TOMATO— TOMATO DISEASES

ties or a pink and a yellow used; while 

 to get yellow fruits both parents must be 

 yellow. 



Size appears to be inherited in a blend- 

 ed condition, as it is probably not a unit 

 character; therefore, to obtain tomatoes 

 of large size, both parents must produce 

 large fruits; to produce small ones both 

 parents must be small-fruited; while to 

 produce medium-sized fruits, either me- 

 dium-fruited parents must be crossed or 

 small-fruited and large-fruited types. The 

 same condition prevails with regard to 

 gefteral shape as with size — an interme- 

 diate inheritance; and earliness probably 

 follows the same rule.

> Included in the above are 390.000 dozen No. 10 tomatoes and 1,818,000 No. 2 tomatoes, ali of which have been equalised to 

 represent No. 3. for the purpose of comparison. In some states where 23^ size has been used totals have been made to equal 38, 

 and they are not otherwise shown. 



' The statistics of 1910 were issued on December 6th, at which time the California tomato pacli was in progress and figures 

 unobtainable. Therefore, totals of this state were omitted. 



The figures for California since completed are: 



1910, equalized to Ss 1,204.000 



1911, equalized to 3s 1,300.000 



To prevent confusion or misunderstanding, the figures of this state are given in this explanatory note. 



TOMATO DISEASES 

 Anthracnose 



Colletotrichum sp. 

 One or more fungi are responsible for 

 a fruit rot. It generally causes sunken 

 blotches on the side of the mature fruit, 

 and in severe cases the whole fruit 

 eventually becomes affected and decay 

 quickly follows. The disease has been 



described by different writers, and its ap- 

 pearance has been noted in widely sep- 

 arated localities. 



Rolfs, who has had considerable ex- 

 perience with this disease claims that it 

 can be held in check by Bordeaux mix- 

 ture.
