EXPERIMENT STATION BULLETINS. 421 



Lemon Blush. — Thorburn. Another of the Rural New Yorker toma- 

 toes. Plants of very strong, upright growth. Fruit of medium size, round, 

 regular form. It has very thick outer walls, few cells with many seeds 

 and the flesh is juicy and more acid than is usual for yellow tomatoes. 

 Color a rich light yellow. A promising yellow sort and a distinct type. 



Early Michigan. — Ferry. An improved type of the old Red Apple. 

 Plants very vigorous, the branches growing in a close mass. It was not 

 very early but the plants are very productive and the fruit is of good size, 

 regular form, bright red color, and free from rot or cracking. One of the 

 best. 



Nichols No. 5. — Nichols. A tomato of the potato-leaf type, but the plant 

 grows stronger and more upright. Fruit a lighter pink and of more solid 

 flesh. The plants are productive and the tomato an excellent shipper. 



Richmond. — Landreth. Plants are not of strong growth. Fruit small 

 to medium in size, rough and angular in shape and many-celled. One of 

 the first to mature fruits. Valuable for its earliness. 



Comrade. — Gregory. In plant and fruit closely resembles Advance, 

 though fruit is a brighter red and has more green around stem. Also 

 some fruits are much larger than Advance. 



First Ripe. — Salzer. Plants strong and of low spreading growth. Fruit 

 round, of medium size, smooth, bright red color; flesh solid, juicy, and 

 quite acid in flavor. Matures early and plants fairly productive. 



Trucker FavorHe. — Burpee. Plants strong growing and productive. 

 Closely resembles Acme in plant and fruit. A valuable market sort. 



Red Ponderosa. — College. Very similar to Ponderosa in plant and 

 form of fruit but the color is red. Plants are productive and ripened a 

 good amount of fruit before frost came. 



Ever Fruitful. — Pitcher & Manda. Plants are strong growing and set 

 a large amount of fruit. Fruit large, regular form, and light red color; 

 flesh not very firm but of good quality. No rot appeared and fruit does 

 not crack around stem. Resembles Ignotum but the tomato is more 

 spherical in form. 



World's Fair. — Reed. This proved to be the old Red Pear, an early 

 ripening sort of but little value.
