The Tomato - Lycopersicon esculentum -,a member of the Solanaceae family, is one of the most useful and interesting of all horticulture plants. It ranks next to the potato and the sweet potato in total value on this continent. It heads the list among the perishable vegetables as well as ranking first as a canning crop. If "variety is the spice of life” then we owe this crop a great deal for according to Carver (1918) there are 115 ways of preparing it for the table.
