Keport of the Horticulturist op the 
No. 24. TURK'S CAP,? '82. 
Syn. Turban, ? '82; Fr., Tomate Bonnet turc, Vil. : Ger., Scharlachrother 
Turkenbund Tomate, Vil. 
Fruit small, produced in clusters of ten to fifteen; somewhat oblate, 
but with a peculiar protuberance in the part opposite to the stem, 
caused by an abnormal development of a part of the carpels; outline 
more or less angular, sometimes somewhat corrugated; cavity small, 
distinctly furrowed; — plant remarkably vigorous and productive; — 
season very early. 
Of no value either for the table or market. 
Correctly figured in Gregory's catalogue of 1882. 
§ §. Outline regular or nearly so. 
No. 25. AUTOCRAT, Sib., '86, '87. 
The fruit averages a little smaller than that of Livingston's Perfec- 
tion; otherwise the two appear identical. 
No. 26. CARDINAL, Greg., 84; Thor., '87. 
Syn. Burpee's Cardinal, Burpee, '86. 
Fruit scarcely distinct from that of Livingston's Perfection, except 
in yielding fewer seeds. 
No. 27. COOK'S FAVORITE, Brill; Greg., '83. 
Very similar to the Little Gem, with the exception that the fruits 
average one-half larger. In season and qualities they are the same. 
Another Cook's Favorite, Land., '87, was entirely distinct from the 
above, the fruits being medium to large, and very regular. The stock 
was mixed, however, some plants bearing scarlet and others purplish 
red fruits.

Syn. Essex Bound Bed\Smooth, Greg., '85, '87: Large Bound Bed 
Smooth. Greg., '87. 
Fruit small to medium; oblate, inclining to hemispherical; cavity 
shallow, scarcely furrowed; basin wanting, the center marked by a 
russet spot of variable size and form; cells 3 to 8; flesh moderately 
firm, ripening very evenly; — plant vigorous; leaves rather largely 
2-pinnate; calyx segments rather shorter than corolla; season early. 
No. 29. EARLY SMOOTH RED, Vick., '87. 
Syn. Early Bed Smooth, Thor., '83: Early Bound Bed Smooth, Greg., '83: 
Extra Early Bed, Sib., '83 : Extra Early Trophy, J. & S., '86 : — Probably the 
White's Extra Early (Syn. Early Red, Extra Early) of BURR.
