SALZER’S 
IMMENSE 
FERRIS 
WHEEL 
TOMATO 
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 
85 daj'S to mature. Mrs. J. C. Mills, 
Reidy and Braddish Road, R. D. 1, Kan¬ 
sas City, Kans., writes, “VVe have been 
using your seed for 38 years. Your Im¬ 
proved Ponderosa and Yellow Poii- 
derosa are two of the best tomatoes w’e 
ever planted.’*

SALZER’S FERRIS WHEEL 
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 Perris Wheel 
is of the large Ponderosa 
type and averages about 
1% pounds in weight, al- 
t hough at Cliifwood 
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 
been continually developed for immense 
size, uniformity, flavor, productiveness and to re¬ 
sist any tendency to split. Matures in about 90 
days. A grand tomato for the home gardener 
as well as for market gardeners. Mr. Joe Kendall, 500 No. 
High St., Salem, Ind., writes, “I bought my first Salzer’s 
Seeds in 1888, and I first bought your Ferris Wheel Tomato 
.*16 years ago. It is still the best tomato.” Mr. J. W. Gertler, 
Beallsville, Ohio, writes, “On one plant of your Perris 
Wheel Tomato there was a cluster of seven big, fully de¬ 
veloped tomatoes. The seven weighed 8 lbs. 6 ozs. Am 
enclosing two photos of them.”
