292 NEW JERSEY STATE AGRICULTURAL 



"Dominion Day-South Jersey" Cross (29/119). 



The second generation of this cross was grown and the resuhs 

 are so favorable that seed was saved extensively for purposes of 

 trial outside of the Breeding Grounds. All the plants were uni- 

 formly early and prolific, and the fruits had a smooth apple shape, 

 ripening evenly and cracking but little. 



"Dul<e of York-Ivory Bali" Cross (32/175). 



Seeds were used from a "white" fruit of this cross for 1906 

 for the test the present season. The plants were unusually large 

 and spreading, and of the four plants one was a fine red in fruit- 

 ing and three were pale lemon, the former bearing good-sized 

 tomatoes, but all the latter had fruits of plum form and shape and 

 too small for general use. The fruit of most interest, aside from 

 the great size of plant, was the one with a color that agreed with 

 neither parent, and, in fact, might have been mistaken for the 

 sort called "Golden Nugget." The possibility of getting a very 

 productive, long season "plum" of striking color led to the saving 

 of seed for a further trial. 



"Earliana-Freedom" Cross (33/54). 



This was an early fruiting cross bearing red fruits of two 

 types, namely, five plants with flat "Earliana" type and three of 

 a handsome apple shape that did not crack. Seed of the latter 

 type was saved. 



"Earliana-Yellow Peach" Cross (33/186). 



The plants were long and slender and showed unmistakably 

 the "peach" foliage. One plant bore large yellow fruits that 

 showed a new type of tomato that set people to guessing when 

 first seen. The fruits were of large size, quite long, yellow and 

 deeply ribbed, or fluted, thus resembling a small, scalloped 

 squash, with a poor interior consisting of few large locules and.
