TOMATO 
LIVINGSTON'S . 
THE LATEST INTRODUCTION 
The fact that this is another new Tomato, originating with the Liv- 
ingston's of world-wide Tomato fame, will be sufficient to warrant most 
growers of fine Tomatoes to give it a liberal trial. It is of beautiful 
globe-shape, with quite a percentage of elongated (stem to blossom) 
fruits, which permits of a greater number of slices being taken than 
with flat-fruited sorts. Among the very first to ripen, although of large 
size, very smooth, firm-fleshed, few seeds, ripens evenly ; color a beau- 
tiful glossy rose, tinged purple. Flavor very delicate and agreeable ; 
splendid slicing variety. The fruit is borne on short-jointed, branch- 
ing plants in great abundance — literally loaded with fruit. A good 
general cropper, and one of the very best for greenhouse growing or 
first early crop on stakes or trellis. An entirely distinct and fixed new 
sort. Every grower of Livingston's New Globe, whether he grows for 
private or market purposes, will be pleased with the beautiful and at- 
tractive globe-shaped fruit. Pkt. 10 cts., Joz. 30 cts., oz. 50 cts., 
£Ib. $1. 50, lb. $5.

LIVINGSTON S GLOBE TOMATO 
Early Jewel tomato 
THE LARGEST, SMOOTHEST, AND FINEST 
FLAVORED EARLY TOMATO IN CULTIVATION 
The fruits are uniformly large and thick through, very solid, and of fine quality. The plants are very productive, and it is one of the best. 
Tomatoes to grow for main-crop. This Tomato we can recommend as an excellent sort for gardeners. The large handsome fruits are very solid! 
and deep through, being almost round or ball-shaped. An average specimen will measure three and a half inches across by nearly three inches in. 
depth from stem to blossom end. Color, brightest scarlet, ripening right up to the stem without any cracks or green core. The foliage is rather 
open, admitting' the sunlight to the center of each plant, so that all the fruits are thoroughly ripened ; but the leaves are dark green and not in- 
clined to curl as in most other extreme-early varieties. The thick flesh is bright scarlet, very solid, with comparatively few seeds, and of fine* 
sweet flavor ; skin thin but sufficiently strong to make it a good shipper. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 35 cts., |lb. $1, lb. $3.75, postpaid.

SPARKS' EARLIANA TOMATO 
THE EARLIEST LARGE SMOOTH 
RED TOMATOES 
The introducer of this new Tomato says : Very early 
Tomatoes have of late years been such a profitable 
crop that almost every grower in southern New Jer- 
sey beasts, with more or less justice, that he has the 
earliest Tomato. We have for years watched with a. 
good deal of interest the first shipments to reach 
Philadelphia markets, and were not a little surprised 
to find, during the season of 1899, a new variety from. 
Mr. Geo. G. Sparks in a full week ahead of all others. 
We immediately arranged with Mr. Sparks to save us 
some seed, paying a very high price for the same, 
which we offered for sale in a small way in our cata- 
logue last year. This Tomato is remarkable not only 
for its earliness, but for its very large size, handsome^ 
shape and bright red color. Its solidity and fine qual- 
ity are quite equal to the best medium and late sorts.. 
From less than 4,000 hills Mr. Sparks realized from 
y his first pickings $725 clear of freight and commis- 
sions. 
Sparks' Earliana contains only about one-fourth the seed of 
her varieties, and, although we had a large acreage planted last 
sason, our stock is limited. Pkt. 10c, oz. 30c, |lb, $1, lb. $3.
