284 new fruits and vegetables in the society's garden. 



7. Tomato Capsicum. 



Received from M. Vilmorin of Paris. The fruit bears con- 

 siderable resemblance to the large red tomato in form and colour. 

 It is very productive, and much milder than the small sorts. 



There is a yellow tomato capsicum, but it is stated to be more 

 difficult to ripen. 



8. Chou de Milan tres Hatif d'Ulm (Earliest Ulm 



Savoy). 



This was received from M. Vilmorin of Paris, and is described 

 in the 'Bon Jardinier' as being " very dwarf, quickly forming 

 a heart, which, though not large, is excellent." It is the earliest 

 in cultivation. The specimens exhibited were sown April 8th, 

 along with other varieties of the Savoys, none of which are yet 

 fit for use. It may be planted, in proportion to its size, con- 

 siderably closer than the larger kinds. Notwithstanding the 

 greater number that may thus be produced on a given space, the 

 amount of produce would not answer the purpose of growers for 

 the market ; but in gentlemen's gardens it will be found very 

 useful, on account of its earliness.
