Bonny Best Tomato

First introduced in 1908 by seedsman Walter P. Stokes of Philadelphia. He described Bonny Best as a "vigorous grower, enormously prolific" with tomatoes of "an intense velvety glowing scarlet" and a "marvelous uniformity in size and smoothness in shape". Indeed it quickly became a garden and farm favourite. Its meaty fruits are excellent for slicing and canning. Can be staked or allowed to sprawl. "There is no handsomer looking tomato than Bonny Best," Stokes wrote in his catalogue. 66-85 days.
