 Red. One of the earliest ; 

 medium size ; skin light 

 scarlet ; smooth and pro- 

 ductive. 



Tildeii. This has been 

 the standard varietj'- for 

 family gardens as well as 

 market, but has been sup- 

 planted to a great extent 

 by later introductions. It 

 is of a good shape, bril- 

 liant scarlet, and from 

 above medium to large 

 in size, and keeps well. 



Selected Trophy, A 



Extra Early Dwarf. Very large, smooth To- 



mato, more solid and heavier than any other kind. It is not quite as 

 early as the Tilden. Has become a favorite variety. 



L,arg-e Yellow^. This is similar in shape to the Large Eed, but 

 more solid. Xot very popular. 



Aeaiie. 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 Avill 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 considera- 

 tion. It does well about 

 liere where the ground 

 is heavy. 



Pa rag-on. This va- 

 riety has lately come in- 

 to notice. It is very 

 solid, of a bright red- 

 dish crimson color, 

 comes in about the 

 same time as the Til- 

 den, but is heavier in 

 foliage, and protects its 

 fruit. It is productive and keeps long in bearing. Well adapted 

 for shipi'ing. 



LivingstOBi's Perfecticii. Very similar to the above in shape 

 and color. 



Livingston's Favorite. This is the latest novelty ; it is as per- 

 fect 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 were the finest specimen of tomatoes I ever saw, and
