TOMATO TESTS..'" W Bert A11 Aronnd" Tomato, STotakM p - t 'TaH.tl rl!ew,-o.- ' . Elaborate testa of many varieties of tomatoes have -been made during tbe 'past few years by American Garden- lng. The following Items are- taken from I ta resume of these; Last year onr results from aeventy odd varieties were that a good type of Stone was the - ; best all round tomato, and after anotb er season's laborwe have no reason to modify that opinion. . Another tomato that has established a good reputation with os after three ': years' "test Is Trucker's Favorite. ' It Is of good size. a good shipper and of flue flavor, but baa a pink skin, which In some nia kets is a disadvantage. Royal Red makes a urge, handsome fruit, but In no way equals Stone aa a cropper. Earuana simply cropped Itself to deatb. We were able to gather. some very ly fruits of good qnaHty, but In mid season and late , the fruits were not properly colored and were poor In qunl ity. The vine sets such an enormous number of fruits tbat It cannot finish them. Trophy Is still an acceptable rruit, not so eany aa Btone. Early Michigan, grown this season for tbe first time,- waa well liked. Fruit medium In size, of high quality and tbe vine apparently a good yielder. A newcomer that baa found consid erable favor purely as an exhibition variety Is Enormous. .The bablt of the plant Is miserable. It cannot be train ed to a stake, and It makes a very poor busb. The yield of fruit Is exceedingly light, but tbe few perfect specimens obtained ara simply magnificent In weight It averaged from 14 to 10 ounces and when fully ripe la a bril liant, deep toned red almot.o4 though artificially polished. ; Quarter Century was disappointing In both yield and size, but for perfection and color of what fruits we did bare we know of nothing to equal It. - Tbe akin la almost ruby red. - - , In Honor Bright we have been able to discover more good .points' than our BOXOB BBIOHT, 0BOWKTO A STAKK, previous records showed. It is sickly looking In growth, bat Its yield of me dium sized . perfect fruits compares well wltb any tomato grown. Ita flavor la also acceptable to many people. It takes a tremendous time to ripen, wblah largely accounts for Its marvel ous shipping qualities. There Is ao doubt but tbst tb variety csa be grown In this country and successfully shipped to Europe, for If picked st tbe right stage It will ripen on the voyage. ' Among yellow skin. varieties Golden Jubilee waa by far tbe best For six. color and yield no other yellow ap proached it. Shan and Yellow Queen ara so much alike tbat tbe fruits of tbe one may be exhibited as tbe older. We have very little lo soy on tbe fine points of earllnesa of tba varieties tbat are credited Wltb tbat propensity Wa have about come to tbe conclusion that these comparative distinctions In tba time of ripening amount to but very little. In our experience, wltb tbe exception of Honor Bright and Trophy. Which ara tote, this snd test season there la very little difference to all tbe host This sessoo Stone wss tbe firm to ripen, snd very Urge perfect fruit were gathered.
