"Station No. 1." "Aroadla-Earliana " (4/'34). 



A set of ])lants oi the al)ove cross was gTO^nl upon the Home 

 Groniuls and it proved to be quite satisfactory. The note book 

 records the following; facts:- "Upon the 21st of June, the plants 

 were in bloom; July Slst, very fine, large, red, smooth fruits with 

 very little inclination to crack. Prolific — seed saved. August 

 22(1, nearly gone. ^Medium early.'' There is a further note to 

 the effect that the fruits are superior. 



The seeds of this cross were sent to forty-six applicants, from 

 wlmin the following obsen'ations have been received: "A prolific 

 bearer and early, of a light red color, splendid flavor, all of a 

 uniform size, plants are hearty and strong." "Season second 

 early; it is a good general tomato." ''Plants of 'Tomato 'No. V are 

 vigorous and productive and of good quality." "Extra good 

 shajie." "I have had some very fine fruit from them' and think 

 them of merit ; I think they are an all right stock." "They are a 

 very fine tomato, the ]ilant is of upright growth and a very vigor- 

 ous grower, having as high as thirty to thirty-five fruits to a plant 

 of delicious flavor with few seeds." " 'Tomato Xo-. 1' had an exce].- 

 tionally heavy cro]>; the vines were comparatively small but set 

 heavily wilh fruit of good size and very uniform; flesh quite 

 finn." 



"Station No. 2"-"Aroadla-CnmberJaud" (4/28). 



The set of plants of the al)ove cross in the Gardens gave only 

 medium quality of plants, that is, too small and feeble and, there- 

 fore, so far as this year's test is concerned not favorable. 



Reports from those who ha<l seed ior testing run as follows: 

 '' "Tinnato Xo. 2' is yery productive and very vigorous and for 

 size it Avill be very hard to beat, in fact, it is the best I have re- 

 ceived." '' 'Station Xo. 2' tomato is a very fine one in every way, 

 in fact, T have not seen anything in the way of tomatoes that is 

 >^o uniform. Tt is a fine tomato and, by good treatment, will gi-ace 

 any..ne's garden." "Am well jileased with this tomato; not in- 

 cline! to rot as some other varieties." "Large size and healthy 

 vine." "Very nice for table use."
