ONE-HALF DOZEN SUPERB TOMATOES. 
LIVINGSTON’S FAVORITE TOMATO.— Mr. Livingston writes us 
the following: **Livingston’s favorite has several advantages overall others 
sent out by me heretofore. It is smoother than the Paragon, does not crack 
like the Acme, after ripe it isa darker red than the Perfection, and larger 
than either; has few seeds; weighs heavier than any of its size, ripens 
evenly all through at once. It has no hard core. Only surpassed by 
Cardinal. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 ets.; Ib., $2.50. 
MAYFLOWER TOMATO.—First offered in 1882, will compare most 
favorably with any new sort. Ripening afew days later than Little Gem, in 
————— size, it will average about one-quarter larger than the Acme. It is of a glossy, 
LIVINGSTON’S FAVORITE. bright red color, and ripens evenly and perfectly up tothestem. Its shape 
is perfect, round, slightly flattened and perfectly smooth; flesh, solid, 
rich in flavor and free from seeds. It is not excelled in productive- 
ness, bearing full crops until killed by frost. It has all the very best 
shipping qualities. You cannot sow a better or more profitable 
variety. Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 35 cts.; 14 Ib., $1.00; Ib., $3.25. 
ESSEX HYBRID —A most valuable new variety, rapidly gaining 
; great popularity everywhere. The 
handsomest shape, and one of the 
most profitable tomatoes for the 
market in cultivation. It is very 
solid, of rich flavor, grows perfectly 
smooth, large in size, and is very 
productive. It ripens all over alike 
f and flesh is very hard and solid. A 
vigorous grower, fruits evenly on 
the vines. Without any rough fruit, 
bearing hardly ever any fruit which 
is not fit for market. Just the sort 
for shipping. All progressive 
growers should plant the Essex 
variety largely. Pkt., 10 cts.: oz., 
25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 ets.; Ib., $2.50.

purple top; leaves, few, short, and of light color, growing very 
compact, and making an exceedingly small and neat top. The
