Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It seems to be uncertain at what date the Tomato was introduced into this country; but an old number of the Transactions of the Horti cultural Society mentions that some plants grown in 1818 averaged about zolb. Of fruit per plant, and some as much as 4olb., so that its cultivation in this country probably dates from the latter part of the eighteenth century.
