lii Kingston'!* Beauty.— A de- 

 cided favorite for home market or ship- 

 ping purposes, being early, hardy, a 

 strong grower, productive, large size, 

 always smooth, perfect in shape and 

 excellent in quality. The color is a very 

 glossy crimson with a tingue of purple. 

 It grows in clusters of four to six large 

 fruits, retaining its large size late in the 

 season. It ripens with Acme and Per- 

 fection, and is entirely free from ribbed 

 and elongated fruit. - It is very firm 

 fleshed, has a tough skin and but few 

 seeds. It seldom rots or cracks afier a 

 rain like many of the tender skinned 

 sons. For shipping and early market 

 it cannot be excelled, on account of sol- 

 idty, toughness of skin, and especially 

 its handsome color ; it can be picked 

 quite green, and look well and ripen up 

 nicely, will keep perfectly for a week 

 after it is ripe. Used largely by market- 

 men and long distance shippers every- 

 where. Pkt. 5c. Oz. 20c. % lb. 40c.
