis. Per pkt. 10c; oz. 

 30c; % lb. S5c; 1 lb $3.00
