915 WINSALL 
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 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. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts. for $1.00; 14 oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50. 
889 GOLDEN PONDEROSA 6Special Strain) 
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; 14 oz., $1.50; oz., $2.50. 
896 THE ORANGE 
A Real Deep-Orange Colored Tomato of Appetizing Appearance 
The vines are vigorous and free from disease; and 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. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00; 14 oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50.

876 BEEFHEART (Red) 
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 
is derived not from a thick-fleshed outer wall and tough skin, but, like 
our famous Ponderosa, the seed cavities have given way to a solid 
mass of 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; 14 oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50.

900 PONDEROSA Henderson’s 
For Years the Best and Most Popular in the American Gar- 
de Har poduess Fruits Magnificent in Size—Delicious in 
avor— 
From its first appearance it gripped and held the admiration of 
all who grew it, and each recurring season sees thousands more added 
to the number of its appreciative admirers who have sent us testi- 
monials in such numbers that if we printed them they would monopolize 
a quarter of the pages of the catalog. 
There are two kinds of solid tomatoes. One derives its solidity from 
a thick-fleshed outer wall and a tough skin, and this is eagerly sought 
by the shipper. The solidity of Ponderosa is different. A serious defect 
in many sorts is the hard, core-like character of the cell walls, which 
frequently remain green and hard long after the other parts of the fruit 
are ripe. 
We have succeeded 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. Spurious and 
uncared-for stocks will be disappointing.

888 THE FRUIT TOMATO 
Solid, Meaty, Sweet, Delicious Flavor 
Almost Seedless 
At last we have developed a tomato that can be placed in the class 
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. 
Vigorous in growth, disease-resistant, bearing great clusters of sweet, 
luscious, beautifully formed, deep pink tomatoes, this great addition 
to the list of table delicacies will soon be known and grown throughout 
the world. 
Price, pkt., 25c; 5 pkts., $1.00; 14 oz., $2.00; oz., $3.50.
