TOMATOES— Continued. 



THE PONDEBOSA. This lias been extensively adver- 

 tised by a brother seedsman. It is certainly a monster, many 

 specimens taken from our patch this season weighing from 

 one and one-half to tvi'o pounds eaol)^ We do not find the 

 quality equal to some of the smaller sorts. A very shy 

 seeder. Pkt.,10o.; oz.,35c.; ^Ib-.W-OO; lb.,S3.50. 



LIVINGSTON'S BEAUTY. A popular variety. The 

 color is a glossy crimson, with a purple tinge; it grows in 

 clusters of four and five, retaining its large size late in the 

 season ; veiy solid, with a tough skin, making it very desir- 

 able for shipping. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; 14 lb., 60c.; lb., »2.00. 



CHEMIN MARKET. This new tomato was originated 

 T>y Mr. Chemin, the noted Paris gardener. It has been grown 

 with great success in nearly all sections of the United States, 

 and is distinct in form, being apple-shaped, .nnd bearing its 

 fruits in bunches often to twelve. Color bright scarlet, solid 

 and finest flavor. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; Ji lb., 60c.; lb., S2.25. 



LIVINGSTON'S POTATO LEAF. A fine market 

 tomato, remarkable for its great firmness and solidity. It is 

 naxned Potato Leaf from its very peculiar leaf, which is 

 ■whole, not cut or serrated like the ordinary kinds. In this 

 respect it resembles the Mikado, or Turner Hybrid. While 

 the fruit is not quite so large as these, it is far smootlier. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz.,20c.; %\b., 60c.; Ib.,$2.(i0. 



LIVINGSTON'S PERFECTION. This valuable va- 

 ariety comes from the same source as the Acme and Paragon. 

 It is shaped like the Acme, larger, fully as early, perfectly 

 :smooth, blood red in color, very solid, and a heavy cropi^er. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz.,20c.; ^ lb., 50c.; lb.,W.75.

 Ted color, heavy foliage, a favorite market varietv ; e.Ncellent 

 for canning. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; X^b., 50c.; lb., SI. 60. 



SELECTED EARLY ACME. Ripens evenly, of me- 

 ■dium, uniform size, round, very solid, and of a pink purplish 

 ■color; very productive, bearing until killed by frost. Pkt., 

 -5c.; oz.,20c.; i^ lb., 50c.; lb., 81.75. 



LIVINGSTON'S FAVORITE. An early variety; some- 

 what smoother than the Paragon. Does not crack after 

 ripening, is of a darker red than the Perfection, and is larger 

 than either. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 15c.; J^lb., 50c.; lb., $1.60. 



THE PEACH TOMATO. Almost identical with some 

 forms of peaches, both in shape and color. The fruit is 

 produced in clusters, is very solid, with red interior, and red, 

 pinkish and green blush on the outside skin, which can lie 

 easily peeled, like the skin of a peach. For preserving, is 

 hard to beat. Pkt., 10c.; oz., 25c.: % lb., 75c.; lb., $2.50.
