The three samples called ‘‘ Cayenne ” are misnomers, as the Cayenne 
pepper, Capsicum frutescens, is a distinct species from the common 
garden pepper, being a perennial, with a woody stem, and _ not suffi- 
ciently hardy to endure our climate. hese are probably smaller 
forms of the Long Red and Long Yellow Peppers. * 
The Large Bell or Bull Nose and Sweet Mountain or Mammoth, are 
_ regarded by Vilmorin as synonyms. We have been able to see no dif- 
ference in them. 
A variety planted under the name Monstrosum proved to be the 
Long Red, and one under the name Long Yellow was spurious, being 
of the form of the Orange Bell. The latter seems to be anny a yellow 
form of the Large Bell or Bull Nose Pepper. 
“A variety planted under the name Sweet Spanish, was evidently 
spurious. 
The ‘‘ Large Squash ,” and ‘‘ Squash or Tomato Shaped,” were not 
perceptibly different, nor were the. ‘“‘ Oxheart” and ‘‘ New Oxheart.” 
TOMATO. 
Our test included sixty-four named samples. With the exception 
of the last five named in the table, the seeds, one hundred of each 
kind, were planted in boxes in the green-house, April 9, 10 and 11. 
Four plants of each sample were transplanted to the garden May 24,
