J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



LIVINGSTON'S STONE. — An ex- 

 cellent variety; one of the best and 

 most desirable for our truck farmers. 

 Thousands of bushel boxes are annu- 

 ally shipped from Florida to South- 

 ern and Northern markets, and no 

 variety gives better satisfaction than 

 this. For shipping- it cannot be sur- 

 passed. The fruit is of the hand- 

 somest, brightest scarlet; more glob- 

 ular in shape than the Beauty or 

 Favorite, and perfectly smooth and 

 glossy. One of the best varieties for 

 our climate. 



SPARK'S EABLIANA. — The earli- 

 est large smooth Tomato in the 

 world. Of large uniform size and 

 beautiful red color. Ripens thor- 

 oughly all over, the stem end color- 

 ing up perfectly. Almost seedless 

 and as solid as a beefsteak. Most 

 vigorous grower. A prodigious 

 bearer, continuing until frost. 



EXTRA EARLY DWARF.— This is the 

 earliest in cultivation. It is dwarfish in 

 habit, fruit larger than the Dwarf Cham- 

 pion and more flat; bright scarlet in color, 

 ribbed, and very productive. For an early 

 market variety it cannot be surpassed. 



KING OP THE EARI.IES. — Very early 

 and productive; color bright red, of good 

 size and quite solid. The vine is medium, 

 stout and branching. The buds appear 

 soon, blossoms as a rule adhere and pro- 

 duce fruit. It is so much earlier than the 

 Livingston \arieties that it should be 

 planted for the first. 



EARLY DETROIT. — The vine is more 

 vigorous than tbat of Acme and is more 

 productive. Not only are more fruits pro- 

 duced, but they average more; nearly 

 globe shaped, are heavier and ?.re equally 

 as firm, smooth and suitable for shipping. 

 The fruits are of good size throughout tlie 

 season, which is unusually long for so 

 early a variety.

FONDEROSA. — Although not new, still 

 we consider it worth mentioning, as a good 

 many of our customers are looking for 

 quantity as well as quality, and they are 

 combined in the Ponderosa Tomato. The 

 vines are strong and vigorous, fruit smooth 

 and free from ridges and skin firm. Its 

 color is a rich crimson. The fruit varies 

 in weight from two to three pounds. It is 

 a splendid variety for home use. 



LIVINGSTON'S PERFECTION.— A very 

 desirable early variety, which is more 

 largely grown than any of its class. The 

 fruit is almost . round, ripens clear up to 

 the stem, is solid and rich in flavor; the 

 skin is both thin and tough, making it a 

 good shipper, while its clear, bright scar- 

 let color makes it very attractive in 

 appearance. 



E/IRLT LARGE SMOOTH RED.— An 



early kind of medium size; smooth and pro- 

 ductive.
