LIVINGSTON NEW 
GLOBE. — This new 
variety was offered 
ifor the first time last 
spring, and sold in 
packets only, at 20c. 
each,packets contain¬ 
ing forty seed! The 
illustr a tion is 
a photograph from 
tomatoes of my own 
growing, the larger 
one in the illustra¬ 
tion weighing seven¬ 
teen ounces. This to¬ 
mato is very produc¬ 
tive, of very fine 
quality and is thicker 
from stem to blossom 
end than any other 
tomato grown. The 
elants are robust and 
hanfy, making large 
growth, wnicb is well 
loaded with hand¬ 
some tomatoes. The 
originator describes 
it as follows: “Of 
beautiful globe 
shape, with quite a 
percentage o f elon¬ 
gated (stem to blos¬ 
som) fruits, which 
permits a greater 
number of slices be¬ 
ing taken than with 
the flat fruited sorts. 
It is early to ripen, 
although of large size, 
very smooth, firm 
flesh, few seed, ripens 
evenly; color a beau¬ 
tiful glossy rose ting- Livingston js t ew globe, 
ed with purple; flavor very 
delicate and agreeable: the 
fruit is born on short joints, 
blanching plants in great 
abundance; a good general 
cropper, and one of the best 
for green house growing, or 
for early crop on stakes or 
trellises. It is an entirely 
distinct and fine new type. 
Every grower of Living- 
ton’s New Globe,whetner for 
private or market purpose, 
will be pieased with the 
beautiful and attractive 
globe shape fruits. No one 
should fail to give it a trial.” 
I have a splendid stock of 
seed of my growing. Consid¬ 
ering the high price at which 
it was introduced last season. 
I am offering it very low, 
Pkt. 10c.; oz. 50c; quarter- 
pound $1.50; pound $5.00. 
ALLEN’S BEST.—This is 
withont exception the finest 
large red tomato that I have 
ever seen grow here or else¬ 
where. The season is med¬ 
ium early, the color is a 
beautifnliy red, reminding 
one of red velvet: the fruit 
is the most firm of any toma¬ 
to that I have ever grown. 
It will bear shipping further 
than any other variety. I 
say this without hesitation, 
and to any person who buys 
seed to grow tomatoes for 
market and can successfully 
contradict this statement, I 
will return him the money 
paid me f<»r seed. I have 
shipped it to Boston by ex¬ 
press (which is about the 
hardest test that could be 
given any tomato) and had it 
it sell at $1.50 per crate when 
other varieties would not 
pay transportation charges,
