TOMATOES— Continued. 



THE PONDEKOSA. This has been extensively adver- 

 tised by a brother seedsman. It is certainly a mon.sler, many 

 specimens taken fiora our patch this season weighing fiom 

 one and one-half to two pounds each. We do not find the 

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

 seeder. I'kt., lOc; oz., 45c.; ^Ib., *1.2.d; lb., $4.01). 



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

 able for shipping. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; M lb., 60c.; lb., $-'.25. 



CHEMIN MARKET. This new tomato wasoriginated 

 by 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, and bearing its 

 fruits in bunches of ten to twelve. Color bright scarlet, solid 

 and finest flavor. Pkt., 5c.; oz., 20c.; i^ lb., 60c.; lb., $2.25. 



LIVINGSTON'S POTATO LEAF. A fine market 

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

 named 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 smoother. 

 Pkt., 5c.; oz.,25c.; ^4 lb., 73c.; lb.. $2.50. 



LIVINGSTON'S PERFECTION. This valuable variety 

 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 cropper. 

 Pkt., ."ic.; oz., 200.; ^i lb., 60c.; lb., $2.00.

 medium, uniform size, round, very solid, and of a pink 

 purplish color; very productive, bearing until killed bv frost.

 what smoother than the Paragon. Doesnotcrack afterripen- 

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

 either. Pkt., 5e.; oz., 15e.; '^i lb., 50c.; lb., $1.75. 



THE PEACH TO M ATO. Almost identical with some 

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

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

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

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

 is hai-d to beat. Pkt., lOc; oz., 25c.; 141b., 7.5c.; lb., $2.50. 



NEW ROSE PEACH TOMATO. This variety was 

 offered last spring for the first time, and growsto about twice

 shape, with bright purple top; pure white flesh of excellent 

 flavor, never bitter, small top, and a good keeper. It is a

BUDLONG, o r 

 BREAD- 

 STONE. This 

 new strain is the re- 

 sult of years of care- 

 ful selection made by 

 Mr. Budlong, one of 

 the most extensive 

 market gardeners of 

 New England. While 

 of Ruta-Baga form, 

 it well deserves to be 

 classed with the best 

 table turnips, owing 

 to its fine texture and 

 extra high quality. 

 It is of half-long 

 shape, as shown in 

 our illustration, with 

 a beautiful purple 

 crown, pure white 

 skin and flesh. Me- 

 dium in size and of 

 verj- quick growth.

 had a great local 

 reputation for sev- 

 eral years in a few 

 towns in New Eng- 

 land, where garden- 

 ers would pay almost 

 any price to obtain 

 seed in seasons when 

 scarce. From our 

 own experience we 

 pronounce it the very 

 best table turnip for 

 spring and winter 

 use that we have ever 

 seen grow. Pkt., 5c.;
