And the various Ponderosas are still going strong.
All of the following were introduced by the Peter Henderson CO;
Ponderosa ( pink but not part of the name) in 1891
Red Ponderosa in 1892
Golden Ponderosa in 1914
Wins All, an improvement on Pink Ponderosa in 1924.
Red Ponderosa is also known by several names the most well known being Crimson Cushion.
I especially like Wins All which was given that name after a contest to decide on the name of this variety.
