at all our vegetable markets, but I do not 

 find that they are used by the middle or lower 

 classes of English families, who have yet to 

 learn the art of improving their dishes with 

 vegetables. 



Mr. John Wilmot, of Isleworth, states* 

 that in 1819 he gathered, from 600 plants, 

 400 half-sieves, which is about equal to 133 

 bushels, and that he then had many to spare. 

 He adds, that the plants produced from 

 twenty to forty pounds' weight each, and 

 that some of the apples measured twelve 

 inches in circumference. 



Mr. Wilmot recommends them to be 

 planted against a bank, as being more con- 

 genial to their nature than a wall. There are 

 several varieties of the tomato; and that which 

 produces fruit about the size of a cherry is the 

 most acid, therefore the most desirable kind 

 for private gardens, alt hough not so profitable 

 for market.
