Tomato. 



YELLOW 

 FIG-TOMATO. 



A sub-variety of the Red Pear-shaped, with 

 a clear, semi-transparent, yellow skin, and yellow 

 flesh. Like the preceding, it is little used except 

 for preserving and pickling. 



Yellow 

 Plum- 

 Tomato. 



A variety of the Red Plum, of the same size 

 and form, and equally symmetrical, distin- 

 guished only by the color of its skin, which is a 

 fine, clear, transparent yellow. It is used principally for 

 preserving, its small size rendering it comparatively value- 

 less for use in any other form. 



When the two varieties are intermixed, the colors present 

 a fine contrast, and a basket of the fruit is quite a beautiful 

 object.
