TOMATO GROWING IN NEW HAMPSHIRE 



conditions for ripening. May and June were cool, dry months, 

 and the tomatoes started slowly. While the remainder of the 

 season was sufficiently wet, there was no continuous muggy 

 weather to induce the growth of fungous diseases. 



The fruit was picked three times a week, on Mondays, 

 Wednesdays, and Fridays, and at each picking the number, 

 total weight, amount of rot, etc., were tabulated for each 

 variety. The photographs show a single specimen of each 

 variety at nearly the close of the season. They were selected 

 September 14th. While in some instances the size is slightly 

 below the average, in most cases the selection is a fair repre- 

 sentative of its variety.
