Disease Resistant 
New 63 Day, Scarlet, Globe-Shaped Tomato 
Developed by Prof. Schermerhorn of Rutgers College. It is 
globe shaped, scarlet-red, resembling Marglobe. It ripens 
first im the center of the fruit, so that when red on the out- 
side you are sure it is ripe all through. The juice is of the 
most delicious flavor making it ideal for canning and juices. 
The perfectly smooth skin and unusually solid appearance 
make it one of the most attractive varieties on the market. 
Fruits are medium-sized, average weight 8 oz. We rec. 
ommend this variety for canners, market growers and home 
gardens. Pkt., 10 cts.; %4 oz., 22 cts.; 0z., 35 cts.; 14 lb., $1.00;

779 Livingston’s Globe 
Shumway’s Super Strain 
Solid Meat—Excellent Shipper 
75 days. One of the finest early Purple Toma- 
toes in cultivation. Distinctively globe-shaped, 
firm solid flesh, delightful flavor—considered 
Blight-Proof. My strain of Livingston’s Globe 
Tomato represents a careful selection from the 
original parent stock to insure uniform quality 
throughout. It is used annually by hundreds of

: oe even in size throughout the season. Fruits are 
Pree . always smooth with firm flesh and rather few 
seeds. Ripens very evenly; of fine glossy purple, 
very productive. When picked quite green will carry 
to distant markets in better condition than most any 
other variety. I highly recommend my strain of Liv-
