The method of transplanting tomatoes described in Bulletin No. 9 of 

 the station (sec Experiment Station Record, vol. ii, p. 670) was tried 

 again in 1891 with some 25,000 plants, with decidedly favorable results. 

 The transplanting was done in cold frames instead of in the field, as in 

 (he ]>revious season. 



The e.\i)erienceof the station in the use of fertilizers for tomatoes indi- 

 cates that they were "injuriously afitected by the application of nitrate 

 of so(hi alone and arc not benefited by the use of ])otash •>r phosphoric 

 acid singl\ ,"" but that all three t4)gether applied shortly after transplant- 

 ing to the field materially increased the yield and improved the quality 

 ttf the fruit. 



I'ofatitfs (])p. l.'l-lSi. — A list is given of 127 varieties tested in ISOl. 

 Previous reports of similar tests may be found in Bulh'tins Xos. (Jand >> 

 of the station (see l'iXi)eriment Station Kecord, vol. ii, pj). 133aiid ()tjl>). 

 The following tabnhited summaries for 10 varieties grown during the 

 leasts years are taken from the bulletin:
