TIEXE FAXOM 
We have rarely been so agreeably disappointed in any new vegetable as we have 
been with this new squash. After examining it on our trial grounds we told Mr. 
Reynolds, our head clerk, that it was terribly mixed and utterly worthless. 
At the personal solicitation of Mr. Faxon we were induced to cook several speci¬ 
mens, and then followed a revelation. Though varying in color, in quality they 
were all one, — fine grained, dry, sweet, excellent. It is certainly the best 
squash that has been sent into the market since the Sibley was introduced, and 
has the advantage over that in earliness. The strong and fixed characteristics 
of this squash are earliness, long keeping, uniformity of shape, variety of colors, 
and the excelling in richness, sweetness, and flavor. It is very productive, 
of medium size (five or six pounds), and is, no doubt, destined to become a stand¬ 
ard among squashes, both for home use and for general marketing. Even when 
not fully ripe it is of excellent quality as a summer squash. It is a good keeper, 
and has the exceptional recommendation of being a table delicacy during three 
seasons, — summer, fall, and winter. Mr. Joseph Stone states that for sweetness 
and dryness the Faxon squash cannot be excelled if equalled, and says he knows 
what he is talking about. Price per one fourth pound, $1.25 ; per ounce, 40 cts.; 
per package, 15 cts.. 
LIVINGSTON’S ARISTOCRAT TOMATO. 
This new bush tomato is the Dwarf Champion over again, except in color, 
the fruits being a bright glossy red instead of purple. Its dwarf habit makes 
it an excellent variety for forcing, while in the open ground it can be planted 
as near as three by three. These dwarf varieties pay roundly for extra heavy 
manuring; some of our best market gardeners for a general crop raise no 
other kind. Price per package, 15 cts. 
NEW BUCKEYE STATE TOMATO. 
Mr. Livingston, so famed for the many excellent tomatoes he has from time 
to time introduced, says of the Buckeye: “It is the largest fruited variety we 
have ever put out. In addition to its extra large size, it is also smooth and uni¬ 
form, and, though so large, is the heaviest cropper we have ever grown. 
It yields immense 
clusters of from 
four to ten fruits. 
In solidity and 
meatiness it is un¬ 
excelled, while in 
luscious quality 
none surpass it.” 
We raised the Buck¬ 
eye on our trial 
grounds last sea¬ 
son, and found 
Mr. Livingston’s 
claims so well 
borne out we have resolved to catalogue it. It is a late variety, in 
shape half-way between the flat-round and spherical, thick meated, 
and decidedly the most regular of all the extra large class. Price 
per ounce, 30 cts.; per package, 10 cts.
