HENDERSON'S 

 PRIZE TOMATO 



W1NSALL WINS 

 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 five days later than 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 

 perfection, the bright pinkish red extending close up to the stem ends. 

 Henderson's Winsall is very meaty, the entire fruit being edible, tender 

 and delicious, and remarkable 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.

A yellow Tomato that has color alone to distinguish it is not entirely 

 novel. Many such varieties have been introduced, but, having failed 

 to gain popularity owing either to lack of flavor or some other essential, 

 have disappeared from cultivation. GOLDEN PONDEROSA is 

 equal in every respect to its parent the red Ponderosa, possessing all 

 the qualities that have made our Ponderosa a household word through- 

 out 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. 



Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00; l /2 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50. 



896 THE ORANGE Shown in Colors Page 5 



A Real Deep-Orange Colored Tomato of Appetizing Appearance 



The vines are vigorous and free from disease; an'd the fruits are very 

 large, almost equaling in size our famous Ponderosa. The outside color 

 is a beautiful orange blush, and the inside color, a deep golden orange. 

 There are very few seeds. The flavor is very good, mild and delicious; 

 quite different" from the yellow varieties which usually contain con- 

 siderable acid. 



Makes a most attractive dish when sliced and served with the red 

 varieties. All our customers should try the Orange Tomato this year.

CRYSTAL WHITE A ST N A o R vIit; ING 



Henderson's 



TOMATO 882 



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 



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 hearts 

 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, will prove to be a masterpiece of culinary temptation.

CRYSTAL WHITE 



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 more 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. 



Price, pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; oz., $1.65;
