productiveness nf plant, the cross is satisfactory and the color, fol- 

 lowing- both plants, is of course a pink. There were other crosses 

 ^vit.h the "Glohe'' that give more of promise. 



"Station Tellow-Dwarf Stone" (210 169). 



Only two plants were groA\^l of this cross, both of which were 

 dwarf, following the parents — but in color of fruit one was yellow 

 and the other red. The tomatoes, aside from color, were alike and 

 quite satisfactory' — the interior being a blending of flesh and small 

 seed cavities, as sho\\ii at 12 in Plate VII. 



Some of the "Globe" Crosses. 



The ''Globe" was crossed upon the following varieties last year: 

 "Brinton's Best," "Duke of York," "Imperial," "King Hum- 

 bert," "Magiius," "Ponderosa" and "Alice Ptoosevelt." This block 

 of crosses, with the male parent in common, gave promises of re- 

 sults that will l)e announced later. With the exception of the 

 "Duke of York," all the crosses were grown for the first generation 

 in the greenhouse and, therefore, in the field the past season the 

 first and second generations were grown side by side in parallel 

 rows. 



The "Globe-Brinton's Best" (194/15) cross for the first gen- 

 eration gave long vines, four of which bore red, and one pink, 

 fruits. In the second generation, the plants were practically the 

 same, namely, two with red and three with pink fruits. Out of 

 this cross, there may be two strains separated, upon the basis of 

 fruit color. The fruits were long, to which the term "apple- 

 shaped" is temporarily applied. 



The "Globe-Imperial" (194/63) gave three red and two pink 

 fruited plants for both the first and second generations. Here the 

 vines showed much length, were prolific and the fruits solid "apple- 

 shaped" and somewhat late in maturing. 



In the "Globe-King Humbert" (194/64) cross, the fruits were 

 a very long plum in l)oth generations, not easily distinguished and 

 all w( !•(' red. 



The "Globe-Magnus" (194/75) cross gave strong plants, only 

 the fine-leaved type being grown and the long fruits were all of tlie 

 ])ink color.
