RICHMEAT 



Almost Seedless 

 Practically Coreless 



The Largest and Best Flavored Scarlet Tomato 



Jnparalleled in the history of tomato breeding — Richmeat now 

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

 est and meatiest. Among the remarkable characteristics of 

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

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

 avior in drought stricken sections of the country during that 

 orgettable summer of 1934 when Richmeat continued producing 

 :ious fruits after all other varieties had withered away. 



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

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

 htly 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. First fruits are ready in about 85 days from the setting 

 out of the plants.

915WINSALL 



Winsall Wins 

 Everywhere 



'he outstanding merits of Henderson's Winsall Tomato are its 

 arkably vigorous and disease-resistant growth, its uniformly round 

 n, its large size, and the delicious flavor of its firm flesh, 

 isnderson's Winsall is about the same season as Ponderosa in 

 curing its first fruits, but its second fruits seem to ripen more 

 idly than do the fruits of Ponderosa. The coloring is indeed 

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

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



delicious, and remarkable for an almost entire absence of seeds. 

 |t is far more uniform in both size and conformation than the popu- 

 Ponderosa, and eclipses it in productivity, 

 icked just before the stem-end is entirely red, and spread on a 



table, stem-end down, in a cool basement, it ripens in a day or 



to as near perfection as could possibly be. 

 Winsall Tomato is very vigorous in growth. Therefore it is 

 essary to prune away some of the superfluous foliage to ad- 

 : light and air to the flowers and assist pollenization. A dense 

 ss of leaves and vines overshadowing the blossoms will cause 

 m to fall, and fail to produce fruit. Season 85 days.

PONDEROSA 



Has Grown WINSALL Since 1924 



"I 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 to distinguish it is not entirely 

 novel. Many sucli 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.

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 Ponderosa has 

 gripped and held the admiration of all who 

 grew it, and every year has seen thousands 

 more added to the number'of its apprecia- 

 tive admirers'. Testimonials have been pour- 

 ing in continuously and if printed would 

 require several pages of this catalogue. 



Unlike many other tomatoes Ponderosa 

 is not only very large, but also very solid 

 and heavy. There is no hard core which in 

 other softs frequently remains green and 

 hard after the fruits are ripe. 



The original, highly bred, and selected 

 type Ponderosa can be secured only direct 

 from us as we do not supply dealers any- 

 where. Season 85 days. 



Price, pkt., 15c; oz., $2.00; )4 lb., $6.00.
