“Crimson Cushion” Tomato. 
“T write to let you know how well pleased I am with ‘Crimson Cushion’ 
Tomato. 
_Although not the earliest, they are among the best of 110 varieties. 
‘‘Again thanking you for yourkindness in sending seed for trial, I remain, 
THOS. H. BRINTON, Chadds Ford, Delaware Co., Penna.” 
“T have been raising your ‘Urimson Cushion’ Tomato this 
season, and think them by far the finest tomato for all purposes 
that I have ever grown. I weighed two last week that weighed 
1% Ibs. each, and measured 17% inches in circumference and 52 
inches across bottom of bloom-end.” 
JOHN L. BOARDMAN, Macon, Ga. 
“‘T picked my last ‘ Crimson Cushion’ Tomato from the 
vines on October Sth; it measured 16 inches in cireumfer- 
-ence and of the firmest flesh I ever saw. I consider it the 
finest Tomato that can be grown in this climate; it is 
_perfection. There are no seeds grown like ‘ Henderson’s,’ 
and if a little higher in price still they are the cheapest, 
as quality and growth are certain.” 
R. H. HOAG, Jr., Noreross, Minn. 
“The ‘Crimson Cushion’ is so far ahead of any other 
varieties that I think they are not worth our notice. I 
have nice large solid Tomatoes when my neighbors have 
none. J never plant seeds of my own raising but always 
‘order from you.” MRS. A. H. LOOS, W. Lafayette, O. 
“T had one plant of your ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomato 
last summer, planted by a post ten feet high; it grew three 
feet above the post and was full of fruit from bottom to 
top. I counted them as they ripened until I counted fifty, 
but many more ripened after I ceased to count them. 
After the frost came, I gathered enough green ones to 
make three gallons of pickle. This seems incredible, but it 
is nevertheless true.”’ 
MRS. J. W. McGOHEE, Clarksville, Tenn. 
“ Although last season was very unfavorable, especially 
ithe latter part, yet I had some very fine ‘Crimson Cushion’ 
Tomatoes. I counted on one stalk some forty tomatoes 
.all perfect and some very large.” 
They are of good size, very smooth and ripen up well at stem-end. 
THE LATEST PRODUCTION of the new 
«ALMOST SEEDLESS ”’ Class of Tomatoes. 
IRWIN WALTHOUR, Greensburg, Pa. 
“T planted the ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomato last year, 
.and though I have tried many others, I have never seen 
any that equals the ‘ Crimson Cushion.’”” 
B. H. CRAIG, Selma, Ala. 
“ Last season your ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomato beat anything in this 
vicinity for earliness, size, form and quality.” 
W. R. MORRISON, 515? Easton Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 
In fact 
“ The ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomatoes are good enough for me. pee 
sing 
I never saw their equal. I shall plant only these this year. 
their praises whenever opportunity offers.” 
GEORGE L. TAYLOR, Hamlet, IIl. 
“<T think the ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomato seeds you sell are the best 
Tomato seeds I have ever 
planted.” MRS. F. G. SPANN,

thoroughly 
When we introduced the Ponderosa, we hazarded the 
opinion that that famous variety was the forerunner of a 
new race of Tomatoes that would eventually displace the 
seedy, strongly acid sorts in general cultivation, and the 
advent of this splendid variety verifies this prediction. The 
‘“«Crimson Cushion” is more Symmetrical in shape than the 
Ponderosa, and is much thicker through from stem to 
“blossom end’’; in fact, so marked is this characteristic 
that it is frequently almost round. The color is brilliant 
scarlet crimson, untinged with purple, and ripens up almost 
completely to the stem. The ‘‘ Crimson Cushion,” like the 
Ponderosa, is almost seedless, requiring from 10 to 12 
bushels of ripe fruit to produce one pound of seed, whereas 
a pound of seed is realized from 3 bushels of ordinary 
Tomatoes. These figures tell better than any description 
the ‘‘seedless” character of this grand variety. The flesh is firm and ‘‘ meaty,” 
and of superb quality.
