Crimson CusKion 



=TOMATO= 



The Crimson-Scarlet Brother of Ponderosa. 



SOME SUPERLATIVE MERITS OF 

 CRIMSON CUSHION: 



The Earliest Large Tomato — A continuous and 

 late fruiter — Of immense size and as smooth 

 as an apple — Ripens thoroughly all over, the 

 stem-end coloring as well — Almost seedless 

 and as solid as beefsteak — Prodigious bearer. 



VY7HEN we introduced the Ponderosa, 

 " we hazarded the opinion that that 

 famous variety was the forerunner of a new 

 race of tomatoes that would eventually 

 displace the seedy, strongly acid sorts in 

 general cultivation, and the advent of this 

 splendid variety verifies this prediction. 

 The Crimson Cushion is more symmetri- 

 cal in shape than the Ponderosa and is 

 much thicker through from stem to blos- 

 som-end ; in fact, so marked is this 

 characteristic that it is frequently almost 

 round. The color is brilliant scarlet-crim- 

 son, untinged with purple, and ripens up 

 almost completely to the stem. The 

 Crimson Cushion, like the Ponderosa, 

 is almost . seedless. The flesh is firm and 

 meaty and of superb quality. It is 

 enormously prolific and early for so large a 

 tomato. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. 

 oz., $2.00 I lb. 



-* We and our friends pronounce your Crimson 

 Cushion the most excellent tomato we ever ate; it has 

 spoiled us for any other." 



F. D. THAYER, Dudley, Mass. 



"Your Crimson Cushion surpasses any other 

 tomato I ever grew in beauty, flavor and size; they are 

 perfectly enormous. I am advertising them among my 

 friends by sending one to each of them for a meal.'* 

 Mrs. KATIE R. WHITE, Lake Providence, La. 



"Crimson Cushion is my favorite tomato. It 

 is magnificent, simply perfect ! It is impossible to 

 exaggerate its merits. I had dozens of them that 

 measured 1§ feet in circumference and as good as 

 they are large." 



Miss EVA W. HILLYER, Decatur, Ga.
