EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



5 GEORGE v.. A. 1915- 



TOM.\TOES. 



Tweaity-nine strains and varieties were tested in 1913. For this district, the most 

 important consideration is earliness, as it is iieeless to grow a late A-ariety, however 

 good it may 1*., which will not mature a fairly large percentage of its fruit. There 

 .seems no doubt that the better strains of the Earliana are to be partic\xlarly recom- 

 mended ; the Alacrity, which is a strain of the Earliana specially selected at the Cen- 

 tral Experimental Farm, Ottawa, is the most promising which we have. Some inter- 

 est is shown in the small yellow tomatoes for preserves, and the variety known as 

 Yellow Plum succeeds well here.
