Wood’s Improved 
Fonderosa 
Tomato 
No. 436. Wood’s Improved Ponderosa 
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.

425. June Pink Tomato Days).—sometimes called Pink 
uuiic A tiin. A Earliana. The earliest pink tomato. 
Except in color, it is very much like Spark’s Earliana, almost 
as early, rather smoother, but has the further advantage of hav¬ 
ing a longer fruiting season, the vines continuing to bear and 
ripen its fruit until frost. The fruit is medium in size, uniform, 
smooth and attractive, without cracks and green core. A first- 
class tomato for the earliest crop in the home garden, and a fine 
shipper, as it does not readily bruise and crack. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 
^ lb. 95c; lb. $3.50; 2-lb. lots $3.20 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $3.00 per lb.;

No. 438. Stone 
(Bright Scarlet). [110 Days] —One of the 
heaviest and most solid of the large tomato-es 
of good quality. Fine 
for main crop and 
deservedly one of 
the most popular to¬ 
matoes for home 
use, canning and the 
market. Is of large 
size, smooth, solid 
and meaty; stands 
up well tinder sum¬ 
mer heat, ripens 
evenly to the stem 
without cracking. 
Ours is an extra fine 
strain. Beware of 
cheap cannery 
stocks of Stone.

factory. A vigorous 
grower and enor¬ 
mously prolific, with 
splendid foliage 
which protects the 
fruits. The color is 
an intense scarlet; 
ripens evenly to the 
stem. Its greatest 
characteristic is its

Soimle Best 
422. Spark’s Earliana 
(Bright Red). (90 Days). — A real 
extra-early tomato, one that will make 
fruits of good size, solid and of good quality. Unfortunately, 
many Earliana stocks produce rough and irreguiar fruits. Every 
year our planting stock is saved from plants that bear only per¬ 
fect, smooth, extra early tomatoes, and is as near perfect, will 
bear as early and as many fruits as any that can be had. Pkt. 5c; 
oz. 25c; Ih. 70c; lb. $2.50; 2-lb. lots $2.25 per lb.; 5-lb. lots $2.10

Oxheart 
Tomato 
No. 432. Oxheart 
(110 Days) —Not 
only shaped like a 
beef heart, but 
when well gro.wn 
is almost as large. 
The color is deep 
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.

No. 423. Chalk’s Early Jewel 
verv shortly after Spark’s Earliana, but a heavierjc^^per, with 
fruits of larger size and 
sweeter flavor; in quality 
and handsome appear¬ 
ance like the Stone, but 
distinctly earlier. A par¬ 
ticular advantage is its 
hardy robust growth, ad¬ 
mitting of earlier setting 
in the field; withstands 
cool weather where more 
tender sorts would be 
injured. It continues 
bearing through a long 
season. Pkt. 5c; oz. 20c;
