THE EARLIEST LARGE TOMATO. 
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 Pon- £ 
derosa, 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. It is enormously prolific and early for 
so large a Tomato. (See cut.) Price, 15c. pkt.,

HAT OUR CUSTOMERS 
THINK OF HENDERSON’S 
“J write to let you know how well pleased I am 
with ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomato. They are of 
good size, very smooth, and ripen up well at stem- 
end. Although not the earliest, they are among 
the best of 110 varieties. 
“Again thanking you for your kindness in send- 
ing seed for trial, I remain, 
THOS. H. BRINTON, 
Chadds Ford, Delaware Co., Penna. 
“T have been raising your ‘Crimson 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 114 
Ibs. each, and measured 17% inches in circum- 
ference and 5% 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 circumference 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., Norcross, 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. I 
never plant seeds of my own raising but 
always order from you.”

“T had one plant of your ‘Crimson Cushior’ 
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 ther 
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 incred- 
ible, but it is nevertheless true.”’ 
MRS.J. W. McGOHEE, Clarksville, Tenn. 
“Although last season was very unfavorable, 
especially the 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.” 
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.’’’

beat anything in this vicinity for earliness, size, 
form and quality.” W. Rk. MORRISON,

“The ‘Crimson Cushion’ Tomatoes are good 
enough for me. In fact I never saw their equal. 
I shall plant only these this year. I sing their 
praises whenever opportunity offers.”
