Burgess’ GIANT BEEFSTEAK 
Very Mild—Few Seeds—Red Fruits 
88 days. For mildness and tremendous size it is hard to beat Beefsteak, the 
standard large, late Tomato for the Home Garden. Fruits average 10 to 12 oz. 
in size, with many weighing a pound and some even more. Not as large as 
Ponderosa, but with better color, fiayor and mildness. The meat of Beefsteak 
is solid, fleshy and very mild, with few seeds. It makes an excellent slicer— 
nothing is more beautiful than a perfect 6” slice of a Beefsteak fresh from the 
garden. Its large red fruits are deep, but flat. The Burgess strain is re- 
markably smooth and well-shaped compared to others. For a home garden 
variety for slicing and canning, we recommend it highly.
