Early Large Smooth Red. One of the earliest; medium size; 
skin light scarlet; smooth and productive. 
Wiidem. This has been the standard variety for family garden 
as well as market, but has been supplanted to a great extent by later 
introductions. It is of a good shape, brilliant scarlet, and from above 
medium to large in size, and keeps well. 
Seiected Trophy. A very large, smooth Tomato, more solid and 
heavy than any other kind. Itis not quiteasearlyasthe Tilden. Has 
become a favorite variety. 
Large WelHow. This is similar in shape to the Large Red, but 
more solid. Not very popular. 
Aeme. Thisis a new variety and the prettiest and most solid 
Tomato ever introduced. Itis 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 
f} 2 introduced none yet has 
rs surpassed this kind, 
when all qualities are 
brought into considera- 
tion. it does well about 
here where the ground is 
‘ heavy.

Livimgsten’s Perfection. 
Very similar to the above in shape 
and color. 
Livimgsion’s Favorite. This 
is the latest novelty; 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 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
