 Pkt„5c.; oz., iOa: Ji lb., 50c.: lb, S1.75. 



LinXGSTOX'S PEKFECTION. This 

 valuable variety comes from the same source 

 as the Acme and Paragon. It is shaped like 

 tie Acme, larger, fully as early, perfectly 

 smooth, blood red in color, very solid, and a 

 heavv cropper. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; 34 lt>-i -lOc.; 

 lb., Sl.fO. 



SELECTED EAULT PAKAGOX. Very 

 solid, dark red color, heavy foliage, a favorite 

 market varietv ; excellent for canning. Pkt., 

 5c.: oz., 1.5c.; hi lb.. -lOc ; lb., S1.40. 



SELECTED EAKI-Y AC3IE. Ripens 

 evenly, of medium, uniform size, round, very- 

 solid, and of a pink purplish color: very- pro- 

 ductive, bearing until killed bv frost. Pkt , 

 5c.; oz., 1.5c; ^i ll>., 45c.: Hi., 81.60. 



LrVIXGSTOX'S FATOKITE. An early 

 variety; somewhat smoother than the Para- 

 gon. Does not crack after ripening, is of a 

 darker red than the Perfection, and is larger 

 than either. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15e.; 34 'h., 400.; 

 lb., 31.50. 



STEW EUPEKIAX T03IAT0. TVe grew this new to- 

 mato the past season at Floracroft and found it ver>- early for 

 so large a tomato. We agree with ilr. Halliday, the originator, 

 in pronouncing it a valuable acquisition to our first early 

 tomatoes. It is very smooth, of fine form, and changes its 

 color from red to a pinkish purple when fully ripe. It bears 

 its fruit in clusters and verv abundantly. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 

 25c.; Jilb., 75c.; lb., $2.50. 



This variety was originated 

 by Thomas H. Brinton, the 

 veteran tomato specialist, 

 who has probably tested more 

 new tomatoes than any other 

 man in the United States. 

 Since our introduction of it 

 in 1893, it has met with very 

 large sale in all sections, and 

 out of hundreds of unso- 

 licited testimonial letters 

 received, there is not one 

 who does not pronounce it 

 '• tlie very best main 

 crop tomato tliey have 

 ever grown." The pho- 

 tograph of an average speci- 

 men will give some idea of 

 their magnificent size and 

 handsome smooth shape. 

 The vines grow vigorously 

 and produce abundantly 

 until killed by frost. They 

 attract great attention owing 

 to their beautiful deep red 

 color, uniforml}' even large 

 size and perfect, smooth 

 shape. The skin is remark- 

 ably tough and solid, so that 

 ripe specimens picked from 

 the vine luill keep in good, 

 marketable condition for two 

 weeks. Its fine qualitj^ and 

 soliditj- are unequalled. Pkt., 

 roc.; oz , 30C ; )i lb., 80c.; 

 lb., 13.00. 



XEW STONi; TOMATO. SPLENDID FOR MAIN CROP. 



i EmXGSTON'S ROYAX RED. Royal Red is a first- 



class main crop variety for the shipper, market and private 

 gardener, and of special value to the canner and catsup 

 maker. Of late years quite a demand litis sprung up for a 

 tomato without any purple tinge and of a deeper red than 

 any variety now on the market, and the beautiful red color 

 of both skin and flesh of Livingston's Roval Red is what is 

 desired. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; V^ lb., 50c.; lb., S1.75.
