LIVINGSTON'S FAVORITE Originated with Mr Livmg-ston, who also introduced 

 the Acme and Paragon, and presents this as the largest perfect shaped tomato in cultiva- 

 tion. On our Trial Grounds, and in the hands of many others who have tested it during- 

 the past season, it has proven not only the largest and handsomest, but one of the best in 

 quality of any on our list. Vine medium, with large, dark green, healthy leaves, having- 

 numerous clusters of from three to seven vei'y large, smooth tomatoes which are a rich, 

 dark red color, oval outline, exceedingly 'smooth, free from all cracks or blemishes, and 

 ripening evenly throughout ; flesh very firm but without green spots. This variety seems 

 remarkably free from rot, and must become a favorite with all who try it. Our stock of 

 seed is direct from the originator. 



^p^We are testing a new tomato, which, if it does as well as it has in the past, will prove to be far in advance 

 «f anything now cultivated, and we hope to be able to offer it next season. 



Essex Hybrid. — A new variety similar to the Acrae, 

 but with larger, darker colored fruit, which is always 

 smooth and handsome. Quality among the best. An 

 improved Acme. 



Paragon. — Vine very large, vigorous and productive, 

 and continuin,: -o v.ntil killed by frost. Fruit large, 



Trophy 



round, of a very dark, rich crimson scarlet color, with 

 occasionally a purplish tmge. It ripens up evenly, and 

 the flesh is thick and fine flavored. 



Livingston's Perfection. — A new variety, similar 

 to the last, but an improvement upon it, it being a little 

 earlier, and invariably smooth and handsome. It is 

 probably the handsomest tomato grown, and all who 

 have tried it pronounce it of the highest quality. 



Queen. — A new sort, very popular at the east for 



cann iit:. Vine very large and late, producing a large 



unity of very large, solid, well ripened fruit of fine 



irlet color, and which is so firm that it will staad 

 roi.gh usage better than any other large sort.

Fr. XaT-ct. — Ger. Rueben. 

 1 his wholesome and agreeable vegetable has been 

 cultivated from time immemorial, as a field crop, and is 

 one of the staple products of the farm. It is most easily 

 affected in its form and flavor by soil, climate, and mode 

 of culture. There are a great many varieties, but we have 

 selected the follnv.incr n<; the best for the garden or farm.
