LIVINGSTON'S FAVORITE — The canner's favorite 

 and one of the best and largest perfect-shaped red Toma- 

 toes in cultivation. Ripens evenly and as early as any other 

 good red sort, holding its size to the end of the. season; 

 free from cracks, and is not apt to rot at the blossom end; 

 very prolific, good flavor, few seeds, flesh solid, bears ship- 

 ping long distances. It is used almost exclusively in the 

 extensive cannery sections of Maryland, and has been gen- 

 erally grown for years for the canner's trade throughout the 

 United States. Grower's own packets. l A lb., 60c; lb., $2. 

 1 LIVINGSTON'S BUCKEYE STATE — The largest 

 smooth Tomato known; bears in clusters much the same as 

 Livingston Beauty, but nearly twice the size. Maturing for 

 main crop. 1 oz., 20c; r /i lb., 60c; 1 lb., $2.00. 



LIVINGSTON'S HONOR BRIGHT — Its chief pecu- 

 liarities are its solidity, long-keeping qualities after being 

 picked, and the remarkable changes of color the fruit un- 

 dergoes during growing and ripening. These changes of 

 color provide an easily learned guide to the proper time of 

 picking for long-distance shipping. For home market it is 

 picked just as any other sort. The color of the fruit, when 

 fully ripe, is a rich, bright red, but before reaching this 

 stage it undergoes several interesting changes. First it is 

 light green, then an attractive waxy white, then lemon, 

 changing to a rich red. One. of the most attractive and 

 handsome varieties grown, and well adapted for home use 

 or market, and on account of its solidity and long-keeping 

 qualities it is especially recommended for shipping. It can 

 be shipped in barrels, like apples, if picked in the early 



MARYLAND PRIDE. 



stage of ripening, and will keep from one to four weeks if 

 stored in a cool place. The skin seems to be crack-proof, 

 as the past season we had two crops, one on rich, highly 

 manured upland, the other on rich river bottom land — and 

 not a single Tomato was found with a skin-crack, even after 

 the exceedingly heavy rains during the harvest. It never 

 rots, at least the past three seasons it has shown no inclina- 

 tion to rot. The clusters bear three to five large perfect 

 fruits, beautiful as the Paragon, and ripen evenly from the 

 blossom end to the stem. Its season is long, and a heavier 

 cropper hard to find. Its table qualities are superb; the 

 flesh, when ripe, being tender and melting; not hard, as one 

 might conclude from the solidity of the uncut fruit. Those 

 who grow it will find it a valuable acquisition, and will be 

 surprised at its productiveness and distinctness from all 

 other known sorts. Oz., 25c; ^4 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 



MARYLAND PRIDE — Since our introduction of it in 

 1895, it has been grown with great success by canners and 

 market gardeners, who pronounce it "the very best second 

 early and main crop Tomato they have ever grown." The 

 fruit is of a beautiful crimson color, magnificent size and 

 handsome, smooth shape. The vines grow vigorous, and 

 produce abundantly until killed by the frost. Package, 5c. ; 

 oz., 20c; ]4 lb., 60c; lb., $2.00. 



LIVINGSTON'S MAGNUS.—This very distinct 

 and most promising new variety, of the color of 

 Beauty and Acme, is our latest addition to the To- 

 mato family. It is thicker, heavier, and more solid 

 than either of the above, making it easily the most 

 handsome sort in cultivation. It is unsurpassed in 

 quality and in the production of fine, large fruits. 

 While perfectly adapted to main crop planting, yet 

 it matures so quickly that it will take first rank "for 

 early market. The form is perfect, uniform, large 

 and attractive. Flesh is very firm. It is a robust 

 grower, with short joints, setting its clusters closer 

 together than most varieties, and is therefore a 

 heavy cropper. The fruits are usually very deep 

 from stem to blossom end, many of them being al- 

 most globe-shaped. It ripens evenly, does not crack 

 about the stem, and the flavor is most desirable. Oz., 

 25c. ; *4 lb., 90c.
