TOMATO, OR LOVE-APPLE 



717 



Laxton's Open-air Tomato. — A fairly vigorous not very tall 

 plant ; leaves grayish, light, somewhat crimped. The fruit, produced 

 in bunches, is rather irregular in shape, but not ribbed, and quite flat 



on the side opposite the stalk ; it is a little more than I in. by 

 or 2 J in. in diameter, and when ripe a very vivid scarlet. The flesh 

 is thick and well flavoured. Perfectly suited for outdoor cultivation, 

 it is as early as the Early Dwarf Red Tomato, but not quite so 

 compact in habit.
