35. Perfection, Hend. (Optimus, Ferry. Scoville, Perry. (Fig.

 Fruits medium to large, nearly spherical, smooth and 

 regular. Cavity very small, and generally without furrows.

36. Mayflower, Hend., Root, Neuman. (Paragon, Hend., Neu. 



Ignotum, College. (Fig. 16, Plate IV.) Puritan, Eawson. 

 Glen Cove, Burpee. Emery, Rawson. Bay State, B. L. 

 Bragg. Volunteer, V. H. Hallock. New Red Apple, Greg. 

 Livingston's Favorite, Sib., Hend., Dick. Americus Hybrid, 

 Faust. Neto Jersey, Land.) Less angular than those of the 

 Cardinal class but more irregular, flattened, and larger than 

 the Perfection. 



37. Hathaway' 's Excelsior, Hend., Root, Dick., Vil. Fruits medium 



to small, seldom reaching 3 inches in diameter, quite deep, 

 the smaller ones being nearly spherical. Light red, smooth 

 and regular. One of the best early varieties. 



38. Advance. (Extra Early Advance.) Ford, Burpee. (Fig. 15, 



Plate IV.) Fruits differ from Hathaway only in being 

 smaller and earlier. Plants generally smaller but very 

 productive. 

 *** Fruits pink or purple. 



39. Peach, Land. Fruit spherical or slightly elongated. One and 



one-half inches in diameter ; smooth and regular ; of a pinkish 

 red color, resembling a peach.

Favorite, Livingston' s Beauty, Liv. Climax, Raw. Hovey, 

 Thor.) Fruits generally large and smooth, resembling Per- 

 fection in shape, but of a pinkish purple color. An excellent 

 variety for home use or local market, but its thin skin makes 

 it too tender for shipment. Beauty is perhaps less flattened 

 than Acme.

vigorous, in habit like those of the last class. Leaves few and large, 



nearly entire.

often oblong, cavity deep, often much furrowed, basin 

 generally distorted in the larger fruits. Quite early, and 

 averaging the largest of any tomato grown. Color of 

 Acme. 



42. Potato Leaf, Mills, Livingston. In plant much like Mikado, 



but the fruit is much more regular and more flattened. 

 B. Validum. Upright or Tree Tomatoes. Stems short and stout, 

 being self sustaining. Leaves dark green, much curled and netted.
