I/ivingvSton's Stone. An ex- 

 cellent variety, introduced about 

 five years ago, and found to be 

 one of the best and most desirable 

 for our truck farmers. In Florida, 

 where Tomatoes for shipping are 

 grown more extensively than in 

 Louisiana, and where touj>h skin- 

 ned varieties of good quality with 

 full, solid and tender flesh are the 

 most desirable, the Stone has been 

 selected as one of their principal 

 varieties. Thousands of bushel 

 boxes are annually shipped from 

 there to southern and northern 

 markets, and no variety has given 

 better satisfaction than this. The 

 Favorite and Beauty are excellent, 

 and the Perfection holds its place, 

 but the Stone is not only their 

 equal but in some points their superior. 

 For shipping it cannot be surpassed. The 

 fruit is of the handsomest brightest scarlet; 

 more globular in shape than the Beauty or 

 Favorite and perfectly smooth and glossy.

I NewPutple Cluster Tcmato. This 

 new and very distinct variety has been tried 

 up north where it gave entire satisfaction. 

 The fruit is of a very dark purplish red 

 color, grows in clusters and gets very large. 

 It ripens even and perfect to stem.
