The following
varieties, although not Livingston introductions, are old varieties that
were offered in Livingston's catalogs.
| Earliana
(65 days) Indeterminate, extra early 5 to 6 ounce fruit is set in
clusters of six tomatoes or more. The bright red color and
tasty flavor makes this a great early tomato. |
 |
|
|
Ponderosa
The fruits ripen early and bears well until very late; very
solid, almost seedless, of good sub-acid flavor and of immense
size, frequently weighing more than 2 pounds. Somewhat
scattered on the vine, and a small percentage are rather rough.Click

Red
Currant
The 1918 Livingston catalog simply describes this as,
"Smallest of all sorts". It is an extremely prolific
grower and producer of small, 1/2 inch, red, and occasionally
yellow, fruits. The plants are best left to their wild,
rambling habit. Trellising is a challenge. |
|
| Yellow
Pear-Shape (78
days) Documented as a pre-1800 variety. Yellow pear shape,
firm skinned, nice flavor, 1-1/2 inch long fruit. Good in
salads, sauces or by themselves. They have been fairly
cold tolerant and commonly one of the last ones living
every year. |
