NEW TOMATO, LIVINGSTON'S GLOBE 



This is a new variety originating with the Livingstons, of tomato fame. In shape it is notably 

 distinct from all others, being a beautiful globe, which permits of a greater number of slices to be taken 

 than is possible with flat varieties. It is among the first to ripen; fruit of large size_ maintained 

 throughout the season; always smooth, firm fleshed, and has very few seeds, especially in the early 

 fruits; ripens evenly, through and through ; a fine glossy rose in color, tinged, with purple; very pro- 

 ductive, the plant is always loaded with fruit, having joints at frequent intervals with large clusters of 

 from three to seven fruits. A remarkably good keeper ; especially adapted to slicing, as the flavor is 

 very delicate and agreeable. A good general cropper and will be found well fitted for greenhouse grow- 

 ing or for real early crop on stakes or trellis. Seed offered in packets (40 seeds) only this season. Each, 

 per pkt., 20c; 3 pkts., 50c; 7 pkts., $1.00. 



SANTA ROSA TOMATO— Mammoth Main Crop Sort 



Three years ago one of our customers at Santa Rosa, Cal., sent us a few seeds of this valuable new 

 tomato for trial. Upon growing we found in it a new race of tomatoes, differing from all others in its 

 brilliant crimson untinged color, thick symmetrical shape, solid, meaty and almost seedless flesh. We 

 were also astonished at its great size, eclipsing all very large tomatoes such as Ponderosa, Enormous and 

 all others we have ever seen, many fruits 5 to 6 inches across and almost as deep through. It is a very 

 fine sort for the home garden, as well as enormously productive and profitable for a main crop and late 

 market sort. Price, per pkt., 15c; oz., 70c; \ lb., $2.00.; lb., $6.00.
