New Tomato, Livingstones Hummer

 growth to Livingston's Globe, but instead of being puik or purplish in 

 color, like the latter, it is a fine bright scarlet. Livingston's Hummer 

 is as round as a ball, smooth as an apple and with little or no inden- 

 ture at tlie stem end, hence there is no waste in preparing the fruits for 

 the table. It is a second-early sort and it is a very desirable Tomato for 

 canning or putting up whole in glass. Pkt. loc, oz. 40c., '(Ih. Jr.25, lb.f4.

 1 2 inches long below the leaf. 



New "Coreless" Tomato 



This is a new Tomato sent out by the Liv- 

 ingstons, who have introduced a great number 

 of fine, new sorts. It is a distinct globe-shaped, 

 bright red, large main-crop variety ; it is al- 

 most round, being the same diameter each 

 way. It is very productive, forming in clusters 

 of four to seven fruits, always free of a green 

 core, and its shape makes it an excellent 

 slicing variety. This would make a splendid 

 Tomato for the canners or catsup-makers.

 rosette of thick, tender and succulent crumpled leaves, which are of an in- 

 tensely dark green color. Their great substance and short-leaved stalks enable
