« PONDEROSA TOMATO 
(Purple crimson.) Although {ntroduced many years ago, in all that | tomato grown. The color is a glowing crimson; Shape very regular 
| time no tomato has ever surpassed the genuine Ponderosa in size or | considering its size, and it is considered by thousands of people the 
delicious, meaty flavor. It is not only the largest, but also the heaviest | best table variety in existence for slicing, having but few seeds. I offer

«os Bonny Best Early 
eae red.) This new variety is 
i) fully ten days earlier than Chalk’s 
| Harly Jewel, and within two or 
three days as early as Earliana. It 
is a vigorous grower, enormously 
rolific, with larger foliage than the 
} Karliana, which will protect the 
# fruit from the hot sun, on days 
when other early varieties with less 
foliage would scald, In shape it is 
roundish and slightly flattened at 
the stem end but thicker through 
| than most other tomatoes in its 
# class. In color it is a beautiful 
searlet red; setting its fruit in clus- 
ters of five or more at close inter- 
vals. When ripening each set 
ripens nearly all atonce, and ripens 
evenly all over up to the stem. 
i Makes a magnificent variety for 
@| slicing: its greatest characteristic is 
its uniformity of size and smooth- 
ness in shape. A good early red 
skin variety for all purposes.
