Livingston’s Globe is an extra-good, all¬ 
round sort, of a distinct globe shape or elon-

i mits a great number of slices to be mad©

always smooth, of firm flesh and few seeds; 
[ ripens evenly; color, a fine glossy rose, tinged 
i with purple, and without the slightest tinge 
of yellow when ripe. It is exceedingly pro- 
I ductive. In quality there is nothing more to

| licious flavor. May be picked quite green; 
I will carry to distant markets in excellent 
shape and ripen up uniformly. Pkt., 10 cts.;
