 tained throughout the season, the healthy growth of foliage 

 continuing until killed bv frost. Oz., 15c.; + lb 5(ic • lb

,*»*• Livingston's Magnus.— This new variety, of the 

 color of Beauty is thicker, heavier and decidedly more 

 solid than the above, making it 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 almost globe shaped. It 

 ripens evenly, does not crack about the stem, and the flavor 

 is most desirable. Oz., 20c.; Jib., 75c.; lb., $2.50.

 canners. Pkg., 5c.; oz., 15c.; J lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75. 

 ..»» Liivingston's Honor Bright. — Its chief peculiarities are 

 its .solifiity, long-keeping qualities after being picked, and the re- 

 markable changes of color the fruit undergoes 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 

 s especially recommended for shipping. It can be 

 pped in barrels, like apples, if picked in the early 

 ge of ripening, and will keep from one to four 

 eks if stored in a cool place. Oz., 25c.; J lb., 75c.; 

 $3.00.

 robust growth and very prolific. The fruit is of bright 

 scarlet and grows in clusters of good size, bearing 

 well up to frost. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; J lb., 75c.
