BURPEE'S FARM ANNUALr FOR 1886. 69 Burpee's cardinal tomato. THE CARDINAL. This new tomato, named and in- troduced by us in 1884, has given excellent satisfaction. It colors right up to the calyx, and every specimen is vir- tually of one color, the most brillia-)it cardinal red; the flesh appears of the same rich color, being scarcely any lighter. The pulp is very thick, with comparatively few seeds and absolutely no green core. In the Car- dinal is nearly round and uniformly smooth, without any ridges. It is as early as any good tomato, and much larger in size than Livingston's Perfection. It has less acidity than other tomatoes, and is of superior flavor. The fruits are firm and solid; keep well. The plants, of vigorous growth, are comparatively compact in habit and bear abundantly throughout the entire summer, the fruits continuing to be large and fine.
