In 1889 our prize of was won by Mr. fhas. A. (iould, Kokomo, Ind., with six Turner Hy- brids treighin^ fully nine pounds. The foli- age of the Turner Hybrid differs from that of nearly all other Tomatoes, the large leaves being entire, and not cut. It is a rank, strong grower, with thick stalks, and is enormously product- ive, out-ijielding all other varieties. It grows quickly and is ready to market very early for so large a tomato, i'he fruit is eilra large in size and remarkably solid. The average weight of the tomatoes is"from twelve to eighteen ounces, but many specimens rea( li twenty to twenty-four ounces in weight. Tin ripen up evenly and are entirely free ], core. They make the handsomest sliced we have ever seen, and have been pronounced by all who have tried them unequaled in fine flavor and table qualities. The form of the fruit is round and thick through, smooth in snwimens of medium to large size, and, while the extra large fruits are not so regular in shape, they are equal in quality, firm and solid ; the color a very brilliant red.
