pickling and preserving, its small size rendering it of little 

 value for stewing or for catchup. 



Mixed with the Yellow, they make a fine garnish, and are 

 excellent for salad.

 diameter. It is one of the earliest of all the 

 cultivated sorts, but of little value except for pickling or pre- 

 serving.

 ing only in color. 



Very similar to, if not identical with, the Per- Seedless, 

 fected. Fruit almost rose-red, solid, and with 

 comparatively few seeds. 



This recently introduced variety originated in The Cook's 

 Burlington County, New Jersey. The plant is 

 strong and vigorous, with fine, broad, light green foliage. 

 The fruit is of medium size, roundish, or oval, smooth, of a 

 rich, deep color and remarkable solidity, rarely with a 

 cavity or hard, unripe parts at the centre. It is a few days 

 earlier than the Perfected. The variety is popular in the 

 Middle States, where it is said to yield abundantly, and is 

 extensively grown in the vicinity of New York and Philadel- 

 phia for marketing. It is also raised to some extent in New 

 England, but has proved somewhat less productive than the 

 Perfected and other larger-fruited sorts. 



A new variety, raised from seed by Grenier, Tree Tom&to.
