The Largest and Best Flavored Scarlet Tomato 



Almost Seedless 

 Practically Coreless 



Unparalleled in the history of tomato breeding — Richmeat now 

 stands supreme as the World's Quality Tomato, as well as the 

 largest and meatiest. Among the remarkable characteristics of 

 this variety, are the vigorousness of its growth and its drought- 

 resisting qualities, the latter fact having been fully proven by its 

 behavior in drought stricken sections of the country during that 

 unforgetable summer of 1934 when Richmeat continued producing 

 luscious fruits after all other varieties had withered away. 



The fruits are rich scarlet in color, very large and meaty; fruits 

 weighing up to three pounds are not unusual. They are round-oval 

 slightly flattened in shape, and it is a very shy seeder as no distinct 



seed cells are produced, but on the contrary it develops a solid 

 mass of rich, firm pulp. Its flavor is deliciously sweet and free 

 from acidity. 



When setting out plants of Richmeat, it is recommended to 

 space them farther apart than ordinary varieties, on account of its 

 vigorous habit; also the yield and size of the fruits will be increased 

 if some of the superfluous foliage is pruned away. 



Richmeat is a main crop variety, and its bearing season covers a 

 long period. We heartily recommend it to home gardeners and 

 roadside stand producers, who cater to a quality trade.

 A Home Garden Tomato of Superior Excellence 



Customers who grew it say that they have never grown a tomato 

 that was more beautiful, more meaty, or better flavored. It is not 

 uncommon to see the vines carrying fruits weighing two pounds each. 



The color is brilliant scarlet and the skin is so smooth as to give the 

 fruits a polished appearance. The solidity and weight of this variety 

 are derived not from a thick-fleshed outer wall and tougb skin, but, like 

 our famous Ponderosa, the seed cavities have given way to a solid 

 mass ol meaty, succulent flesh, so that the fruit is practically seedless. 

 The plant is vigorous and bears large crops of beautiful fruit. 



Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



891 JUBILEE 



This new orange colored variety will appeal to growers desiring a 

 yellow tomato. The plant is vigorous and produces over a long season. 

 Fruits are globe shaped, of the Marglobe type, weighing about 6 ounces. 

 The quality is excellent for salads or juice, due to low acidity and few 

 seeds. 



Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00. 



Henderson's Famous Ponderosa is one of the most pop- 

 ular juice tomatoes grown. Be sure to can a generous 

 supply for use this winter. Juice made from Jubilee, 

 Golden Ponderosa or The Orange offer pleasing variations.

At last we have developed a tomato that can be placed in the clas c 

 of fruit, as its delicious, sweet flavor and solid meaty texture make it 

 possible to eat it at any time as one would eat a peach. 



Practically free from acidity and seeds, it makes a most delicious and 

 appetizing morsel, whether eaten raw between meals, as a dessert, or 

 prepared in any of the standard methods.

 luscious, beautifully formed, deep pink tomatoes, this great addition

 the world.

This new variety developed by the New Jersey Agricultural, Experi- 

 ment Station produces a sturdy plant with thick stem and an abun- 

 dance of foliage to protect the fruits from sun-scald. The fruits are 

 large and similar in shape to Marglobe but ripen earlier and are of 

 a bright scarlet color. The flesh is firm and red throughout, which 

 makes it an ideal canning and juice tomato.
