Not only the earliest of all tomatoes, but the best combination of earliness, yield and quality yet attained in this vegetable. We believe it is the coming early tomato for home use and for early market. We have repeatedly tried it in comparison with the leading early varieties, and the Bright AND Early has invariably been first to ripen. Extensive tests elsewhere point in the same direction. One market gardener reports that with him it was fully two weeks ahead of any other variety, over, fifty kinds being tested. The form of the Bright and Early is nearly round, some- what flattened, with smooth surface, free from irregularities. Color is a fine, deep, handsome red, very uniform in shade. The. skin is firm and free from cracks, the flesh solid and of the finest flavor. While some large specimens are produced, the average size is slightly below medium. But what- ever is lacking in size of the individual fruit is more than made up in the immense clus- ters in which they are borne. In ordinary field culture on an extensive scale they have yielded with us at the rate of over five hun- dred bushels of ripe fruit to the acre. The profusion of fruitage in the height of the season has been the wonder and admiration of every visitor to our grounds. With tliis variety the best results are obtained both in quality and quantity of yield, and especially in earliness, if high mantiring is avoided. Fairly good com land is plenty rich enough for the Bright and Early. ' Livingston's Favorite. The best of Livingston's popular vaiieties. Large, smooth, solid, ripens evenly, and bears ship- ping well. One of the best varieties for general crop. J/^eacll. This little gem of tomatoes is early and wonderfully productive. The fruit bears some resemblance to a peach in form, size and color. Eaten raw it suits our tast
