496 NEW JERSEY STATE AGRICULTURAL 



The leader (119) of the list it will be noted by glancing at 

 the table, ceased yielding fruits after the third picking and the 

 same was nearly true of the two sets of " Nolte's Earliest," 

 " Richmond," " Early Ruby," " Earliest of All," and " Earliana." 

 Arcadia fruited through a longer period as did " Bermuda," 

 " Canada Victor," '' Dominion Day," and " Perfection." "Stone" 

 fruits all through the season and " Ignotum ".and " Prizetaker " 

 have a prolonged period and rank as " medium " in their season. 



The Late Varieties. 



By regarding the last two pickings, September 7th and 19th, 

 it is seen that the following twelve varieties have over ten fmits : 



Name. Total Yield. Final Pickings. 



Duke of York (32) 87 23 



Stone Dwf. (169- 87 20 



Enormous (43) 58 18 



Honor Bright (60) 73 . 1< 



Honor Bright (61) 74 16 



Stone Dwf. (170) 83 16 



Honor Bright (59) 67 13 



Melrose (84) 82 13 



Buckeye State (17) 52 12 



Novelty (96) 72 12 



Enormous (44) 62 11 



Fortune (53) 78 11

 show closely the quality of lateness; likewise both of the sets of 

 "Enormous." Two of three of the "Dwarf Stone" find a place 

 here, and by glancing at the general table it will be noticed that 

 No. 170 came within one of getting a rank also among the early 

 sorts. It was"a comparatively heavy bearer from August ist to 

 September 7th. "Buckeye State"' (17), on the other hand, had 

 no early fruits, and the same was true of the "Duke of York," 

 which leads all others for its September pickings. "Giant 

 Climbing" gave a small yield in the height of the tomato season,
