Canada Victor
This excellent early tomato which I introduced several years ago will be found to excel most varieties in that most desirable characteristic in earliness of ripening, the great bulk of the crop, a trait of great value to market gardeners. Generally symmetrical and handsome, in ripening it has no green left around the stem (a great fault with many other kinds otherwise good). It is heavy, full meated and rich, between round and oval in shape, and red in color. I offer headquarters' seed by the package, ounce and pound. For seed of my own growing, saved from selected specimens – pkt., 10c; oz., 25c; lb., $3.15.

Essex Hybrid
This closely resembles the Acme. I am not, as a rule, in favor of vegetables made by crossing two or more varieties; they are so much inclined to sport back and forth towards one or the other of the original parents; but this tomato held its own in form, size, color and quality so well and is so early withal, that I deem it worthy of a more general introduction. There are many varieties of tomatoes offered well worthy of cultivation, but among the millions who grow them there are a great variety of tastes, and with such an excellent field to select from all can be satisfied. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c.

“The Favorite”
Mr. A. W. Livingston speaks as follows: “'The Favorite' has several advantages over other varieties. It is smoother than the Paragon, and never hollow late in the season. I had tomatoes ripen in July, and the same vines had an abundant crop on them Sept. 22. does not crack after ripening, like the Acme; 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 heavier in proportion to its size.” all the varieties introduced by Mr. Livingston are popular with the market gardeners. I think we shall conclude that it is well worth a trial in every garden. Pkt., 10c; oz., 30c.
