HORTICULTURE AND LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 93 



a half inches broad by five inches long), slightly furrowed. — 

 From Peter Henderson & Co. Very late. Henderson's char- 

 acter, "a quarter of an inch thick/' is evidently a mistake. 

 Fig 13 shows this variety with immature fruits. 



13. Pimiento Duvce. {Neiu Sweet Spanish.) Plant very robust ; foli- 



age dense and heavy; fruit long, large, and slightly furrowed 

 (two to three inches by four to five inches); variable. — From 

 Peter Henderson & Co. Very late. 



14. Bell. {Bull Nose. Carre doux d' Amerique, "American Sweet 

 Square," of Vilmorin.) Plant large and robust; fruits short- 

 conic, or as broad as long, much lobed near the end and vari- 

 ously furrowed (varying from two inches broad by two and a 

 half long to three inches broad and three and a half inches 

 long). — From Vilmorin — Andrieux et Cie. Late. 



15. Ruhy King. Most of the plants smaller than in No. 14, other- 

 wise indistinguishable. The fruits did not ripen. — From J. B. 

 Root & Co. 



16. Sweet Sjjanish. Appears to differ from No. 14 only in the 

 smaller size of the plants. This and No. 14 appear to be indis- 

 tinguishable. — From Peter Henderson & Co. Very late. The 

 Sweet Spanish {Doux d'Bspaqne) of Vilmorin is not the same. 

 Its fruits are also late, but more like those of Red Cardinal. 



17. Sweet Mountain. Differs from No. 14 by its larger fruits which 

 are mostly short-oblong and very blunt or squared and lobed at 

 the tip (two to three inches broad and three to four inches long), 

 strongly furrowed. Said to be milder than the Bell. — From J. 

 B. Root & Co. Medium. 



B. Fruit yellow. 



18. Yellow Bi'll. {Golden Upright of Burpee, Golden Dawn Mango, 

 Golden Queen of Tillinghast, Carre jaune hatif of Vilmorin.) 

 Plant loose in habit, strong, medium in height, leaves large ; 

 fruits like the Bell, only usually more regular, not so deeply 

 furrowed, bright yellow or orange. — From W. Atlee Burpee, 

 James J. H. Gregory, J. B. Root & Co., Isaac Tillinghast, 

 Vilmorin-Andrieux et Cie. Beginning to ripen September 1. 



IV. ToMATo-LrKE Pbppers. — Fruit flattened, broader than long, 

 mostly nearly regular on top. 



19. Squash. {Boston Squash, Neio Dwarf Early Red Squash, 

 Neio Red Squash, Tomato nain hatif.) Plants medium in 

 growth, leaves large; fruits various, sometimes tending 

 towards the shape of the Bell, angled on the sides, two to three 

 inches across, dull red. — From James J. H. Gregory, W. 

 Atlee Burpee, J. C. Vaughan, Vilmorin-Andrieux et Cie. Sep- 

 tember 3, two plants from Gregory gave together two ripe 

 fruits; five from Burpee gave together five ripe fruits; seven 

 from Vaughan gave ten ripe fruits; five from Vilmorin gave 

 eight. 



20. Red Tomato. {Tomato rouge of Vilmorin.) Much like the 

 last, but later, and the fruits more angled, and more furrowed 

 about the base. — From Vilmorin-Andrieux et Cie.
