We note the date at which the first ten fruits were ripe to show the 
time when the fruits of the different vatieties were available for table 
use. The first tomato to ripen was of the Green Gage variety, and 
was noted July 31st or 112 daysfrom planting. The first large frnited 
variety that ripened ten fruits was the Alpha, the time of which was 
noted August 22nd or 135 days from planting. The New Currant, a 
very small variety, had ripened ten fruits on August 18th and the. 
Turk’s Cap, also a small variety, August 22nd. ‘The President Gar- 
field, a so-called new. variety, failed to ripen a fruit. 
We find that the order of the ripening of the varieties does not 
agree with that noted last season. Thus, last year the Acme was two 
days later than the Mayflower; the past season it was seven days ear- 
lier. Last year the Acme was six days earlier than the Paragon ; the 
past season it was thirty days earlier. Last year the Acme and Trophy 
ripened the same day, the past season the Acme was seven days earlier | 
* Failed to ripen.
