192 [ASSEMBLY 
We weighed the blanched portion of four plants of seventeen varie- 
ties. In twelve of these the weights of ¢ach row is given separately. 
The figures presented are the average of the four plants. It is prob- 
able, however, that the number weighed was too small to furnish a 
correct average for the varieties, and hence we offer no deductions. 
E@a-PLant. 
We planted seeds of egg-plant from sixteen named packages in the 
green-house April 6th. When of sufficient size a few plants of each 
lot were transplanted to the garden. ‘The samples planted were named 
as follows : Black Pekin, Extra Harly Dwarf Purple, Early Long Purple, 
Guadaloupe Striped, Ferry’s Improved Large Purple, Long Purple, 
Round Purple, Scarlet Chinese, Scarlet Fruited, Tomato Formed Red, 
Tomato Shaped Red, White, Round White, White Long Chinese, Long 
White China and Yellow. The fruits of the Extra Karly Dwarf Purple ~ 
were fit for use several days earlier than those of any other variety. 
Ferry’s Improved Large Purple bears a striking resemblance to the New | 
York Improved which we grew last season, and both are closely allied 
to the round purple. As grown by us the Tomato Formed Red, Tomato 
Shaped Red and Scarlet Chinese were undoubtedly synonyms, as were 
also the White Long Chinese and Long White China. The white 
varieties are interesting, but are not seemed for culinary purposes. 
PEPPERS. | 
We planted 100 seeds from each of nineteen named packages in 
boxes in the greenhouse April 9th and 12th. Six plants of each 
sample were transplanted to the garden May 24.
