Oxheart--118 Days, seed; 90 Days, plants. This 
is a very late tomato with long, thin vines and 
light foliage. The fruits are enormous in size, 
the shape of a beef heart, and with such a solid ° 
internal structure that there is very little room 
left for seed. The flavor is very mild and sweet 
which is preferred by some people to the more 
‘acid flavors. 
Ponderosa—115 Days, seed; 85 Days, plants. The 
foliage of this variety is large and very spread- 
ing. The fruits are large and flattish round in 
Shape, somewhat irregular and a rough exte- 
rior, Since the internal structure is very solid, 
Ponderosa is favored by many as a home gar- 
den variety.
