saved froma round, smooth fruit, perfect in every 
respect and of the Prize Specimen grade. For family

LIVINGSTON’S MAGNUS TOPIATO. 
A distinct and most promising new variety, of the: 
color of Beauty and Acme. It is thicker, heavier and _ 
more solid than either of the above, making it easily 
the most handsome sort in cultivation. 
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 as an early sort. 
The form is perfect, uniform, large and attractive. 
Flesh very firm. Heavy cropper. The fruits are 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. 
It has been tested for several years for staking up in 
the open field, as well as for forcing in greenhouses, 
and we believe it to be entirely unequalled for 
such purposes. Price: Per pkt., ,20; 3 pkts., 
for .50.
