Tomato, Livingston's 



DWARF STONE 



This new variety from Livingston, resembles Dwarf Champion, but is 

 of stronger growth and more erect. The fruit resembles Livingston's Stone 

 in color, shape and what is more remarkable, for an erect sort it is practically 

 same size. Ten fruits picked from one vine at same time weighed five 

 pounds, three ounces. Five fruits selected by eye for average size weighed 

 two pounds, nine ounces. This was under field cultivation on farm land, 

 with no fertilizer. Specimens weighing one pound each are quite common. 

 The New Dwarf Stone is fully double the size of Dwarf Champion, and yet 

 equally as early. It is fully as prolific, and consequently vastly more pro- 

 ductive. We consider this one of our best productions, one that will meet 

 with general favor ; especially will this be true with the class of growers 

 whose gardening is limited to a few aci-es, and where economy in saving 

 land must be taken into account. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., %lb. 90 cts., 

 lb. $3, by mail, postpaid. 



M atchless Tomato 



VERY BEST LARGE-FRUITED BRIGHT RED TOMATO 



The Matchless is worthy of its name ; in beauty of coloring and symmetry 

 of form, it is indeed without a peer. The vines are of strong, vigorous 

 growth, well set with fruit; the foliage is very rich dark green in color. The 

 engraving accurately shows the foi-m and also the remarkable solidity of a 

 section. They are entirely free from core, of a rich cardinal-red color, and 

 are not liable to crack from wet weather. The fruits are of the largest size, 

 which size is maintained throughout the season, the healthy growth of 

 foliage continuing until killed by frost. Had we to confine ourselves to one 

 variety it would be the Matchless, for certainly no other Tomato will produce 

 a full crop of extra-large scarlet fruits, so smooth, handsome and market- 

 able as the Matchless. The flesh is so firm that ripe specimens picked from 

 the vine will keep in good marketable condition for two weeks, Pkt. 5 

 cts., oz. 25 cts., Hlb. 75 cts., lb. $2.50. 



STONE Tomato 



This is the heaviest and most solid fruited of the large tomatoes of 

 good quality. Our stock is distinctly superior to most of that offered under 

 this name, being more uniform, better colored and larger. Vines vigorous 

 and productive. Fruit round, apple-shaped, very large, very deep red in 

 color and astonishingly heavy. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 25 cts., ^Ib. 75 cts., 

 lb. $2.50. 



Tomato 



A TOSV5ATO WITH MERIT 



The earliest smooth Tomato in cultivation. The 

 illustration shows the wonderful smoothness and solidity 

 of this early Tomato with its small seed cavities. With- 

 out the slightest exaggeration we can safely say that this 

 new Tomato is all that can be desired, either for market 

 or home use, the gardener usually securing the highest 

 price before his neighbor has Tomatoes fit to sell. The 

 vines are stronger and more vigorous than most sorts, 

 and bear in clusters of four and five large, handsome, 

 deep purple fruits, which are of a delightful flavor, 

 and for solidity and smoothness can not be excelled 

 by any variety now in cultivation. It is useless to mis- 

 represent a vegetable which so quickly tells its own story. 

 In our trials it proved to be the earliest and smoothest 

 Tomato in all varieties tested. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 

 cts., Jib. 90 cts., lb. $3, sent postpaid, by mall.
