Remarks. 



Tomatoes were well represented, and made a very satis- 

 factory display. Most of the larger and finer examples were 

 referrible to the Perfection type — which for size, form, and 

 colour seems to be very near perfection. Chemin, from 

 Messrs. Vilmorin, may be noted as apparently the same as 

 that variety. The one originated, however, in France, the 

 other in America, about the same time. The Scarlet Mikado, 

 of Vilmorin, a sport from the original Mikado, is a large and 

 promising variety. The Conference Tomato (Chiswick Hybrid) 

 is a variety which originated in the Society's Gardens, from 

 Horsford's Prelude x Perfection ; is remarkably free-fruiting, of 

 medium size, and well adapted for culture in the open ground. 

 The crimson or flesh-coloured varieties, of which Acme is the 

 type, do not find so much favour as the scarlet.
