SPECIAL LIST OF VEGETABLE SEEDS. 
TOMATO. THE CARDINAL. 
This new Tomato, offered this year for the first time, is described by the introducer as a 
most remarkable variety. Early as any good variety, perfect in shape, uniformly smooth, of 
superior flavor, very solid, and of wonderful firmness. Its color is a most brilliant cardinal 
red, coloring right up to the calyx, and when ripe very glossy, appearing as if varnished ; 
a great bearer and long keeper, ripe fruits picked in midsummer have kept in fine condition 
from ten days to two weeks, which renders it a great acquisition to Market Gardeners, and for 
shipping purposes. Per Packet, 25 cents. 
TOMATO. ESSEX EARLY HYBRID. 
It is claimed by the introducer of this variety, that this is the handsomest shaped and most 
profitable Tomato for the market in cultivation, and will bear more marketable fruit than any 
other variety. It is very early, solid, rich-flavored, large in size, grows perfectly smooth, of a 
bright purplish crimson color, and is extremely productive. It possesses more of the impor- 
tant qualities of a perfect Tomato than any other known sort. It ripens all over alike, leav- 
ing no green spots around the stem, so objectionable in some other varieties. Resembles 
“ Acme ” in color and shape, but is darker. 
Per Packet, 10 cents. | Per Ounce, 40 cents. 
TOMATO. LIVINGSTON’S FAVORITE. 
A new variety, sent out by Mr. Livingston, the introducer of the three remarkable varie- 
ties, if A erne," “ Paragon,” and “ Perfection .” He names it “Favorite" in consequence 
of its containing so many of the good points sought after by Market Gardeners and other 
growers, and describes it as the largest f>erfect-shaf>ed Tomato in cultivation; smoother than 
the Paragon; does not crack or rot like the Acme; is a darker red than the Perfection; ripens 
evenly, and as early as any good variety, holding its size to the end of the season; very pro- 
lific, good flavor, few seeds, flesh solid, and bears shipping long distances. 
Per Packet, 10 cents. | Per Ounce, 40 cents. 
TOMATO. LIVINGSTON’S PERFECTION. 
One of the best varieties, of blood-red color, perfectly smooth, with few seeds, ripens all 
over and through at the same time, a good shipper, and for canning purposes is not excelled 
by any other. It is larger than Acme, and earlier than Acme or Paragon. 
Per Packet, 5 cents. | Per Ounce, 40 cents. 
TOMATO. “MAYFLOWER.” 
This new variety is recommended as one of the earliest large Tomatoes cultivated. It is 
of a glossy, bright red color, so desirable in a market Tomato, and ripens evenly and perfectly 
up to the stem. Its shape is perfect, globular, slightly flattened, and perfectly smooth; flesh 
solid, unusually free from seeds, and of rich, excellent flavor. In productiveness it is not 
excelled by any other sort, and is an excellent shipper, bearing a large amount of handling 
without injury. 
Per Packet, 10 cents. | Per Ounce, 40 cents. 
TURNIP. VERY EARLY MILAN PURPLE-TOP. 
A new flat-shaped, strap-leaved variety, with white flesh, skin white under ground and 
purple red above. Its special value consists in its earliness, which is remarkable, being two 
to three weeks earlier than any other variety — a quality which admits of much later fall sow- 
ing with certainty of crop than the common fall sorts, as well as useful for very early crops. 
Per Packet, 10 cts. | Per Ounce, 15 cts. | Per Pound, $1.00.
