COLK'S NOVELTIES

Livingston's New 

 Coreless 



TOMATO 



The most perfect shaped Canning variety ever 

 produced. Large size, globe shaped, full 

 at stem end, bright red, a strong 

 grower and big copper. 



In shapo it is almost round, being of about the 

 same diatnctcr each way as shown in our illustration. 

 The depression at the stem end has been almost 

 eliminated, making it the most profitable variety 

 for canning, owing to a very small amount of waste. 

 It is immensely productive, clusters of four to seven 

 fruits are produced at six to eight inches apart along 

 the stem. All of the fruits are of marketable size, 

 and many of them are quite large, twelve to fifteen 

 ounces. Always free from green core; ripens all 

 over and through and right up under the stem, all at 

 once. A grand, good slicing variety; the seed cells 

 being surrounded by bright red, heavy, meaty and 

 delicious flesh. 



The strong outside and inner walls of flesh of 

 the Livingston's Coreless render it a very firm fruit 

 and one of the best for long distance hauling or 

 shipping. 



Offered this season in packets only. Packet 20 

 cts., 3 packets -50 cts., 7 for $1.00.

 beet as you can find. The root ia not' 

 large, averaging about 3 inches in

 iety where richness of color in both

 bined as in this sort. Color of flesh
