VARIETIES. 
Acme. Seed from \ aughan. This 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. 
i j? . . e from Livingston, the originator. A 
dwait variety more erect than Dwarf Champion, a strong, 
stocky grower, and early. It possesses the advantage of 
t? 611 / 11 ^ 1 s fruit rapidly, a desirable feature in a market sort, 
i ie are °t 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 Arize. Seed from Vaughan. A variety which 
oiiginated m Aew Jersey, a few years ago. The chief and 
° , ? neri t of the kind is its earliness, it being one of the 
very first to ripen; fruits of medium size, generally rough, 
co oi, a sha.de of scarlet; rather tender, will not sell when 
smooth varieties are offered in competition. 
Beauty. Seed from Vaughan. This popular variety was 
onginated and introduced a few years since by Livingston, 
p? tomato specialist of the country. The type is well estab-

smooth, and firm, color, as in Acme; productive, and regarded 
as one of the very best sorts for market and canuing. 
Bond's Early Minnesota. Seed from Iow a 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.

of Livingstons productions, though not one that can be 
ie com mended for general cultivation, as it is late and ripens

pio\e very desirable. The fruits are of the largest size, 
legular, roundish, very smooth, fairly solid, color of Acme. 
Chemin Market. Seed from Vaughan. This is a variety 
or r rench origin, medium early in ripening, very productive, 
i nits of medium size, oblong roundish, very uniform,

is an excellent variety for home use, but has rot been 
sufficiently tested to be recommended as a market sort.

originated in iSew England. Its season is second early,
