iQ'et'*^®T.®®'^'■^‘■‘®ty originated by Mr. C. A. Keves in 
hli oame up m a plot of ground, where several varieties 
bad been grown the preceding year. Not having the -in 
^®i®® J usual smell of tlie tomato plant, M?. Ket es 
tiansplanted it out of curiosity. The plant nroduced' i 
cluster of frnit 20 in number, within 12 inches of the root 
ripening at lea^ 30 days earlier than any of the several 
varieties m Mr Keves’ grounds. This year lie tested U with 
nnci Other leading kinds, and found it SO davs 
eailmr than either. Whole clusters of from 10 to 20 in‘a 
cluster of the Prolific, were fully ripe, while the Tilden con”, 
tamed but one single specimen on the vine. The fruit of this 
variety grows m clusters witlifrom 7 to 20 clusters oii a v nY 
and the fruit not over 18 inches from the root. The foliaee 
Is very large, some of the leaves measuring 8 Inches in len o-Tli 
b\ 6 m breadth, entirely distinct from other varieties Sir 
Ne>es exhibited both frnit and foliage of this tomato'at tiie 
annual exlubition (Sept., 1866), and it Is in the oniiiloii of the 
'V'®'^ ?•"/} distinct variety and worthy of trial 
We can only add, that, having cultivat-d this tomato the 
past year, and caretully watched the growth and ripening of
