Tomato Variety Tests 



G. W. Bycroft, Byrea, Out. 



The seed committee of the London branch 

 of the Ontario Vegetable Growers' Associa- 

 tion decided last year to grow five varie- 

 ties of tomatoes under exactly similar con- 

 ditions to determine which would be the 

 most profitable to grow for the factory. The 

 following varieties were selected : Pride of 

 Canada, Royal Red, Clalk's Jewel, Earli- 

 ana and Plentiful. The first four varieties 

 were sown on April 10 and Plentiful on 

 March 10. Twenty plants of each were set 

 out in the field in rows on June 10. Cut 

 worms destroyed some of the plants. The 

 number of plants left of each variety, date 

 and weight of ripe tomatoes picked were 

 recorded in tabulated form. 



At last picking Earliana was practically 

 denuded of fruit. V'ery few green ones 

 were left on the vines. Most of the crop 

 was gathered from Plentiful and Clalk's 

 Jewel, but the bulk of tomatoes was still 

 left on Royal Red and Pride of Canada. 

 The tests will be continued this year. 



From the Agricultural Experiment Station 

 at Lafayette, Indiana, we have received bul- 

 letin No. 138 on the San Jose scale. A de- 

 scription of this pest is given and sugges- 

 tions on its control. The bulletin' contains 

 also reports of experiments with many com- 

 rrercial preparations that are on the mar- 

 ket as remedies for this pest.

 tach your 1 or 2-horse-power engine and use it to operate any machine you have 

 on the farm— grinder, washing machine, saw, separator, churn, pump, etc. You 

 know the reputation of I H C engines for simplicity, economy, dependabiltiy. 

 They are making big money for thousands of farmers, gardeners and fruit- 

 growers everywhere --and the fact that you can use your I H C engine for any 

 purpose beside spraying, makes it invaluable tp you.

 poses Investigate the I H C line. We furnish blue prints so you may build 

 your own spray wagon, tank, etc. Our valuable spraying book will interest you 

 immensely.
