rich color, being scarcely any lighter. The 
pulp is very thick, with comparatively tew 
seeds, and absolutely no green core. In 
shape the Cardinal is nearly round and uni¬ 
formly smooth, without any ridges. It is as 
early as any good Tomato, and much larger 
in size than Livingston’s Perfection. It has 
less acidity than other Tomatoes, and is of 
superior flavor. The fruits are firm and 
solid, and keep well. The plants, of vigor¬ 
ous growth, are comparatively compact in 
habit, and bear abundantly throughout the 
entire Summer, the fruits continuing to be 
large and fine. Per packet, 5 cents; ounce,

Livingston’s New Favorite. —This Tomato is de¬ 
scribed as follows by the originator: “The 
Favorite has several advantages over my oth¬ 
er varieties. It is smoother than the Para¬ 
gon, and never hollow late in the season. I 
had Tomatoes ripen in July, and the same vines had an abundant crop on them 
September 22d. Does not crack after ripening, like the Acme. It is of a darker 
red than the Perfection, and is larger than either. It has very few seeds, is ripe 
all through at once, and is very productive. It will bear shipping finely, and 
for canning cannot be excelled. It is heavy in proportion to its size.” Per 
packet, 5 cents, ounce, 20 cents, one-fourth pound, 60 cents, pound. $2.00.

to be all claimed for it, and is to-day, both in America and England, univer¬ 
sally admitted, by all who have grown it, to be one of the most perfect varieties 
known. The vines are of strong, healthy growth, and are completely laden with 
fruit, thickly set in clusters. The Tomatoes are very handsome, of a deep, rich 
color, always perfect in shape and smoothness. The skin is as clear and rich as 
the most beautiful wax-work. Remarkably solid, with absolutely no green core 
and very few seeds. They are uniformly of good size, of the color of the Acme, 
but averaging much larger. Ripen all through and completely to the stem. 
Never crack, and are always free from deep-ribbed specimens. They mature 
early and bear continuously until frost. They are superior to most varieties, in 
fine quality and delicious flavor. They are good keepers and excellent to ship to 
market. Per packet, 5 cents, ounce, 30 cents, two ounces, 50 cents, one-fourth

TURNIPS. 
The Turnip delights in a light, rich, sandy loam, which has been well manured. 
For early use, sow in drills from twelve to sixteen inches apart, in the Spring; thin 
out to eight or nine inches in the rows. It sown broadcast they will also produce a 
fine crop. For a succession continue to sow every two weeks until June, then dis¬ 
continue until the middle of July. 
The Ruta Baga, or Swedish varieties, are grown principally for feeding stock, but 
are also excellent lor the table in the Spring. Sow in drills, two feet apart, from the 
middle of June until the first of August. When large enough to resist the attacks of 
Insects, thin out to stand eight inches apart in the rows. Keep them clear of weeds. 
One ounce will sow about 125 feet of drill; one and a half pounds will sow one acre.
