LIVINGSTON'S COBELESS. The most per- 

 fect shaped canning variety ever produced. 

 Large size globe-shaped, full at stem end 

 bright red, a strong grower and bg crop- 

 per. In shape it is almost round. The 

 depression at the stem end has been al- 

 most eliminated, making it the most prof- 

 itable 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. Al- 

 waya 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 ren- 

 der it a very firm fruit and one of the 

 best for long distance hauling or shipping. 

 Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., & lb. 75 cts.

HUSK TOMATO 



IMPROVED GROUND CHERRY, or STRAW- 

 BERRY. Grows enclosed in a husk, excel- 

 lent for preserves; will keep within husks 

 all winter. This is well worth growing 

 for preserves, both on account of its fine 

 quality and immense productiveness. The 

 fruit has a pleasant strawberry-like flavor, 

 and is much esteemed and by some con- 

 sidered indispensable for pies, sauces, etc., 

 both green and dry. With the addition of 

 lemon juice it is frequently preserved like 

 plums as well as stewed and served like 

 cranberries. Per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts. 



Spark's Earliana Tomato 



This new and valuable Tomato 

 comes from a well-known New Jer- 

 sey market gardener. It is claimed 

 to be a full week ahead of all others. 

 The past season in our trial grounds 

 side by side with all the leading so- 

 called early kinds, it was several 

 days ahead in ripening. This tomato 

 is not only remarkable for its earli- 

 ness, but for its large size, handsome 

 shape and bright red color. Its sol- 

 idity and fine quality are equal to the 

 best medium and late sorts. Price 

 per pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., *4 lb. 75
