No. 212. "Washington." The seed of this tomato was kindly sent to the 

 Experiment Station by its originator. Professor C. A. White, of 

 Watihington. D. C. and ten plants of it were grown in the Gardens, 

 with 212 as its list number. The seed was not received in time 

 to be sown with the other novelties, and therefore the plants were 

 late in coming into bearing. The "Washington"' produced a small 

 plant with the strictly dwarf or upright habit, bearing closely-.set 

 leaves of the kind commonly met with upon dwarfs, as those of 

 "Aristocrat" or "Champion." The flower clusters were unbranched 

 and the fruit of good size, being pink in color and comparatively 

 smooth, with the center broken and the seed cavities, six or more, 

 like the "Acme," which has a .somewhat smaller fruit. The wall is 

 thick and the whole fruit quite closely resembles that of the cross 

 between "Magnus" and "Dwarf Champion." None ojf the ten 

 plants yielded well. Some crosses were secured particularly with 

 the "Acme," and a quantity of seed was saved from hand-worked 

 flowers.

"Seedleu" TomatoM. 



During the present season twenty-five plants were grown of the so- 

 called "Seedless," which is a tomato that came to light originally 

 among a plot of plants that were a cross of "Golden Sunrise" upon 

 the "Dwarf Champion," made in 1899. It was at the outset remark- 

 able for its great size, and was called the "Giant" on that account. 

 The seedlings frequently bear three cotyledons, and the plants are very 

 slow, growing long-stemmed, with the foliage open, due to the long 

 internodes, and leaves with the divisions widely separated, which are 

 crinkled, and the terminal leaflet blunt-pointed. The flower clusters
