240 AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE BULLETINS. 



inches across, and two to two and a half inches deep, ripen- 

 ing evenly; bright light red; very firm. A good market sort. 

 Our stock of " Large Eed Smooth Round " was much mixed. 



12. Canada Victor. Inconstant in size and shape, usually con- 

 siderably flattened; about four inches broad, by two deep, 

 yariously lobed; bright light red; solid. A popular variety, 

 but, as grown here this year, possessing no superior merits. 



13. Troiiliy. (Nellis' Selected Trophy. Henderson's Extra Selected 

 Trophy. Eead's Island Beauty. Island Beauty.) The typical 

 Troj^hy is flattish, about four or five inches across, by two and 

 a haU deep; regular, or very nearly so, often producing a small, 

 regular ring on top; bright light red, with some shading of 

 orange red; firm. In this form it is probably our best tomato, 

 for all purposes. It is exceedingly liable to grow too large 

 and irregular, however. The so-called selected stocks have 

 shown no improvement over the ordinary stocks. Intro- 

 duced in 1870, by Col. Geo. E. Waring, Newport, E. I. 



14. Bronze Foliage Tropliy. Stems, veins on the under side of 

 the young leaves, and leaf-margins colored with indistinct, 

 dark violet-purj^le, and the leaves darker dull green than in 

 other plants; fruit similar to the last, a little later. When 

 the plants were young, the " bronze " was very marked, and 

 even at this time the darker color of the plants is noticeable 

 at some distance. 



15. Queen. (Cardinal. New Cardinal. Prize Belle.) Fruit 

 very uniform, seldom contorted, flattened; ordinary speci- 

 mens three to four inches across, and two inches deep; 

 slightly lobed, somewhat angled; glossy yellowish red; firm 

 and handsome. This is an extreme development of the 

 Angular tomatoes; one of the most attractive varieties. At 

 the New York Station the Queen, from Henderson, appeared 

 to be identical with Eed Valencia Cluster. 



16". Red Valencia Cluster. Fruit somewhat more angular than 

 No. 15, more uniform in size and ripening. Probably not 

 distinct from the last. One of the handsomest sorts which 



"we grew. 



17. Livingston's Favorite. (Market Champion, Essex Eound 

 Eed Smooth.) Distinguished from No. 15 only in its aver- 

 age smaller size and more regular form. Probably not dis- 

 tinct. Stock from Henderson was larger than from Sibley, 

 and more indistinguishable from Queen. Our stock of Mar- 

 ket Champion was mixed, a part of it being Acme or very 

 near it. At the New York Station Essex Eound Eed Smooth 

 was thought to be the same as Tilden. 



18. Hathatvay. (Hathaway's Excelsior. New Eed Apple.) Or- 

 dinary fruit nearly spherical, one and a half to two and a half 

 niches in diameter, perfectly regular, bright light red. A 

 favorite sort. The New York Station regards Livingston's 

 Favorite as the same as this. With us, however, the Favor- 

 ite retains too much of the angled type to be associated with 



■ Hathaway. The Hathaway appears to be a direct develop-
