HOME VEGETABLE GARDENING 
TOMATOES— SPECIAL SALAD SORTS 
A MONG these two distinct types deserve considera- 
tion. There are the small-fruited red sorts best 
served quartered, as a salad, and the yellow kinds which 
lend more beauty than flavor to a dish of sliced tomatoes 
of the larger kinds. 
Foremost among the small-fruited red sorts stands 
Comet , a phenomenal yielder of globe-shaped fruits the 
size of a large plum. It is very meaty and of fine flavor, 
ripening within no days. Livingstons Hummer grows 
beautiful clusters of ten to twelve globe-shaped fruits 
averaging as large as a hen’s egg. 
Among the different yellow sorts, Livingston s Golden 
Queen, after nearly forty years, still maintains unques- 
tioned leadership. (See illustration.) It is a large- 
fruited sort, matures in 1 15-120 days after sowing and, 
like most yellow sorts, can claim but little flavor. 
Livingston’ s Dzvarf Yellow Prince is the yellow counter- 
part of Dwarf Champion among the purple sorts.
