682 Giant Ponderosa % 
Extremely large; purplish; mild flavor (81 days) 
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 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 solid as 
Maule’s Enormous, and almost seedless. 
Ponderosa is essentially a home garden tomato and not 
suitable for shipping, but many owners of roadside stands 
have found it very profitable. Because of the fact that 
these tomatoes are so huge and are unobtainable through 
commercial channels, home gardeners can display them 
with genuine pride. Their flavor is mild and preferred by 
many people because of its low acidity.
