Firesteel Tomato 
FIRESTEEL 
A sensational new red tomato weighing 
from 12 to 15 ounces each, borne in 
clusters of 3 to 5, that matures in 
67 days! Firesteel runs uniformly to 
large size tomatoes, not only immense 
size at the first picking but clear to the 
end of the season. There are very few 
small tomatoes. 
Firesteel is of globe shape, smooth 
skin, of elegant flavor, free from acidity, 
exceedingly solid and meaty, ripening to a 
beautiful dark crimson red all over at 
the same time. Vine medium, vigorous, 
fairly open, with medium foliage. Fire- 
steel has set heavy crops no matter how 
dry and hot the weather. Has yielded 11 
bu. per row in dry hot seasons, compared 
with 4% bu. and 2% bu. per row of 
two other varieties. Wherever grown, 
Firesteel has created a sensation. 1124
