66 Richard Frotscher’s Almanac and Garden Manual 
Early Large Smooth Red. One of the earliest; medium size; 
skin light scarlet; smooth and productive. 
Wildem. This has been the standard variety for family garden as 
well as market, but has been supplanted to a great extent by later 
introductions. Jt is of a good shape, brilliant scarlet, and from 
above medium to large in size and keeps well. 
Selected Trophy. A very large, smooth Tomato, more solid and 
heavy than any other kind. It is not quite as early as the Tilden. 
Has become a favorite variety. : 
Large Weliow. This is similar in shape to the Large Red, but 
more solid. Not very popular. 
Aeme. This is a new variety and the prettiest and most solid 
Tomato ever introduced. It is of medium size, round and very smooth, 
a strong grower and a good and long bearer. They are the perfection 
of Tomatoes for family use, but will not answer for shipping purposes ; 
the skin is too tender and cracks when fully ripe. Of all the varieties 
introduced none yet has surpassed this kind, when all qualities are 
brought into consideration. It does well about here where the ground 
is heavy. 
Paragom. This variety has lately come into notice. It is very 
solid; of a bright reddish crimson color, comes in about the same time 
as the Tilden, but is heavier in foliage, and protects its fruit. It is 
productive and keeps long in bearing. Well adapted for shipping. 
; Livingston’s Perfection. 
Very similar to the above in shape 
Ee. and color, 
ws, Livingston’s Favorite. This 
\ is the latest novelty; itis as perfect 
in shape and as solid as the Acme, 
but much larger, and ofa handsome 
dark red color. I had some sent 
to me by a customer, and they 
surely were the finest specimen of 
tomatoes I ever saw, and were ad- 
mired by everybody who saw them. 
They will keep well and do not 
crack.

The seed of the last four varieties are raised for me by the originators, Messrs. 
Livingston’s Sons, and can be relied upon as being true to name and of superior quality.
