disii crimson color, comes in about 

 tlie same time as tLe Tilden, but is 

 heavier in foliage, and protects its 

 fiTiit. It is productive and keeps long 

 in bearing. Well adapted for ship- 

 ping. 



ILiiviEigstoii's Perfection. 



Very similar to the foregoing in shape 

 and color. 



l.aviai§:§toii's Favorite. 



This Tomato ^as introduced only a 

 few years ago; it is as perfect in shape 

 and as solid as the Acme, but much 

 larger, and of a handsome dark red 

 color. I had some sent to me by a 

 customer, and they surely vrere the 

 finest sriecimen of tomatoes I ever 

 s&vr, and Vere admired by everybody 

 vrho saw them. They will keep weU, 

 and do not crack. 



L<iviii§:ston's Beauty. This 



variety was offered for the first time 

 five years ago. It is quite distinct in 

 color, being a very glossy crimson with 

 a light tinge of purple, (fighter than 

 the Acmei. It ripens with the Acme 

 or Paragon, but keeps longer. It is 

 very perfect in shape and does not 

 crack, like some of the thin skinned 

 sorts. 



The seeds of the last five va- 

 rieties are raised for me by the 

 originators, Messrs. Livingston's 

 Sons, and can be relied upon as 

 being true to name and of su- 

 perior quality.

Turnips do best in new ground. "When the soil has been worked long, it should receive a 

 top dressing of land-plaster or ashes. If stable manure is used the ground should be manured 

 the spring previous to sowing, so it may be well incoi-porated with the soU. When fresh manure 

 is used the turnips are apt to become speckled. Sow fi-om end of July till October for fall and 

 winter, and in January. February and Mai'ch for spiing and summer use. They are generally 

 sown broad-cast, but the Euta Baga should be sown in diills, or rather ridges, and should not 

 be sown later than the end of August; the Golden Ball and Aberdeen, not later than the end of 

 September. The White Flat Dutch, Early Spiing and Pomerian Globe are best for spring, but 

 also good for autumn.
