Real Tomato "Tang" and a Long Season of Harvest -- Only from Park!
Tomato Better Bush Improved Hybrid
Indeterminate vines have short nodes for even bigger yields!
Walloping 4-inch fruits have a lusciously juicy consistency and great garden-fresh flavor!
68 days from setting out transplants. ISI (indeterminate short-internodes). If you're looking for an old-fashioned-flavored tomato with the juiciness and distinctive "tang" you remember from vine-fresh tomatoes of the past, Better Bush Improved Hybrid is the best choice. These big, luscious, 4-inch fruits grow very densely on indeterminate 4-foot plants, thanks to shorter internodes. The central stem rarely needs staking (except during those "bumper crop" times!), and this plant begins early in the season and just keeps going! Available only here at Park, this is a superbly garden-worthy variety with great yields of ultra-satisfying fruits. Resistant to Verticillium Wilt and Fusarium Wilt Race 1.
Start seeds indoors 5 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Plant outdoors when danger of frost is past and night temperatures consistently remain above 55 degrees F. If an unexpected late frost is forecasted, protect young plants with plastic sheeting or other cover. Set plants 2 to 2 1/2 feet apart. Pkt is 30 seeds. 1/32 oz. contains approx. 250 seeds.

A good all around tomato plant
I have been planting better bush for 5-10 plus years. They have been a dependable fairly compact plant. The tomatoes have a good acidic/sweet flavor. We usually plant around 35-40 plants in tomatoes cages in a 35 foot square garden space and get around 200 plus quarts of whole tomatoes and another 60 for salsa each year, and this does not include all the fresh tomatoes we eat. Our neighbors also love the flavor of these tomatoes. We have tomatoes producing from these plants from July to November.
