VARIETIES. 
\ 
Acme. Seed from Vaughan. Tiiis variety is more 
generally cultivated for market than any other. It is pro¬ 
ductive, early, fruits large, smooth, color a dark red, solid, 
and a good shipper. It is largely grown at the south for the 
northern markets. 
Aristocrat. Seed from Livingston, the originator. A 
dwarf variety more erect than Dwarf Champion, a strong, 
stocky grower, and early. It possesses the advantage of 
ripening its fruit rapidly, a desirable feature in a market sort. 
The fruits are of a medium size, smooth and solid, and of a 
beautiful scarlet color. Aristocrat has proven to be the best 
dwarf variety that we have tested. 
Atlantic Prize. Seed from Vaughan. A variety which 
originated in New Jersey, a few years ago. The chief and 
only merit of the kind is its earliness, it being one of the 
very first to ripen; fruits of medium size, generally rough, 
color, a shade of scarlet; rather tender, will not sell when 
smooth varieties are offered in competition. 
Bea^ity. Seed from Vaughan. This popular variety was 
originated and introduced a few years since by Livingston, 
the tomato specialist of the country. The type is well estab¬ 
lished. Its season is medium early, fruits large, roundish, 
smooth, and firm, color, as in Acme; productive, and regarded 
as one of the very best sorts for market and canning. 
Bond's Early Minnesota. Seed from Iowa Seed Co. An 
early variety, which is only fairly productive; fruits small, 
roundish, smooth, medium solid, color of Acme. There are 
other early varieties much better than this. 
Buckeye State. Seed from Livingston. This is another 
of Livingston’s productions, though not one that can be 
recommended for general cultivation, as it is late and ripens 
very slowly. Where the season is long it would, no doubt, 
prove very desirable. The fruits are of the largest size, 
regular, roundish, very smooth, fairly solid, color of Acme. 
Cliemin Market. Seed from Vaughan. This is a variety 
of French origin, medium early in ripening, very productive, 
fruits of medium size, oblong roundish, very uniW’ni, 
remarkably smooth, fairly solid, of a light scarlet color. This 
is an excellent variety for home use, but has not been 
sufficiently tested to be recommended as a market sort. 
Comrade. Seed from Gregory & Son. A variety which 
originated in New England. Its season is second early, 
ripening with Beauty; fruits of fair size, roundish, smooth.
