J. STECKLER SEED CO.,, 
LTD., ALMANAC AND 
LIVINGSTON’S ACME.—One of 
the prettiest and most solid Toma- 
toes ever introduced. It is of me- 
dium size, round and very smooth, 
strong grower, and a good and 
long bearer. It is the perfection 
of Tomatoes for family use, but 
will not answer for shipping pur- 
poses; the skin is too tender, and > 
cracks when fully ripe. Of all the 
varieties introduced none has sur- 
passed this kind when all quali- 
ties are brought into considera- 
tion. It does well about here 
where the ground is heavy. 
LARGE YELLOW. This is 
similar in shape to the Large 
Red, but more solid. 
SPARE’S EARLIANA.—The 
earliest large smooth Tomato in 
the world. Of large uniform size 
and beautiful red color. MRipens 
thoroughly all over, the stem end 
coloring up _ perfectly. Almost 
seedless and as solid as a beef- 
steak. Most vigorous grower. A 
prodigious bearer, continuing 
until frost. 
LIVINGSTON’S PARAGON.—A very 
solid variety, of a bright crimson color. It 
is productive and keeps long in bearing. 
Well adapted for shipping. 
MATCHLESS.— A _ tall-growing, prolific . 
variety with large fruit, which is rather 
flattened, smooth and _ uniform. Color, 
bright scarlet. For canning and _ general 
main crop market there is no better tomato 
grown. 
LIVINGSTON’S BEAUTY.—tThis variety 
is quite distinct in color, being a very 
glossy crimson with a light tinge of purple 
(lighter than the Acme). It ripens with 
the Acme or Paragon, but keeps longer. 
It is very perfect in shape and does not 
crack, like some of the thin skinned sorts.

Livingston’s Favorite. 
LIVINGSTON’S FAVORITE.—This To- 
mato is as perfect in shape and as solid 
as the Acme, but much larger, and of a 
handsome dark red color. We had some 
sent to our store by a customer, and they 
surely were the finest specimens of toma- 
toes we ever saw, and were admired by 
everybody who saw them. They will keep 
well, and do not crack. It has become the 
standard variety for this market. 
LIVINGSTON’S STONE.— An _ excellent 
variety; one of the best and most desirable 
for our truck farmers. Thousands of 
bushel boxes are annually shipped from 
Florida to Southern and Northern markets, 
and no variety gives better satisfaction 
than this. For shipping it cannot be sur- 
passed. The fruit is of the handsomest, 
brightest scarlet; more globular in shape 
than the Beauty or Favorite, and perfectly 
smooth and glossy. One of the best varie- 
ties for our climate. Recommended by the 
Louisiana Agricultural Experiment Station 
for canning. 
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. 
EARLY DETROIT.—The vine is more 
vigorous than that of Acme and is more 
productive. Not only are more fruits pro- 
duced, but they average more, nearly 
globe shaped, are heavier and are equally 
as firm, smooth and suitable for shipping. 
The fruits are of good size throughout the 
season, which is unusually long for so 
early a variety. 
PONDEROSA.—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. 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 
<ood shipper. while its clear, bright scar- 
let color makes it very attractive in 
appearance. 
EARLY LARGE SMOOTH RED.—An 
early kind of medium size, smooth and pro- 
ductive. 
For Blight on Tomato Plants:—Use Grasselli’s Bordeaux Lead Arsenate Mixture Paste, 
10 pounds to 50 gallons of water. and spray freely until disease disappears.
