Livingston's New 
Kew Tomato, Livingston's Beauty. 
Mr. A. W. Livingston, already famed as 
the originator of our four best tomatoes, 
Paragon, Acme, Perfection, and Favorite, 
wi l soon give the world another, concern¬ 
ing which he sends us the following de¬ 
scription : 
We offer this excellent new tomato with 
the utmost confidence, that it will prove all 
we claim for it and do not hesitate to pro-' 
nounce it as having no rival. We have ex¬ 
hibited it at a number of different fairs the 
past fall, had samples in our store almost 
constantly which have been carefully ex¬ 
amined by many dealers, growers and mar- 
ketmen, who, without a single exception, 
place it ahead of all others in point of size, 
shape, weight and beauty. Its very hand¬ 
some appearance, combined with its other 
superior qualities will certainly brake it a 
first-class selling variety. * 
For the past six months we have been 
frequently asked by dealers and customers, 
If we intended bringing out anything new 
| f° r 1886. This leads us to believe that no 
novelty list will be complete without offer¬ 
ing the Livingston’s Beauty. 
The color is quite distinct from any sort 
we are acquainted w r ith, being a very glossy 
crimson with a slight tinge of purple, 
(lighter than the Acme.) the color alone 
will bring it readily into favor in any mark¬ 
et. It grows in clusters of four or five 
large fruits, (on a strong vine,) retaining its 
large size very late in the season. This is 
an essential point in its favor, as many 
other good sorts decrease in size at least 
one-half before the season is over; this ia 
especially true of the Acme. 
Plants of the Acme transplanted on the 
same day with Livingston’s Beauty have 
decreased their fruit in size more than one- 
half, besides, the vines are quite dead, 
while the vines of the latter are still vigor¬ 
ous, and we have on our counters to-day, 
(October 15th,) large, perfect fruit. Con¬ 
sequently it is a very productive variety 
and we believe it will average, the season 
through, more pounds of fruit to the acre
