LIVI.M.STON S POTATO LEAP TOMATO. 



mTNGSTON 'S NEW POTATO tE-^T. Another fine 

 new market tomato, remarkable for its great firmness and 

 solidity, and in this respect it is unequalled by any other vari- 

 ety. It is named Potato Leaf, in eonsequence of its having 

 such avery peculiar leaf, being ^^'hole, not cutorsenated like 

 the leaves of ordinary kinds. In this respect, itresemblesthe 

 Mikado or Turner Hybrid, but while the iruit is not quite 

 so large as these, but large enough for all purposes, it is far 

 smoother, equalling the old standards, Acme and Para- 

 gon, in this respect. It is a second early, and is ever-bearing 

 until killed by frost, and it takes a pretty sharp frost or two 

 before the fruit is injured, being protected by the heavy leaves. 

 It has a strong vine and resists the mnd remarkably well ; 

 it is an excellent variety for growing on trellis or tying up 

 to stakes. JIarket gardeners give it a trial ; it will stand tlie 

 knocks of a market wagon first rate. It has the Acme color 

 and is very prolific. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 30c.; ^ lb., 81.00; lb., 

 $3.00. 



Tree Tomato. This variety is distinguished from 

 all others by its short, stiff stalks, standing up like a tree, 

 without support of any kind. It bears very abundantly, of 

 fine, large, bright red tomatoes, of good, smooth shape and 

 fine flavor. The leaves are very curly, and of a very dark 

 green, almost black, making the plant very ornamental, as 

 well as usefid. Being a late varietv, the seed should be sown 

 early in hot-beds. Pkt., lOc; 3 pkts., 2.5e. 



Tlie foUou-iiifj varieties of Tomatoes are each 5 cents per 

 packet ; 2-5 cents per ovnce.
