682 GIANT PONDEROSA TOMATO ^ 



Extremely large, purplish pink; mild flavor (81 days) 



Although essentially a home garden tomato and not suit- 

 able for shipping, many owners of roadside stands have 

 found that Ponderosa meets with a ready sale when offered. 

 In some sections the sales have been quite heavy, no doubt 

 on account of its gigantic size, and when eaten, for its 

 mild and delicious sub-acid flavor which is preferred by 

 many people. Although introduced to cultivation many 

 years ago, this most attractive purplish pink colored 

 tomato is, today, one of the most popular and in the 

 greatest demand. Its vigorous vines undoubtedly produce 

 the most gigantic tomatoes ever known, and in great pro- 

 fusion if the soil is not too rich. It has been successfully 

 bred with the object of filling up the seed cavities so that 

 it is now as solid as a Beefsteak and almost seedless.
