y freight, Monday next, 207 pounds of verychoice seed of Maules New Imperial Tomato, all grown and selectedby myself. I have no more seed to sell this season. I trust this willreach you in good condition, and that every seed will be sold. I also wish to supplement these two letters of Mr. Halladays withthe following from Messrs. Jas. J. H. Gregory & Sons, Marblehead, Mass.: I was at Mr. Halladays, Bellows Falls, Vt., and examined his cropof tomatoes, and can say that I never saw a handsomer crop. Theywere uniform in size, ripened well around the stem, thick meated, andresembled the Dwarf Champion in color. As for earliness I cannot tell,only what Mr. Halladay claims for them. At the time he said they were14 days earlier than any other, he having tried them for five years withall the earliest varieties known. I measured several of the tomatoes;the result was 3% inches by 2V^ inches. From what I saw of it, I thinkit would make an excellent shipping tomato, being very firm and solid.
