Final one for awhile, but a good contrast - 1897 Salzer tomatoes
 

My latest score is an incredibly fragile 1897 Salzer - they used much thinner paper than some of the other companies.

Red tomatoes: (23 types)

Salzer's Fifty Day
Salzer's Earliest of All
Salzer's First Prize
Salzer's Morning Star (described as very large fruited)
Paragon
Volunteer
Early Mayflower
Trophy
Cardinal
Hundred Day
Lorillard
Atlantic Prize
Favorite
Conquerer
General Grant
Perfect Gem
Salzer's New Pot Tomato
Red Currant
Stone
Aristocrat
Crimson Cushion
Royal Red
Red Granite


Pink tomatoes: (9 types)

Salzer's New Improved Peach
LaCrosse Seedling (sounds like a large fruited dwarf variety)
Salzer's Ferris Wheel (I think that 1894 is the introduction date for this)
Acme
Beauty
Turner's Hybrid
Mikado (strange they list both - supposed to be essentially the same tomato)
Buckeye State
Fordhook First


Yellow/orange tomatoes: (3 types)

California Fig Tomato
Golden Glory
Yellow Pear

No color indicated: (1 type)

Salzer's Giant Tree tomato (my suspicion - pink and potato leaf)

So, 36 different tomatoes in 1897. We found Golden Glory in the USDA collection, as well as Ferris Wheel. A few other interesting ones, like La Crosse seedling and Morning Star, seem gone for good.

Stone was in all three of your recent catalog listings. I still
think it's a very nice tomato that is not grown enough.

And Ferris Wheel.... Yummm...

Like to get my hands on the new pot tomato variety! Any description in the catalog?
