II. L. Ellsworth, then Commissioner of
the U. S. Patent office, in communicating
this recipe to to the American Farmer, in
a letter dated Patent Offioe, July 10, 1S-13,
says :

superior quality. From the taste, I should
suppose all the good qualities of the fruit

In appearance, the drum of
tomatoes resembles one of hgs so nearly,
that they might easily be mistaken for the
same. The sample is deposited by Mrs.
Steiger of this city, and the recipe trans-
mined with it, is enclosed for publication."
