No. 436. Wood’s Improved Pdnderosa 
Before our Brimmer was introduced, Ponderosa was the out¬ 
standing tomato in size and quality. Unfortunately, the old 
Ponderosa was rough and uneven. In our improved strain the 
tendency to produce rough fruits has been overcome without in 
any way sacrificing the many fine qualities that made this fine 
tomato famous. The plants are healthy and luxuriant, quite 
blight-resistant and continuous and abundant bearers. They are 
so vigorous that even in dry seasons we have grown tomatoes 
of unusual size. The fruits are practically all meat, with excep¬ 
tionally few seeds. If trained to a single stem, tomatoes weigh¬ 
ing a pound or more are not unusual. Color, purplish pink. 
Pkt. loc; oz. 40c; V4 lb. $1.35; lb. $5.00; 2-lb. lots $4.60 per lb.; 
5-lb. lots $4.40 per lb.; 10-lb. lots $4.15 per lb., postpaid.

beef heart, bu

is almost as large.

pink, about like 
Improved Ponder¬ 
osa; they have the 
same mild flavor 
and texture, but 
even fewer seeds; 
in fact, it is al¬ 
most seedless, fre¬ 
quently two inches 
of meat without a 
seed cavity. A fine 
tomato for the 
home gardner.
