EEPORT ON TOMATOS AT CHISWICK, 1900. 
Seventy-seven stocks of Tomatos were grown for trial, all being sown 
on April 3. Two plants of each stock were grown on and fruited in 10 in. 
pots under glass ; and a row of each planted out on a warm south 
border to test their merits for open-air culture. The whole collection 
made good growth, both inside and out, and cropped well ; and with the 
exception of a few fruit outside being attacked by the " black spot " they 
were free from disease. The Committee examined the collection on two 
occasions, viz. August 16 and August 80.
