is of medium size, and ripens quite evenly. Its right to this
name has been disputed, but whenever the field was free from
disease no complaint has been heard.
 4. Mikado has been much praised. It is a fine tomato for
home use; a little too large to make a good shipper. The blight
is very severe on this kind.
 5. Red Mikado is like Mikado, except that it is red
instead of purple.
 6. Paragon is of a good size; rather late; the color red;
the fruit somewhat inclined to be angular, but generally regular;
solid, but less productive than Volunteer.
 7. Peach is given because it is somewhat of a novelty;
does not bear much handling; a small pinkish tomato, with
more or less of a peach bloom and roughness; palatable, and a
decided acquisition to the table-garden; qualities good, but too
soft for shipping.
 8. Perfection is highly praised in seed catalogues, but can-
not stand shipping.
 9. Potato-l4af is so called because of the peculiar foliage.
It belongs to the Mikado kinds. The color is pink; fruit large,
and a good producer, but cannot stand the rough handling of
shipping.
 10. Stone is quite solid on account of the thick cell walls,
consequently a good shipper. More spherical than Beauty, and
often has a scar or other irregularity at the apex. The fruit
averaged a little heavier than that of Beauty. Probably some-
what more attacked by blight than Beauty, but less by macros-
porium.
 11. Volunteer is quite similar to Paragon, but more regu-
 lar and more productive; a good all-round tomato.
 12. Acme is another good variety. It will class well with
 Beauty and with Stone. In some cases it seemed quite certain
 that the so-called Acme tomatoes were really Stone.
