SALZER’S FERRIS WHEEL 
SALZER’S IMPROVED PONDEROSA 
Rightly named “Ponderosa” because of the large size 
it attains. Fruit is very solid, with few seeds. Very 
often large tomatoes, from their very size, are rough 
and have a tendency to split, but we selected this seed 
so exhaustively that we have removed the roughness 
and splitting tendency as far as it is possible to do so. 
^ Vines are vigorous and productive. Fruits 
large, oblong, purplish red, with thin skin. 
Flesh is solid, with a very small seed 
cavity, making it a most desirable variety 
for slicing. To all who desire large 
size, solidity and flavor, we unhesitat¬ 
ingly recommend it. Requires about 
140 days to mature. Chas. Stone, Bish¬ 
op, Calif., writes: "Bought one package 
of Salzer’s Improved Ponderosa last 
year and took first prize with them at 
the County Fair.”

The tomato is recognized by the medical profes¬ 
sion as holding five points of merit which makes it 
actually indispensable in the vegetable gar¬ 
den. It is the richest of all foods in vita¬ 
mins; it is the most wonderful 
and effective blood cleanser of 
all foods; it is the best of all 
vegetables for keeping the 
stomach and intestines in 
condition; it is an extraordi¬ 
nary tonic for the kidneys, 
and it is used widely in 
curing diabetes and 
Bright’s disease. In addi¬ 
tion, it is extremely val¬ 
uable for feeding the 
juice to infants, accom¬ 
plishing wonders in 
cleansing and building 
up the tiny stomachs. 
Every garden in the U. S. 
should contain at least a 
few tomato plants. Plant 
some this year! 
Salzer’s Ferris Wheel 
Is of the large Ponderosa 
type and averages about 
1% pounds in weight, al¬ 
though at Cliffwood 
Farms we have grown 
specimens weighing over 4 
pounds. Fruits have thick, 
solid, meaty flesh, which is 
of the finest quality, de¬ 
licious, sub-acid flavor and 
very small seed cavity. The 
vines are strong and vigorous 
and easily bear their enormous 
weight of fruits which are of hand- 
some appearance, smooth, and 
which have a rich, dark purplish-crim¬ 
son skin. Salzer’s Ferris Wheel has 
continually developed for immense 
Size, uniformity, flavor, productiveness and to re¬ 
sist any tendency to split. Matures in about 142 
days. A grand tomato for the home gardener 
as well as for market gardeners. Mrs. Effie Dressel 612 
Rockwell Ave., Findlay, Ohio, writes, “Your Ferris Wheel 
Tomato is the be.st and biggest we have ever grown. The 
crop is sure and quality and flavor are fine.” Mr W H 
Beasore, Oakhurst, Ill., writes, "Your Ferris Wheel Tomato 
IS the greatest I ever raised. Had some weighing 2'/. 
pounds. They excel all others raised here.”
