LIVINGSTON’S FAVORITE TOMATO. {New.) 
TOMATO 
German, Liebesapfel .— French, Tomate .— Spanish, Tomate . 
This vegetable is one of the most important of all garden products. The seed should be sown 
in a hot-bed about the first week in March, in drills five inches apart and half an inch deep. 
When the plants are about two inches high they should be set out four or five inches apart in 
another hot-bed, or removed into small pots, allowing a single plant to a pot; they arc sometimes 
transplanted a second time into 1 irger pots, by which process the plants are rendered more sturdy 
and branching. About the middle of May the plants may be set in the open ground ; they arc 
planted for early crops on light, sandy soil, at a distance of three feet apart, in hills in which a good 
shovelful of rotten manure has been mixed. On heavy soils, which arc not suited for an early 
crop, they should be planted four feet apart. Water freely at the time of transplanting, and 
shelter from the sun for a few days until the plants are established. Sufficient plants for a small 
garden may be started by sowing a few seeds in a shallow box or flower pot, and placing it in a 
sunny window of the room or kitchen.

Livingston’s Favorite. Three of the very best tomatoes ever introduced, the 
Paragon, Acme and Perfection, were originated by Mr. Livingston ; he 
now offers for the first time Livingston's Favorite, properly named in con¬ 
sequence of its containing so many of the good points sought after by 
market gardeners and other growers. It is the largest perfect shaped 
tomato in cultivation, smoother than the Paragon, does not crack or rot 
like the Acme, is a darker red than the Perfection ; ripens evenly and as 
early as any good variety, holding its size to the end of the season ; very 
prolific, good flavor, few seeds, flesh solid, bears shipping long distances *°5 . ; 3 °
