Geandifolium. — Large-leaf tomatoes. Habit and fruit as in section C; 



leaves very large ; leaf- 

 lets fewer than com-

 large (the blade thre 

 to four inches long and 

 an inch and a half 

 wide), entire, the 

 lower side strongly 

 decurrent. Leaves of 

 the young plants en- 

 tire ! The terminal 

 leaflet is often six 

 inches long and four 

 or more inches broad. 

 This peculiar foliage 

 occurs in Nisbit's Vic- 

 toria also. Fruit pink.

58. Potato Leaf. Fruit very regular and uniform, very much like 

 Acme. Evidently a very fine sort, more uniform in size and 

 shape of fruit than the next. — Livingston. 



59. Mikado. {Turner Hybrid). Fruit very large, usually irregular, 

 much resembling Trophy, only that the color is pinkish-purple. 

 Too irregular to be recommended. Figs. 9 and 10. — College
