46 Teuck Growing in the South. 



adopted, the old Acme is by far the best variety. It sur- 

 passes them all in earliness and vigor, and the fruit com- 

 mands a better price than any other variety. It is often 

 quoted in the market from 25 cents to 50 cents above 

 other varieties. It is a heavy fruiter, but in order to 

 make fair-sized fruit, it must be pruned and topped when 

 there are five bunches of fruit set. 



Additional on the Subject of Tomatoes. 



Since this subject was disposed of there has come to 

 light a new and valuable variety of tomato. In fact its 

 virtues and superiority over other varieties are so loudly 

 and unanimously acclaimed I feel that I should say some- 

 thing of my recent experience with and knowledge of it." 

 This new tomato is the Globe. It was introduced several 

 years ago and has been thoroughly tested all over Florida, 

 and the writer being a grower of tomato plants for sale is 

 in a position to know just what the trucking public thinks 

 of it. Besides I have seen it grown and have grown a 

 crop since this subject was closed. It is an early tomato, 

 and a heavy early fruiter, setting nearly all the first' 

 fruits. I have frequently counted as many as six fruit 

 on one bTmch. It is well shaped and good size. But its 

 chief merit is its hardiness. It is said by many to be 

 blight resistant. Some say not but it is certainly the 

 hardiest tomato now known with the exception possibly of 

 the Duke of York. Combining as it does the features of 

 hardiness and being early and prolific, I would unhesitat- 

 ingly recommend it in preference to all other varieties fop 

 Morida and it should be tested everywhere.
