Royal Red. Seed from Livingston & Son, originators. 
1 his variety is medium in time of ripening, very productive, fruits of large 
size, generally smooth, solid, color a beautiful red. This is a desirable tomato 
either for home use, market, or canning. 
Seedling No. 2 . Sent us for trial by Hoover & Moore, of 
Antlers, Colorado. The variety ripens a few days later than Beauty, fruits of 
medium to large size, roundish, free from ridges or furrows, very solid, of an 
attractive scarlet. A variety that will give satisfaction. 
Table Queen. Seed from Peter Henderson & Co., intro¬ 
ducers. A variety ripening in mid season, productive, fruits of large size, 
fairly smooth, some specimens much wrinkled, color as in Beauty, solid, and 
apparently a good shipper. 
Trucker s Favorite. Seed from Burpee & Co. This is a 
medium variety as to season, productive, but ripens slowly, requiring a long 
season to realize best results; fruits large, roundish, smooth, solid, walls thick, 
which renders it a good shipper, color as in Beauty. 
Vaghan s Earliest of All. Seed from Vaughan, the 
originator. 'Ihis is a variety, the only merit of which is earliness; fruits small, 
uniformly rough, of a light scarlet color, tender. 
SUMMARY. 
First: r lhe six varieties producing the largest amount 
of fruit by weight, from August 20th to September 1st, were Maules Earliest 
of All, \ aughan s Earliest of All, Atlantic Prize, Perfection, Bose Bud, and 
Ignotum. E,ach of the first three varieties yielded very nearly the same 
quantity of fruit within the period designated, which was from three and a 
halt to six times as much as that produced by the three latter sorts. 
Second: While the extra early varieties are desirable, 
where extreme earliness is aimed at, yet when the smooth, solid kinds come 
into market, there is little or no demand for the former which are generally 
rough and tender; hence those growing tomatoes for market should plant 
both the extra early and the second early or main crop in order to prolong the 
season. 
Third : t or second early, or main crop varieties, we 
recommend the following: Acme, Beauty, Perfection, Ignotum, Puritan, and 
Long Keeper. 
Fourth . The best varieties for canning are Beauty, 
Perfection, Long Keeper, Puritan, Ignotum, and Royal Bed. The three former 
varieties are of a dark red, or purplish color, and the three latter of a bright 
red or scarlet.
