of this group, is large and "meaty," but many of the fruits are 

 irregular, and it is much subject to decay. The fruits do' not 

 mature evenly. 



There are three yellow-fruited varieties among the "standard" 

 sorts. "Golden Queen" (144, 145) is the better known, while 

 "Lemon Blush" (147) is perhaps superior to it, having fruits 

 more firm or solid. 



Tlie "potato-leaved standards" are comparatively few. and 

 nearly all of them bear purple fruits. The "Red Mikado" was 

 not grown, and is inserted merely to make the classification more 

 complete. "Multicolor" (92) and "Princess" (109) had the 

 peculiar yellow foliage that appears in less degree in "Honor 

 Bright." The "Magnus" (73, 75, 76) is vigorous, though some- 

 what lacking in productiveness, but the fruit is of excellent 

 shape. It seems to be the best "potato-leaved" tomato-. No. 

 74 was not true to name, being a red tomato, and not "potato- 

 leaved." "Mikado" (89, 90) and "Potato Leaf" (104) were 

 not distinguished from each other. The location of the former 

 on the end of the plot was unfavorable, and may account for its 

 small product and high percentage of decay. 



A special effort was made to obtain a large number of "dwarf 

 tomatoes, and eighteen varieties were grown. These are first 

 separated according to the color of the fruit, and secondly upon 

 size. The small red varieties are "Aristocrat" (149-152) and 

 "Dandy Dwarf" (158). '"Aristocrat" (150) proved to be a 

 purple sort, resemblinp- "Champion." 



Among the medium-sized red tomatoes, "Quarter Century" 

 (165, 166), "Kansas Standard" (161, 162) and "Extra Early 

 Tree" (159) made good showings. All were superior to the 

 better known "Champion." The "Dwarf Stone" (169-171) is 

 a new variety, introduced by Livingston in 1902. The fruits 

 were uniformly O'f large size, and the plants were healthy, vigor- 

 ous and productive. Our experience the past summer indicates 

 that it is the best dwarf, and a variety well worthy of cultivation. 



The purple-fruited dwarfs are separated upon size, being rated 

 as either "small' or "medium." "Champion" (153-155) is the 

 best known and perhaps the best of the purple-fruited sorts, but 

 it is inferior to several of the red-fruited varieties. "Model" 

 (163) and "Royal Colors" (114) appear to be cross of a "dwarf" 

 and a "potato-leaved" sort. 



Two yellow-fruited "dwarfs" were grown — the "Station Yel- 

 low," which is a variety originated at this Station from a cross
