(HALF SECTION), "PERFECTION " TOMATO. 



NEW TOMATO— "PERFECTION." 



Two of the very best Tomatoes of late years, the Acme and Paragon, were orignated by Mr. Liv- 

 ingstone, to whom we are also indebted for this new variety. His opinion, therefore, is entitled to 

 consideration when he states that he considers the Perfection far ahead in every respect of the two 

 well known sorts that have done him so much credit. The fruit of Perfection is larger in size than 

 the Acme, and a little smaller than the Paragon ; color, blood red ; it is as early as the Canada Victor 

 i one of the first to ripen), almost round in shape, perfectly smooth, and very solid of the best quality, 

 enormously productive, bearing all through the season until frost. As it is very solid, and has a tough 

 skin, it will be found very valuable for shipping purposes, and it has the further merit of ripening all 

 over and through at the same time We are glad to be able to announce that in our trials this new 

 variety has fully maintained the high opinion formed of it by its originator. 



Price, IT cts. per packet; 50 cts. per ounce; $1.50 per }£ lb.; $5.00 per lb.

 abundant bearer, ripening all over evenly with no green spots around the stem. Entirely solid and

EXTRA EARLY PLBPLE TOP MUNICH TFRN1P 



PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE TURNIP. 



TURNIP— EXTRA EARLY PURPLE TOP MUNICH. 



Our illustration conveys a good idea of this new Turnip, which has a purplish red top. flesh white 

 as snow, attains a fair size and possesses an excellent flavor. From our experience with it for two 

 seasons now, we think it must occupy the same place among Turnips that the Egyptian variety 

 does among the Beet family — that of being the earliest of all. We have seen whole fields cf the Purple 

 Top Munich Turnip that have been fit to dig at least two weeks before any other sort could be 

 touched. ("See Special Prizes in Introductory. ")

TURNIP— PURPLE TOP WHITE GLOBE. 



An early variety of globular form as shown in our engraving, in other respects similar to the well- 

 known Red Top Strap Leaf. It make 4 a handsome looking bulb, and is rapidly taking the lead of all 

 other varieties of early Turnip for market garden purposes, as it is an enormous cropper.
