It appears that the Early York and Golden Trophy were the ear- 
liest two varieties, each ripening its first fruit on Aug. 4, or 122 
days from planting. The Alpha was the first large fruited varle- 
ty to ripen ten fruits. 
We noted in our last report that the time of maturity of the dif- 
ferent varieties of the tomato is by no means constant. As an illus- 
tration of this we place in three separate tables, the number of 
days from planting to the time when the first ten fruits were ripe, in 
twenty-two so-called varieties, for three seasons, viz: 1883, 1884 and 
1885. The names in each table are placed in the order in which 
they ripened the first ten fruits, those inclosed in brackets having 
been marked on the same day: 
1883.
