Giant Oxheart 
Pride of Every Garden. 
Enormous Size. Delightful 
Flavor. Among large fruit- 
ed tomatoes this variety is 
unique. In form it is dis- 
tinct, since it is almost ex- 
actly the shape of a heart 
as the name implies, and 
single fruits sometimes 
; weigh more than two 
' pounds. When sliced, it 
does not show the large 
seed compartments of 
other tomatoes, but looks 
more like tender steak. 
This firm red flesh is non- 
acid, but instead of being 
flat-tasting it has a pleas- 
ing flavor. Matures in 87
