THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Chemin Tomato is much superior to this variety, and will no doubt 

 supersede it entirely. 



Mikado Purple Tomato. A tall, vigorous, rather late variety, 

 much more suitable for warm climates than for Paris. Stems 

 very tall and stout, leaves of a special character, with only a 

 few leaflets, but those unusually large. Fruit very large, smooth, 

 flattened, but very thick and purple, like the Acme Tomato. 



Trophy Tomato. 



Mikado Scarlet Tomato. The principal merit of the Mikado 

 Purple Tomato is that it has produced the Scarlet form here 

 described. It has all the good qualities of its parent, besides 

 greater earliness and brighter colour. 



Scarlet Ponderosa Tomato. The result of a selection made 

 in Europe among the purple-coloured Ponderosa Tomato, which 

 it has entirely superseded. The fruit has the same enormous size, 

 is quite smooth, and a colour more in harmony with French taste.
