Livingston’s Globe is an extra-good, all¬ 
round sort, of a distinct globe shape or elon¬ 
gated fruits. On account of its shape, it per¬ 
mits a great number of slices to be made 
from each fruit. We class it with the first 
early varieties. The fruits are of large size, 
and retained throughout the season. It is 
always smooth, of firm flesh and few seeds; 
ripens evenly; color, a fine glossy rose, tinged 
with purple, and without the slightest tinge 
of yellow when ripe. It is exceedingly pro¬ 
ductive. In quality there is nothing more to 
be desired, being mild, pleasant, and of de¬ 
licious flavor. May be picked quite green; 
will carry to distant markets in excellent 
shape and ripen up uniformlv. Pkt.. 10 ets.;
