Tenderloin, Henderson's. Of remarkably sturdy growth, is practically ever-

 tinues throughout the season to produce enormous quantities of its most 

 attractive fruit. The fruit is very uniform, round, slightly flattened at 

 stem and blossom end, and of phenomenal solidity; even the seeds — which 

 are surprisingly few — are embedded in flesh of meaty firmness. The color, 

 a rich glossy blood-crimson, permeates the flesh to the very heart. It never 

 cracks, and ripens over the entire surface without any green around the stem.
