728 THE VEGETABLE GARDEN 



Beauty. — Productive, fairly vigorous ; fruit medium - sized, 

 smooth, purple-red. In the United States this is considered one 

 of the best of the purple Tomatoes. 



Belle de Leuville. — Fruit of the same shape as the Large Red 

 Tomato, with faintly marked ribs, smooth, well shaped, remark- 

 able for its crimson tint, almost violet when ripe. This variety 

 was raised at Leuville, near Arpajon, in the vicinity of Paris. The 

 new round-fruited kinds are at the present day preferred to it, but 

 it appeared before any of the American or English varieties which 

 are now so extensively grown. 



Blenheim Orange. — A beautiful medium-sized fruit, of ex- 

 cellent quality, without 

 ribs ; slightly flattened, 

 and a bright orange- 

 yellow. 



Earliana. — An 

 American variety recently 

 obtained, considered in 

 the country of its origin 

 to be the earliest of the 

 middle or large - sized 

 varieties. A small, vigorous 

 plant, bearing numerous 

 fruit in clusters of five to 

 eight, smooth, regular in 

 contour, bright red, firm 

 in flesh, and good in 

 quality. 



Early Mayflower. — A handsome American variety, with 

 medium-sized fruit, very smooth, and intensely coloured, but 

 though named "early," it ripens rather late. 



Early Optimus. — Half-dwarf, fairly early ; the fruit resemble 

 those of the Perfection Tomato, but are more flattened and less 

 regular in size. 



Golden Trophy. — A very large yellow Tomato, smooth, late. 



Honor Bright. — An American variety, ripening late ; fruit 

 almost round, medium-sized, bright red, keeping well. Despite 

 the yellowish colour of its foliage and slowness to ripen, it is much 

 appreciated in America for producing a late crop, as also for 

 shipping long distances. 



Jaune Petite. — A yellow-fruited variety of the Cherry Tomato. 

 Fruit numerous, golden-yellow, and perfectly round. 



Large Yellow Tomato. — An American variety of the same 

 shape and almost of the same size as the Large Red Tomato. 

 The fruit is very deeply ribbed, and very inferior to that of the 

 Round or Smooth Yellow Tomato.
