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.

CRYSTAL WHITE A sr 1 J£2f G

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.

900 PONDEROSA Henderson's 
For Years the Best and Most Popular in the American Gar- 
den — Produces Fruits Magnificent in Size — Delicious in 
Flavor — 
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. 
Price, pkt., 15c; 2 pkts., 25c; oz., $1.25; M lb., $3.75. 
Henderson's Famous Ponderosa is one of the most popu- 
lar juice tomatoes grown. Be sure to can a generous supply 
for use this winter. Include a quantity of juice made from 
Golden Ponderosa and The Orange for variety.

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 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.

888 THE FRUIT TOMATO 
Shown in Colors on Opposite Page 
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.
