New Early June Tomato 



LIVINGSTON'S NEW CORELESS 



TOMATO 



The Most Perfect Shaped Canning Va- 

 riety Ever Produced. Large Size 

 Globe-Shaped, Full at Stem End 

 Bright Red, a Strong Grower 

 and Big Cropper 



In shape it is almost round, being of about 

 the same diameter 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 im- 

 mensely 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. Al- 

 ways 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 dis- 

 tance hauling or shipping. 



Price per pkt. 5 cts., ^ oz. 15 cts., oz. 25 

 cts., 1/4 lb. $1.00. 



The Greatest New Tomato in Twenty- 

 five Years, Earlier than Earliana, as 

 Smooth and Highly Coloured as 

 Stone, as Meaty, Solid and 

 Seedless as Ponderosa 



This strong claim is made by the intro- 

 ducer of this variety. This statement can 

 be backed up with tests made in different 

 states. The past summer we made compar- 

 ative tests again with some of the earliest 

 varieties lately introduced and the Early 

 June came out ahead by full three days over 

 all. It is a heavy yielder and holds up its 

 size till near the end of the season. 



This Tomato originated with the Rev. W. 

 H. Rust, who lives in Northern Missouri. 

 For several years he has been trying to get 

 a Tomato that would be earlier and better 

 than anything else in the list. The Early 

 June Tomato is the result of his 20 years' 

 patient experimenting. 



Here is Rev. Rust's brief description of 

 this variety: "I believe it to be the earliest 

 of all. Not only is it early, but large. In 

 color it is crimson red and very attractive. 

 It is almost seedless, the flesh thick and firm, 

 and the flavor delicious. I have marketed it 

 here for four years past and have never had 

 a complaint on quality, and have received 

 an average price of cts. per pound for 

 the whole season. 



Price per pkt. 10 cts., 2 pkts. 15 cts., ^ oz. 

 20 cts., oz. 35 cts., 14 lb. $1.00.
