The second coming of the Arkansas pink tomato. Bradley county, Arkansas, became famous for the pink tomato. They were growing Gulf State Market, But Fusarium was making inroads. McFerran at the University of Arkansas set about the task of improving the Gulf State Market to keep the pink tomato competitive. Bradley was his first offering in 1961, followed by Traveler in the early 70's, Traveler 76, and the final edition Ozark Pink. Bradley is a good pink tomato, round moderate size, good flavor. Holds its own with OP's of that era.

I got these plants on sale at the local farm store in late spring. The cost was something like .50¢ for four plants! That was a smart investment for .50¢ since these three tomatoes in my photo would easily sell for $1.50 at the market! It is a first time growing these moderate size fruits for me, but I wouldn't hesitate planting them next year! The semi-pink flesh is very appetizing and dresses up any salad.
