TOMATO VEITCH’S GOLDEN JUBILEE. 
The several fine exhibits of this Golden Tomato 
brought before the public during the past two years, 
but particularly the magnificent trophy at the great 
show of British-grown fruit at the Crystal Palace 
last autumn, ought to be sufficient to remove any 
remaining prejudices which the British public may

additional charm to a variety already admitted on 
all hands to be the finest and most handsome yellow 
Tomato brought before the public. The flesh is of 
excellent flavour, and so solid as to leave little room 
either for seeds or core. When first shown at a 
meeting of the Royal Horticultural Society on 
plainly shows the free-fruiting character of the 
variety, now being put into commerce by Messrs. J. 
Veitch & Sons, Ltd., Chelsea, who have enabled us 
to place the figure before our readers.
