Livin;^ston*s Glob© Tomato 
LIVINGSTON’S GLOBE TOMATO 
A variety that has become very popular with Florida shippers during 
the past two years. We have grown a few hundred pounds ot seed this 
])ast season from original stock from Livingston. We find it one of the 
earliest, fruits smooth and of good size, firm llesh and few seeds. > 
productive of fruit, being short-jointed and clusters of fruit form at each 
loint. Fruits are of right size and shape to pack well for shipment. Color 
of skin purplish red, about the same shade as our Kedheld Beauty. Our 
experience with this variety, both in our own crop and by observation of 
market crops in several sections is that about one-half of the fruits come 
the true globe shape, the balance are rather flattened but much thicker 
proportionately than other standard varieties. We make this explana¬ 
tion as many who grow it for the first time are milled by the name given 
it and expect all the fruits to be globe-shaped. Even with this irregu¬ 
larity in the shape of fruit it is a good variety of extra early tomato, es- 
]»ecially for shipment. Packet, 10 cents; ^ ounce, 20 cents; ounce, dO 
cents; % pound, 90 cents; pound, S3.00; postpaid. 
Hastings’ Improved Purple Acme pi^ilmrirone of 
the finest varieties on our list, a big Improvement over the old Acme 
which was so popular everywhere. It is one of the very earliest, is almost 
round and has a thin, but very tough skin. Our Improved Acme is a very 
heavy bearer and ripens evenly all over. It has a lovely purplish shade 
ot color which makes it especially desirable as a market and shipping va¬ 
riety. Has few seeds, is thick, meaty and soli'l. You will find It a most 
desirable sort for either market or home use, with its fine color and flavor.

Chalk’s Early Jewel 
CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL 
We find this splendid variety to be one of the best extra early sorts. 
It is within one week of being as early as the famous Earliana and is far 
suiierior, the fruits being uniformly larger, thicker through, more solid 
and of much finer quality than any of the extra early tomatoes. The 
fruits are very deep through from stem to blossom end, being almost 
round or ball shaped and from 3 to 334 inches in diameter. The interior 
portion is very solid and fleshy, with very few seeds, the seed cells being 
very small and the fruits neailv all soli<i flesh: quality is exceptionally 
sweet and free from acidity. Our seed is grown from original stock, none 
better to be had. I’aeket, 10 cents; 3^ ounce, 15 cents; ounce, 26 cents; 
pound. 75 cents; pound, $2..50.
