Ripe fruUAug. 27th, 1891, just 100 days 

 from the time the seed of the Ponderosa To- 

 mato was sown — the most rapid growth I 

 have ever known for a tomato, and I have 

 been in the business for 50 years. 



JOHN HODGKIN, 

 Sept. 4, '91. Falls Church, Va: 



As a fruit on the tea-table they are exqui- 

 site; they have no fibre, no coarseness, no 

 rankness ; the small seeds are SO embedded 

 in the delicate meat as to be called almost 

 seedless. MARY F. KELLOGG. 



Sept. 8, *91. Gorham, Maine. 



Everything wanted in a tomato is found in 

 Tomato Ponderosa. LULA FOWLER A 

 Sept. 2, "91. 



We have given your Ponderosa Tomato a 

 trial in. our grounds, and find il a grand ac- 

 quisition. It is a vigorous grower and an 

 immense bearer of very large, fine tomatoes. 



A. D. ALDERMAS, 

 Sept. 8, '91. Ottawa, Kansas. 



The Tomatoes raised from the seed of Pon- 

 derosa look the 1st prize at the Loudoun Co. 

 Fair, Va., and were pronounced the most 

 beautiful ever seen. 



Miss LAURA BOWIE, 

 Oct. 1, '91. Reading, Pa. 



J saw in our Provincial Exhibition a plate 

 of Henderson's Ponderosa not to be com- 

 pared to my second size Tomato from Pon- 

 derosa seed. JANE MAJOR, 

 Sept. 29, '91. Montreal, Canada. 



Ihave cultivated tomatoes for 35 years, and 

 have never seen the Ponderosa Tomato 

 equaled. 



H. K. ARNOLD, 

 Aug. 31, '91. FairchUd, Wis. 



Every word that you said about the Tomato 

 in your advertisement has proved to be true. 



Rev. I. K. RADER, 

 Aug. 31, "91. Akron, Ohio. 



I have given all your new tomatoes a good 

 trial for the last seven years and found them 

 as represented, but the one this year beats 

 them all. WALTER HOY, Gardener, 

 Aug. 31, *91. Burlington, Vermont 



Those Ponderosa Tomato seeds you sent 

 me last spring I planted, and the result is 

 they are the finest in this section. J set out 

 about forty plants and they all came out good. 



HENRY W. OTTO. 

 Aug. 30, "91. Meriden, Conn. 



Your Ponderosa Tomato is more a very 

 choice fruit than a vegetable, perfectly firm 

 and solid, of a deep red color and a most 

 delicious flavor. R. W. SLADE, 



July 16, '91. Columbus, Ga 



This novel Tomato, Ponderosa. is a new 

 variety, large, smooth, of a dark, rich crimson 

 color, hardy growth, prolific and well adapted 

 to this climate. 



• THE NOXABEE DEMOCRAT." 

 July 18, '91 Macon, Miss. 



The seed oj the new Tomato, Ponderosa, 

 which I purchased from you last spring, has 

 far exceeded my most sanguine expectations. 

 It is certainly the finest Tomato I have ever 

 seen. A. C. FRASER, 



Aug. 7, '91. Gait, Ontario 



Whatever name may be selected for it, it 

 has come to stay, like many other new vege- 

 tables you have introduced:
