“We have planted the Ponderosaevery 
season since you brought it out, and we 
find thereis no tomato thatequals it. To 
cut up one weighing 1¥% to 2 Ibs. is like 
earving a nice sliceofsteak, and then the 
flavor is so fine.”

“JT will not attempt to praise Ponder- 
osa, aS I could find no language to ex- 
press my high appreciation ofthis toma- 
to. It is the one we grow to eat at 
Woodbine Farm—that’s all.”’

no other as long as I can get Ponderosa. 
I have taken first premiums the last five 
years at our County Fair.”

Ponderosa Tomatoes which we grew in 
our garden last year. The fruit was

“T have been disappointed in the Pon- 
derosa Tomato the last two years. I 
got the seed trom other parties, and 
they are not like the ones I got from 
you. Please send me the true seed, and 
send 28 Soon as you can.””

Henderson's Ponderosa Tomato. 
RANDEST TOMATO 
ON EARTH. 
THE 
IT HAS RECEIVED MORE ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE AND HAS TAKEN MORE 
FIRST PREMIUMS THAN ANY OTHER SIX VEGETABLES COMBINED. 
QUALITY BEYOND PRAISE SOLID AS BEEFSTEAK 
SHAPE PERFECT———SIZE MASSIVE EARLY AND LATE—————— 
LUXURIANT GROWER PRODIGIOUSLY PROLIFIC-——-SUCCEEDS EVERYWHERE 
HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is in every way splendid. It excels in 
magnificent sizé, often attaining a circumference of 18 inches and weighing 2, 3 and 4 
pounds each; perfect in form; free from wrinkles and fissures; as smooth as glass and as 
solid and meaty as beefsteak, free from watery cavities and almost seedless; it ripens 
thoroughly, its glowing crimson color permeating the flesh to the heart; it is free from 
rot, but, above all, the delicious quality and flavor are its crowning merits—toothsome 
and rich when sliced, savory and delicious when canned. 
HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is a luxuriant, healthy grower, indepen- 
dent of droughts, free from blight, and a prodigious, early and continuous bearer. First 
ripe fruits are often picked in 10 weeks from seed sowing, while late fruits may be gath- 
ered until frost. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is now grown in every State in the Union 
and every civilized country on the globe, and from everywhere it receives nothing but enthu- 
Siastic praise. Eulogistic letters regarding it are received by us in annually-increasing 
thousands, and our sales of Ponderosa seed last season were double those of any pre- 
vious year, thus convincingly proving that the marvelous success and popularity it has 
already achieved has not yet reached its zenith. 
HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is better and better every year. It is now 
so highly bred, so free from seeds, that we only get ten pounds of seed from an acre, 
where formerly we harvested twenty to thirty pounds, while ordinary tomatoes yield one 
hundred pounds or more of seed per acre; this fact alone shows that Henderson’s Pon- 
derosa is almost all solid meat, and as nearly seedless as is possible to perpetuate it. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. 0z., $2.00 ¥ Ib. 
HENDERSON’S “PONDEROSA” TOMATO SEED, purchased direct from us, insures the best grade, saved from selected fruits. It seeds 
too sparingly to be profitable for most sellers of seeds, so many inferior stocks of Tomato are being offered under the name of ‘‘Ponderosa.”
