"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 adveDt of this splendid variety 

 verifies this prediction. The "Crimson Cushion" is more sym- 

 metrical in shape than the Ponderosa, and is much thicker through 

 from stem to " blossom end " ; in fact, so marked is this character- 

 istic that it is frequently almost round. The color is brilliant 

 scarlet crimson, untinged with purple, and ripens up almost com- 

 pletely 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. It 

 is enormously prolific and early for so large a Tomato. (-Sec cut.)

"Crimson Cushion" Tomato. 



"I 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." 



THOS. H. BRIXTOX, Chadds Ford, Delaware Co., Penna. 



"I 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 IY2 lbs. each, and measured ITV2 inches in circumference 

 andSVz inches acrossbottom ot 'bloom-end." — JOHX L. BOARDMAX, Macon, Ga. 



" I picked my last 'Crimson Cushion' Tomato from the vines on October Sth; 

 it measured 16 indies in circumference and of the firmest flesh I ever saw. I con- 

 sider 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 lit tie higher in price still they 

 are the cheapest, as qua-lit y and growth are certain." 



R. H. UOAG, Jr., Xorcross, Minn. 



" The ' Crimson Cushion' is so far ahead of any other varieties that I think 

 they are not worth our not ice. 1 have nice I arm- solid Tomatoes when my 

 neighbors have none. I never plant sends of my own raising but always order 

 from you."— Mis. A. II. LOOS, "". Lafoyette, O. 



" I had one plant of your ' Crimson Cushion ' Tomato last summer planted by 

 a post ten feet high : it grew three feet above i he p< 1st a od 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. II'. McGOHEE, Clarksrille, Tenn. 



"Although last season was very unfavorable, especially the latter part, yet I 

 had some very tine ' Crimson Cushion ' Tomatoes. I counted on one stalk some 

 forty tomatoes, all perfect and some very large " 



IRWIN WALTHOVR, Greensburg, Pa. 



" I planted the ' Crimson Cushion' Tomato last year, and though 1 have tried 

 many others, I have never seen any that equals the 'Crin s< - lion.'" 



B. H. CRAIG, Selma, Ala. 



" Last season your ' Crimson Cushion' Tomato beat anything in this vicinity 

 for earliness, size, form and quality." 



W. It. MORRISOX, 5152Eastou Ave., St. Louis. Mo. 



" 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."— GEORGE L. TAYLOR. Hamlet. 111.
