"South Jcrscy-Earliaiia" (119/33). The plants did well and 

 the crop was earlv and satisfactory. 



"Stone-Brinton's Best" (121/15). This even set of plants 

 -gave fine large fruits. 



"Dwarf Stone-Imperial" (170/63). The plants were all poor. 



"Dwarf Stone-Golden Queen" (170/144). The unifonn plants 

 were strong, of the standard type with very firm, bright red fruits. 



"Alice Rooseveilt-ImiDerial" (188/63). This was a poor set of 

 plants. 



"Globe-Brinton's Best" (194/15). This gave a set of plants 

 with red, smooth fruits. 



"GlobehDuke of York" (194/32). The fruits were large, pink, 

 "apple^shaped," but not regular.

This experiment strengthens the belief that lilocks of tomato 

 plants may be easily obtained from cuttings that will be extremely 

 uniform, and, until varieties are more stable than at present, it 

 may be desirable to thus secure fancy crops of the very choicest 

 types of plants of any selected kind. It is a treat to the grower to 

 l>e able to fill his baskets or wagons with fruits that vary no more 

 than do those from, any one plant that approaches the ideal 

 toinato. 



The fact of nearly absolute uniformity in shape and color and 

 appa'oximately so in size is one that appeals to some truckers, as 

 it does strongly to the fastidious consumer, and, through the 

 method of making cuttings, the way is clear to an increased pleas- 

 ure, if not of profit, in tomato growing. 



GENERAL REMARKS UPON TOMATO EXPERIMENTS. 



There were two hundred and eighty-four crosses, five plants 

 each (with few exceptions), grown the present season, not includ- 

 ing thirty-six crosses from cuttings taken from the greenhouse 

 plants. Representatives were in quantity of standard and dwarf 

 types of plants; fine, coarse and yellow sorts of foliage; red,
