HENDERSON’S WINSALL WINS 
PRIZE TOMATO EVERYWHERE 
The outstanding merits of Henderson’s Winsall Tomato are its 
remarkably vigorous and disease-resistant growth, its uniformly round 
form, its large size, and the delicious flavor of its firm flesh. 
Henderson s Winsall is about the same season as Ponderosa in 
maturing its first fruits, but its second fruits seem to ripen more 
rapidly than do the fruits of Ponderosa. The coloring is indeed 
yecioe the bright pinkish red extending close up to the stem ends. 
enderson’s Winsall is very meaty, the entire fruit being edible, tender 
and delicious, and Temarkable for an almost entire absence of seeds. 
It is far more uniform in both size and conformation than the popu- 
lar Ponderosa, and eclipses it in productivity. 
Picked just before the stem-end is entirely red, and spread on a 
low table, stem-end down, in a cool basement, it ripens in a day or 
two to as near perfection as could possibly be. 
Winsall Tomato is very vigorous in growth. Therefore it is 
necessary to prune away some of the superfluous foliage to ad- 
mit light and air to the flowers and assist pollenization. A dense 
mass of leaves and vines overshadowing the blossoms will cause 
them to fall, and fail to produce fruit. Season 85 days. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts. for $1.00; 14 oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50. 
Has Grown WINSALL Since 1924 . 
“T have been growing the Winsall Tomato ever since you introduced 
it and it is the best tomato, by far, in every respect, that I have ever 
grown. It is the best keeper, has fewest seeds, the most perfect flavor; 
absolutely no core or fibrous tissue; superb for canning; peel so free 
from rancidness that it need not be peeled before eating. I have many 
times kept specimens from four to eight weeks in the open air and they 
were firm and still had their perfect flavor. The Winsall is also the most 
resistant to wilt of any variety that I have tried.

889 GOLDEN PONDEROSA 
A yellow Tomato that has color alone tg distinguish it is not entirely 
novel. Many such-varieties have been introduced, but have failed. 
GOLDEN PONDEROSA is equal in every respect to its parent the 
red Ponderosa, possessing all the qualities that have made our Pon- 
derosa a household word throughout the land, and, in addition, has 
the striking color which compels instant attention. It originated as a 
“Sport’” from red Ponderosa and comes remarkably true; but some 
parti-colored fruits may be expected. . 
For salad purposes it presents an attractive and inviting appearance. 
Season 85 days. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00; 14 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50.

TOMATO 
«20 RYSTAL WHIT 
ASTARTLING 
Novelty 
Pure Alabaster White as Tempting and as Delicious as it is Beautiful 
With the development of this, the latest and most startling 
vegetable novelty that has been introduced in many years, we 
have completed the object of our aim and labors, which date back 
to the introduction of Henderson's Golden Ponderosa in 1914. 
Crystal White possesses all of the merits and qualifications that 
have made Golden Ponderosa increasingly popular since its intro- 
duction. The character of its growth is quite similar in many 
respects to that variety. It is just as vigorous, and develops into 
a large sized plant with a plentiful supply of foliage, like a typical 
Ponderosa. The fruit is produced as freely and it is by far the 
most attractive that has ever been originated. The color is a 
lovely alabaster white that appeals to all who see it. There is no 
trace of red in this variety. 
The firmness of Crystal White is due to its meatiness, which 
quality also characterizes its desirability for slicing. Its flavor 
PONDEROSA 
is-all that can be desired; a mild full richness which appeals to all. 
Furthermore, it is possible with this variety, for people who are 
allergic to tomato poisoning, to enjoy Tomatoes to their heart s 
desire, without any ill effects. This is due to the fact that it 
contains less acid than any other variety. ‘ 
Crystal White possesses eye appeal to a degree that will insure 
its popularity wherever grown. When served sliced either alone 
or in combination with a red variety such as Richmeat, its tempt- 
ing appearance will instantly arouse fagged or jaded appetites. 
The present vogue of white table arrangements finds a worthy 
and valuable ally in this new fruit. A salad composed of frosty 
white slices of Crystal White with a background of other white 
salads, wili prove to be a masterpiece of culinary temptation. 
Season 85 days from plant setting. Supply of seed limited. 
_ Price, pkt., 25c; 5 packets, $1.00. 
900 PONDEROSA 
For Years the Best ‘and Most Popular in the 
American Garden—Produces Fruits Mag- 
nificent. in Size—Delicious in Flavor— 
From its first appearance it gripped and held 
the admiration of all who grew it, and each re- 
curring season sees thousands mjore added to the 
number of its appreciative admirers who have 
sent us testimonials in such numbers that if we 
printed them they would monopolize a quarter 
of the pages of the catalog. 
A serious defect in many Tomatoes is the hard, 
core-like character of the cell walls, which fre- 
quently remain green and-hard long after the 
other parts of the fruit are ripe. We have suc- 
ceeded so thoroughly in modifying, developing, 
and enlarging these cell walls in Henderson’s 
Ponderosa that they have almost filled the seed 
cavities, which in less carefully bred strains con- 
tain only seed and watery pulp. 
__ The original, highly bred and selected type of 
Ponderosa can only be secured direct from us, as 
we do not supply dealers. Season 85 days. 
Price, pkt., 15c; oz., $2.00; 14 lb., $6.00.
