New Stone. Seed from Vaughan. This is another of 
Livingston's productions, medium in time of ripening, fairly productive, fruits 
of good size, roundish, smooth, and very solid, light scarlet, an excellent shipper. 
Altogether this is a desirable sort. 
Northern Light. Seed from J. M. Thorburn & Co. A 
dwarf compact growing variety, introduced by Thorburn in 181)4. In this as 
in Meteor, the type does not seem to be well established; two forms of fruit 
were noted, one very small, smooth, bright scarlet; the other of good size, 
somewhat wrinkled at the stem, a shade of scarlet. 
Perfection. Seed from Vaughan. A variety originated 
by Livingston, medium early in season, fruits of good size, smooth and solid 
color as in Beauty. This is a popular sort wherever grown. 
Picture Rock. Seed from Iowa Seed Co. This new 
tomato was introduced by the Iowq Seed Co., in 1894. Its season is eaily, 
fairly productive, fruits of medium size, very regular and smooth, color a 
bright scarlet. The variety is worthy of trial. 
Potato Leaf. Seed from Michigan Agricultural College. 
This is a distinct variety originated by Livingston & Son, and introduced by 
them in 1887. The foliage resembles that of the potato, as the name implies. 
It is medium early, productive, ripens rapidly, fruits of medium size, ’veiy 
smooth and solid, color as in Beauty; a fine tomato for canning and maiket. 
Ponderosa. Seed from Peter Henderson & Co., who 
originated the variety, and introduced it in 1892. In 1893 the variety appeared 
to be not well fixed, there being four distinct types of fruit, but in 1894 e\eiy 
plant was true to the type. Its season is medium, fruits very large, some speci¬ 
mens weighing over a pound; quite smooth for so large a tomato, somewhat ridged 
about the stem, very solid, slow in ripening, color a pinkish purple. 
Puritan. Seed saved at Michigan Agricultural College, 
in 1888. A variety of New England origin, introduced by ltawson, of Boston. 
Its season is early, productive, fruit large, occasionally slightly furrowed about 
the stem, of a bright scarlet color, a desirable tomato of the scarlet class. 
Red Cross . Seed from Gregory & Son. A variety ripen¬ 
ing medium early, fairly productive, fruits of medium size, smooth, of a light 
scarlet, rather tender for much handling, though good for home use. Iheie 
are other varieties in the list that are far better. 
Rose Bud. Seed sent ns for trial by Hoover & Moore, of 
Antlers, Colorado. A strong growing variety of the Potato Leal class, 
productive, early, ripening as early as Vaughans Earliest of All, Bonds Laily 
Minnesota, and Atlantic Prize, and before Fordhook First, and Early Puby, 
although only a few days; the fruits are of good size, remarkably smooth, 
solid, color as in Acme and Beauty. W r e consider this a promising \aiiety.
