THE NEW STONE TOMATO. 
The New Stone Tomato ripens for main crop; is very large, and of bright scarlet 
color: very smooth, with 
occasionally a specimen very 
slightly octagon shaped, 
ripening evenly to the stem 
without a crack ; exceeding- 
ly solid and firm fleshed (as 
its name indicates) ; is an 
excellent shipper ; quality 
the very best; fine for can- 
ning; a good keeper; with- 
out hard core; not subject 
to rot; its appearance on 
market remarkably attrac- 
tive; a heavy variety, its 
vines and foliage rank and 
robust, heavily loaded with 
very uniform specimens of 
fruit. 
For five years this Tomato 
has been subjected to the 
most careful testing, and we 
have found it to possess sev 
oral superior qualities and 
distinct characteristics. We 
believe it to be the coming 
Tomato for market garden 
ers and canners. 
Above all, not subject 
to bot. — Prof. J. L. Budd, 
■of Iowa State Agricultural College, says : “ The Tomato Seed was planted in my private 
garden, and the fruit compared with many sorts at the Experimental Plantations. It was 
large enough, smooth, firm fleshed, and above all, not subject to rot. I did not see a rot- 
ten specimen, although a bad year for rot.” 15 cts. per packet, 25 cts. for 2 packets. 
LIVINGSTON 3 S GOLD COIN SWEET CORN. 
Remarkably distinct and handsome in appearance, in these respects exciting the ad- 
miration, not only of gardeners, but of professional seed growers, and is, without doubt, 
the most valuable variety ever introduced. Its enormous productiveness is enough to 
place it in advauce of any sort now grown ; it almost always yields two, and frequently 
three mammoth ears to the stalk. 10 cts. per pkt., 25 cts. per pt., 45 cts. per qt. 
IMPROVED CHARTIER RADISH. 
This is an early summer variety. Iu color a deep pink or crimson above, and gradu- 
ally blends into a pure waxy white to its roots, making it very attractive in appearance. 
In quality it is unsurpassed, being very tender and remaining so for a longer period than 
most other summer radishes after attaining its growth. It is specially adapted for mar- 
ket gardeners. 5 cts. per pkt., 10 cts. per oz., 20 cts. per Jq" lb., 65 cts. per lb. 
THE NEW GRAGG WATER- 
MELON. 
From the northern part of Texas and is 
justly famous in its native home; but how 
it originated is unknown. Some three or 
four years since, a customer in that State 
sent us a few seeds for trial. Unfortun- 
ately the correspondence has been mislaid, 
and hence we are unable to give credit. 
We have had it tested iu the north, south 
and west, and not a single unfavorable re- 
port. 10 cts. per plct., 20 cts. per oz., 85 
cts. per % lb., $8 per lb.
