I have the paperback of Livingston and the tomato with pretty much the same info with added color pictures of fruits and colored original pictures of the Livingston catalogs going way back.

Mike Dunton at Victory Seeds has a huge section about Livingston varieties and lots of histories,and reviews them all and indicates which are still available for which he sells seeds.

What surprised me was that Livingston's wife, I think it was,was from NYS and not that far from where I live.

I snagged it off of Ebay. The seller had no idea what they had, it was lumped in a lot with 3 other catalogs of the same time period. One flower seeds and bulbs, one about life insurance of all things, and one a 'hottest christmas gifts of the season' mail-order. I think I paid like $5.75 and a couple bucks shipping for it. I consider it SUCH a steal for the history.

I have uploaded and released the catalog as a Public Domain item free for anyone to use and share. I was able to find no copyright on the work
