 most growers of flue Tomatoes to give it a liberal trial. It is of beau-

 som) fi-uits, which permits of a greater number of slices being taken 

 thau with Ikit-footed sorts. Among the very first to ripen, althougli

 jointed, branching plants in great abundance— literally loaded with 

 fruit. A goo<l general cropper, and one of tbe very best for green 

 h<^iise gi'owing or first early crop on stakes or trellis. An entirely 

 distinct and fixed new sort. Every grower of Livingston's New Globe, 

 whether l>o grows fpr privateer market purposes, will be pleased with 

 the beautiful and attractive globe-shaped fruit. Pkt. 10 cts,, % oz.

THZ EARLIEST LARGE SMOOTH RED TOMATOES 



The introducer of this new Tomato says : Very early Tomatoes 

 have ol' lute years been such a profitable crop that almost every grower 

 in Sou-born New Jersey boasts, with move or lcss justice, tbat he has 

 the earliest Tomato. This Tomato is remarkablenot only forits oarli- 

 ness, but for its very lary^e size, handsome shape and bright red color.

 first i)ickings $725 clear of freight and commissions. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 30 cts., M lb. $1, lb. $3.

MATCHLESS Tomato 



VERY BEST LARGE-FRUITED BRIGHT RED TOMATO 



The Matchless is worthy of its name; in beaxity of coloring and sym- 

 metry of form, it is indeed without a peer. The vines are of a strong, vig- 

 orous growtb, well set with fruit; tbe foliage is very rich dark green in color. 

 Tliey are entirely free from core, of a rich cardinal -red color, and are not 

 liable to crack from wet weather. The fruits ai-e of tbe largest size, which 

 size is maintained throughout the season, the healthy growth of foliage con- 

 tinuing until killed by frost. Extra large scarlet fruits, smooth, hand- 

 some and marketable. The flesh is so firm that ripe specimens picked from 

 the vine will keep in good marketable condition for two weeks. Pkt. 9 

 cts., oz. 25 cts.,Mlb. 75 cts.i lb. $2.50. 



LIVINGSTON'S DWAKF STONE TOMATOES 



TOMATO 



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

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

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

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

 color and astonishingly hcaA'-y. Pkt. 5 cts., oz. 20 cts., 341b. 60 cts., 

 lb. $2.00. 



™o,, DWARF STONE 



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

 oT 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. Tbis was under field cultivation on fai-m 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. Ifc is fully as prolific, and consequeiitly 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 acres, and where. economy in saving 

 land must be taken into account. Pkt. 10 cts., oz. 25 cts., 34 lb. 90 cts^, ' 

 lb. $3, by mail, postpaid.
