 den Tomato, and not suitable for shippin 

 many owners of roadside 

 stands have within the last 

 year or two found that Pon- 

 derosa 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 over 40, years 

 ago, this most attractive 

 purple-crimson colored To- 

 mato is still very popular and 

 in great demand. Each succe 

 sive season sees thousands i 

 new converts to Ponderosa. I 

 vigorous vines undoubted 

 produce the most gigantic 

 Tomatoes ever known, and in 

 great profusion 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 soUd as a beefsteak and 

 almost seedless. Pkt. 15c; Vz oz. 35c;
