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

tion. It does well about 
- here where the ground is

f Paragon. This vari- 
Nieaety has lately come into 
W notice. It is very solid, 
ofa bright reddish crim- 
son color, comes in about 
the same time as the Til- 
den, butis heavier in foli- 
age, and protectsits fruit. 
Itis productive and keeps

adapted for shipping. 
Livingston’s Perfection. 
Very similar to the above in shape 
and color. > 
Livingsion’s Favorite. This 
is the latest novelty; it is as perfect 
in shape and as solid as the Acme, 
but much larger, and ofa handsome 
dark red color. I had some sent

surely were the finest specimen of 
tomatoes IT ever saw, and were ad- 
mired by everybody who saw them. 
They will keep weil, and do not 
erack. 
Livingston’s Favorite. 
The seed of the last four varieties are raised for me by-the originators, Messrs. 
Livington’s Sons, and can be relied upon as being true to name and of superior 
quality.
