314 NEW JERSEY STATE AGRICULTURAL 



To this list of una, it is probable that further study will 

 demonstrate that the smoothness and the hairiness of the fruit 

 may be added, that is, in the various crosses with the **peach" 

 tomato the fuzz of the latter kind appeared in numbers to suggest 

 that it is a recessive unum. 



It is too soon to decide how much weight should be placed upon 

 mere size of fruit as a unum. It is probably true, however, that 

 two general sizes may be employed as a final factor in a scheme 

 of classification that is here offered : 



Large 

 frnlt. 



A. Standard. - 



A. A. Dwarf. 



B. Fine 

 leaved. 



B. B. Coarse 

 leaved. 



C. Grpen 

 foliage. 



C. C. Yellow 

 foliage. 



D. Red fruit. 



D. D. Yellow 



fruit. 

 D. D. D. Pink 



fruit. 



E. Smooth 

 fruit. 



E. E. Hairy 

 fruit. 



F. F. Small 

 fruit. 



In the above scheme, the six chief points are given only for the 

 first head under each division, thus, the same sub-divisions obtain 

 for "dwarf" as for "standard," for "coarse"-leaf as for "fine" 

 leaf, etc. In other words, for example, there are red-fruited 

 varieties, theoretically at least, for both "green" and "yellow" 

 foliage, of both "fine" and "coarse"-leaved, and of both "stan- 

 dard" and "dwarf" plants. 



Many of the standard varieties could be arranged under this 

 scheme, but for some of the headings the representatives are lack- 

 ing. This is particularly true of the yellow foliage (subdivision 

 C. C.) and the hairy fruit (E. E.), but should one desire to do so, 

 the way is clear for filling up the deficiencies in the scheme, but 

 usually they would result in plants and products that would not 

 appeal to the practical tomato grower; thus, one might make a 

 dwarf, coarse-leaved, yellow-foliaged and yellow-fruited, hairy 

 tomato of small size that, while interesting as a novel combina- 

 tion of qualities, would not be sought for as a big seller.
