720 THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Perfection Tomato. — A very handsome variety, intermediate 

 between the Trophy and Hathaway's Excelsior, with smooth 

 leaves. More productive than Hathaway's Excelsior, with larger 



and finer fruit, it is superior to the Trophy in its greater earliness and 

 the regularity with which it ripens its fruit in the climate of Paris. 

 The fruit is a fine deep scarlet, quite smooth, thick, more or less 

 flattened, very solid and fleshy, well suited for canning. Ripens 

 about mid-season.
