692 FIRESTEEL TOMATO—A new development, 
being a cross between Pritchard and Bison intro¬ 
duced by one of our local successful market gar¬ 
deners, who has specialized in tomato breeding for 
a number of years. This gardener drops into our 
office from time to time and shows us unsolicited 
testimonials he receives from growers all over the 
country. North, South, East and West, praising 
him for introducing this tomato. The yields are 
outstanding and the flavor is unsurpassed in any 
tomato. It is a self pruner. Consequently the 
plants can be planted close together. In 1938 in 
Davison county. South Dakota, a yield of over 
800 bushels per acre was gathered from Piresteel 
tomato. 70 days to maturity.

finer flavor than the original strain, particularly
