SALZER’S OXHEART TOMATO 
A very popular late variety, maturing in 90 days. The 
fruits are very large in size, often weighing one to two pounds 
each and even more, are purplish-pink in color, smooth, the 
shape of a beef heart, and with such a solid internal 
structure that there is very little room left for seed. 
Oxheart is of very mild and sweet flavor which is 
preferred by many people to the more acid flavors. Is 
a choice tomato for salads, with its thick, de¬ 
licious flesh! The flesh often shows an inch thick, 
without a single seed cavity. Receives its name 
from its shape, which is large at the stem end, 
tapering almost to a point. Vine growth is 
open and spreading, the fruits setting in clus¬ 
ters of 3 to 7.
