TOMATOS AT THE GUILDHALL. 
I do not know who made the award to the Tomatos at 
the Guildhall Show, but I thought the disqualifying of 
the six dishes shown by Mr. Waite to have been very 
unfortunate. The schedule asked for six dishes of 
Tomatos, one variety in each dish. Although on the 
face of it obviously intended to ask for six distinct 
varieties ; yet, as worded, it simply conveyed the im¬ 
pression that only one variety should be in a dish, and 
that the samples be not mixed. Thus, had anyone 
shown one variety only in all the dishes he would have 
been strictly within the terms of a very badly drawn 
class. 
But the point of contention is, how is it possible, 
having regard to the fact that presumably six varie¬ 
ties were meant, for anyone to show the best exhibition 
type, viz., the smooth, round, scarlet forms! Which 
are distinct and which are not ? Emphatically, were 
there set up under precisely similar circumstances 
dishes of Perfection, Hackwood Park, Trophy, 
Mikado, Conference and Ham Green Favourite—if the 
fruits were selected fairly even, I would defy any score 
of judges to tell which was which. I could show 
Conference which no one could distinguish from Per¬ 
fection or any other similar variety, and yet who will 
deny that Conference is not a distinct variety ? 
I have before shown, and repeat, that in the selection 
of all kinds, the finest and handsomest fruits being 
chosen for the purpose, the natural tendency of the 
process is to produce identity of character. If a class 
for half-a-dozen varieties choose to demand that one 
shall be yellow, another brick-red, another sutured, 
another oval and so on, then distinctness of character 
may be found ; but as schedules are drawn now, and 
having regard to the universal taste for handsome, 
smooth, round, scarlet fruits, it is obvious that such 
fruits, even though of sorts nearly or absolutely allied, 
will be chosen for competition by cultivators.— A.D. 
Comparing Notes by Telephone. — At a recent 
meeting of the Town Gardening section of the Man¬ 
chester Field Naturalists’ Society, at the offices of the 
National Telephone Company in Faulkner Street, 
Manchester, those who were present had an opportunity 
of conversing with their London members through the 
new telephone wire to London. The Manchester and 
London committees were put into communication, and 
opinions were exchanged on the subject of plant life in 
towns. Councillor Smallman occupied the chair at the 
Manchester meeting, and at the London meeting Sir 
Philip Magnus, Dr. Charles Roberts, Lieutenant-Gen¬ 
eral Strachey, Mr. Mackenzie, Epping Forest, and other 
gentlemen were present. A scheme was submitted to 
the combined meeting for determining the effect of fogs 
upon animal and vegetable life. The scheme met with 
general approval, and a joint committee was appointed 
to report upoD it to a future meeting. A conversation 
afterwards took place as to the quality and vitality 
of the trees on the Thames Embankment.
