Ignotum. Seed from Michigan Agricultural College, m 
1888. This variety originated at the Michigan Agricultural 
College, in 1887, and was introduced in 1889. It possesses 
many points of excellence; its season is early, fruits large, 
regular in shape, solid, and remarkably smooth, of a bright 
scarlet color; a desirable variety for market and canning. 
Improved Chcmin or Apple. A variety sent us for trial 
by Hoover & Moore, of Antlers, Colorado, which seems to be 
identical with Chemin Market obtained from Vaughan. 
Lo^a 7 i s Giant Seedlhig. Seed from J. A. Everett & Co. 
A medium variety in time of ripening, fruits very large ai^ 
the greater part of them very rough; a few fairly smooth, 
solid, of a pinkish purple color, resembles Ponderosa some¬ 
what, though not so desirable as that variety. 
Long Keeper. Seed from Vaughan. A variety ripening 
as early as any of the desirable market sorts; fruits of medium 
to large size, very smooth, walls thick and solid; an excellent 
keeper, color as in Beauty. This is a desirable tomato both 
for home use and for mai'ket. « 
Meteor. Seed from J. M. Thorburn & Co. A dwart 
variety introduced by Thorburn & Co., in 1894, which 
resembles Aristocrat in habit of growth. The type does not 
seem to be well fixed; from twelve plants three types of fruit 
were noted, one of a bright scarlet, another similar to Acme 
in color, a third, a light scarlet and very much wrinkled. 
Aristocrat and Dwarf Champion are both preferable to 
Meteor. *
