riculture Wilson a comparative report on

market discrimination between the breeds
is slight. only 10 cents hundred pounds

Hes Majesty's Yellow Tomatoes.
From the st. James Gazette.

The Royal Horticultural Society held its
annual show in the Crystal Palace last
week. The fruit was more enormous than
ever, and that sent up from the royal gar
dens in Windsor was magnificent. Her ma
jesty exhibits only yellow tomatoes this
year, and that the Golden Jubilee" 1t is
strange that the yellow tomato is not more
used. The golden fruit is certainly very
decorative. Her majesty's pineapples were
superb. Among the other exhibitors were
the Duchess Of Cleveland, Lady Henry
Somerset, Lady L. Fortescue. the Hon.
Mrs. Wingfield. Earl Percy. Earl of Har-
rington, Lord Foley, etc. At flower shows
we have noticed lately that the different
species Of Physalis are being largely
shown. There Is nothing more decorative
in autumn than the inflated orange calyx
OF these plants. 1t Is exquisitely brilliant
In color.
