There is no Livingstons' Aristocrat. Here is the link to Mike Dunton's section on Livingston varieties and he's the authority on same http://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_livingston.html However, there is a Dwarf Aristocrat that mike also mentions but via Burpee. http://www.victoryseeds.com/tomato_b...r-century.html Aha, so there once was a Dwarf Aristocrat but gone with the wind at least a century ago. https://www.google.com/search?q=dwar..._AUIBygA&dpr=1 and that took me to tomodori and then to ventmarin http://ventmarin.free.fr/passion_tom...ates_ds_dx.htm .....last noted in what was it, 1913? If I could find my Michigan 1939 papers I know I'd find other synonyms for it You wrote (But even if not, the once popular tomatoes are probably not really gone, but are surviving intact as or as a component of finds like "Grandpa's favorite tomato that our family always grows.) and here's a good example http://t.tatianastomatobase.com:88/wiki/Jean%27s_Prize John Jones also told me that no one could remember the name of the original tomato so they renamed it Jean's Prize. There are several examples like that but it's the first one I remembered. (I accidentally found that Zolotoe Serdtse and Medovoe Serdtse were decent long keeping tomatoes) I've grown both and offered them in seed offers and never saw them as long keepers, but where you grow,isn't it Wyoming, perhaps they might be.
