WINSALL WINS 

 EVERYWHERE 



The outstanding merits of Henderson's Winsall Tomato are its 

 remarkably vigorous and disease-resistant growth, its uniformly round 

 iorm, 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.

Henderson's 

 TOMATO 



sszCRYSTAL WHITE 



ASTARTLIN 

 Novelty 



Pure Alabaster White as Tempting and as Delicious as it is Beautiful 



With the development of this, the latest and most stirtling 

 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 

 i 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 

 Furthermore, it is possible with this variety, for people who 

 allergic to tomato poisoning, to enjoy Tomatoes to their he; 

 desire, without any ill effects. This is due to the fact tha 

 contains less acid than any other variety. 



Crystal White possesses eye appeal to a degree that will ins 

 its popularity wherever grown. When served sliced either al 

 or in combination with a red variety such as Richmeat, its ten : 

 ing appearance will instantly arouse fagged or jaded appeti s 

 The present vogue of white table arrangements finds a woi y 

 and valuable ally in this new fruit. A salad composed of fr< - 

 white slices of Crystal White with a background of other w 

 salads, will prove to be a masterpiece of culinary temptation.

From its first appearance it gripped and 

 the admiration- of all who grew it, and eac 

 curring season sees thousands more added t 

 number of its appreciative admirers who 

 sent us testimonials in such numbers that 

 printed them they would monopolize a qu 

 of the pages of the catalog. 



A serious defect in many Tomatoes is the 

 core-like character of the cell walls, whicl 

 quentlv remain green and hard long afte 

 other parts of the fruit are ripe. We have 

 ceeded so thoroughly in modifying, develc 

 and enlarging these cell walls in Hendei 

 Ponderosa that they have almost filled the 

 cavities, which in less carefully bred strains 

 tain only seed and watery pulp. 



The original, highly bred and selected tj 

 Ponderosa can only be secured direct from 

 we do not supply dealers.
