Should the combination be in green-fleshed fruits, the results 

 differ from the last in the duller shades with a very obscure 

 mottling or striping where the green is very unevenly distributed. 

 A concrete case is the following: — The "Dwarf Purple" (6) is 

 a kind with the dark color pervading all exposed portions of the 

 plant — the fruit stalk, for example, being nearly as shiny purple 

 as the surface of the fruit but beneath the purple calyx the fruit 

 surface is a pale pea-green. On the other hand, the "Xew York 

 Improved" (19) is a sort with but little other than green in the 

 fruit, stem and calyx, or elsewhere, with the almost mahogany- 

 colored fruit-surface extending under the calyx and here as else- 

 where more or less indistinctly strij^ed. The cross of these two 

 (6/19) gives a fruit that is somewhat wine-colored, a greenish 

 chocolate beneath the calyx and more or less indistinctly striped 

 at the blossom-end. 



In the case of the twelve plants of the cross of the "Long 

 White" (11) upon "Dwarf Purple" (6), the color scheme is as 

 follows : 



1 Purple skin 6= Dull purple fruits; green 



Green flesh — 9 -. under calyx. 



' Colorless skin 3 = Green fruits. 



V Purple skin 3 = Bright purple fruits; white 



White flesh — 3 - under calyx. 



' Colorless skin 0= White fruits. 



There were eight plants of the derivative cross of "Jersey 

 Pink" (28) upon "Black Pekin" (3) upon "Black Beauty" (4). 

 The "Jersey Pink" carries the white flesh; the "Pekin," the 

 plant purple; and the "Beauty," the fruit color. The following 

 shows the classification of colors : 



I Purple skin 6= Dull purple fruits; green 



Green flesh — 8 -. under calyx. 



' Colorless skin 2= Green fruits. 



Among this small number the white flesh type did not appear. 

 The four plants of "Jersey Pink" upon "Purple Tokio" (32) 

 gave the following :
