The Duke of Northumberland is the
largest land owner in England His
estates stretch almost from sea to sea,
and he can ride 100 miles and not
once leave his own domain. In ap-
pearance he is tall and thin, with red
dish hair and flowing whiskers. He
is old-fashioned in manner, and shows
many of the attributes of grand
seigneur. And he has all the pride
of the Percys and keeps up to the full
their Olympian traditions. He was
once heard to say: You will have TO
go long way back in our record to
find a Percy who was either idle or
spendthrift.' In religion he is an Irv-
ingite, like his father. and he has
converted the duchess to his own be-
lief.

sEEoLEss TOMATOES.
New jersey Experiment Station Seek.
Ing to Produce Such Variety.

We have but begun to appreciate
what may be accomplished by. cross
ing plants. selecting the best OF the
results and heavily feeding plants
with all kinds OF plant food. At the
New Jersey station. the horticulturist
has been trying to develop seedless to.
matoes by crossing. and he has prac.
ucally succeeded. Ordinarily tomato
contains hundreds OF seeds. but the
ones being produced at the station
mentioned contain few seeds, and
riety has been named the Giant on
account OF the very large size the
plant attains. 1t was produced by
crossing the Golden Sunrise upon
Dwarf Champion, and selecting the
best for number of years. Attempts
to cross this variety with others have
failed.
At the Wisconsin station Prof. Sand
stem has been trying to reach the
same end by feeding the plants very
large quantity OF plant food Most OF
his trials were carried on In the green
house. where he fertilized at the rate
OF 500 pounds OF nitrate OF soda, 600
pounds OF sulphate of potash and L..
900 pounds OF dessicated bone per
acre. He found that he was able to get
tomatoes with d smaller number Of
seeds than usual. and In some cases
the plants produced fruit having abso.
lutely no seeds. These had to be prop
agated by cuttings, but when they
were grown outside OF the greenhouse
they produced larger fruit than inside
the greenhouse.
Much is to be expected from this
kind of work. which IL 1t continues
will flood the world with new varie.
ties of plants. says Farmers Review.
The tomato is a good plant on which
to operate, as 1t is easily propagated
by means Of cuttings. Its rapid growth
and great fruitfulness make 1t pos
sible to early determine results. There
are quicker results obtained because
the tomato as we now have 1t Is an
artificial product and so lends Itself
very easily to variations. But what can
be accomplished with the tomato can
be accomplished in lesser degree on
plants less subject to variation. In the
production Of the seedless tomato
great truths are being enunciated anG
demonstrated.
