PONDEROSA Tomato 



IT HAS RECEIVED MORE ENTHUSIASTIC PRAISE AND HAS TAKEN MORE FIRST PREMIUMS 



THAN ANY OTHER SIX VEGETABLES COMBINED 



"I have raised Ponderosas from your seed 

 for the last IS years. No other tomato at all 

 compares with it. " 



J. L. CRAWLEY. Anniston, Ala. 



"I order from you because I want some more 

 'real Ponderosas.' Father once raised one 

 weighing 3 pounds from your seed. 1 often 

 get fooled when I buy the seed elsewhere, they 

 claim it to be your Ponderosa. but it is not." 

 M. E. SPARKS. Louisville. Ky. 



" We know there is no true Ponderosa seed 

 but yours; totnatoes raised from others so-called 

 do not begin to compare with vours." 



J. B. M EACH AM, Rockville, Ind. 



" Your Ponderosa Tomato is simply grand. 

 Enough can not be said of it." 



George gelly. Nokomis, ill. 



"I have been disappointed in the Ponderosa 

 Tomato for the last two years. I got the seed 

 from other parties, and they are not like the ones 

 I got from you. Please send me your true seed." 

 ROBERT HARM, Denton, Texas. 

 "I have grown your Ponderosa Tomato for 

 10 years and could not be induced to grow any- 

 thing else in the Tomato line. They are simply 

 marvelous in Quality, size and productiveness." 

 CHAS. A. LADD, Muskegon, Mich. 

 "I never tasted such tomatoes as your Pon- 

 derosas — we had some that weighed 2 l A lbs." 

 MRS. S. ROBERTS. Paulsboro, N. J. 

 " 'Tis a pity that all mankind have not 

 tasted the most delicious and grandest of all 

 tomatoes — your Ponderosa. I have grown it 

 ever since you introduced it." 



J. L. HAZARD, 

 124 Chestnut St., Brooklyn, N. Y. 



Quality beyond Praise Solid as Beefsteak Shape Perfect Size Massive 

 Early and Late Luxuriant Grower Prodigiously Prolific Succeeds Everywhere 



HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is in even' way splendid. It excels in magni- 

 ficent size, often attaining a circumference of 18 inches and weighing 2, 3 and 4 pounds each; 

 perfect in form; free from wrinkles and fissures; as smooth as glass and as solid and meaty as 

 beefsteak, free from watery cavities and almost seedless. It ripens thoroughly, its glowing crim- 

 son color permeating the flesh to the heart; it is free from rot, but, above all, the delicious quality 

 and flavor are its crowning merits — toothsome and rich when sliced, savory and delicious when 

 cooked. 



HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is a luxuriant, healthy grower, independent 

 of droughts, free from blight, and a prodigious, early and continuous bearer. First ripe fruits 

 are often picked in 10 weeks from seed sowing, while late fruits may be gathered until frost. 



HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is now grown in even- State in the Union 

 and even civilized country on the globe, and from everywhere it receives nothing but enthusiastic 

 praise. Eulogistic letters regarding it are received by us in nnnually-increasing thousands, 

 and our sales of Ponderosa seed increase even year, thus convincingly proving that the marvelous 

 success and pnpularilv it lias alrear.lv achieved has not vet reached its zenith. 



HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is better and better every year. It is now so 

 highly bred, so free from seeds, that we only get ten pounds of seed from an acre, where formerly 

 we harvested twenty to thirty pounds, while ordinary tomatoes yield one hundred pounds or 

 more seed per acre; this fact alone shows that Henderson's Ponderosa is almost all solid meat, 

 and as nearly seedless as is possible to perpetuate it. 



HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO SEED, purchased direct from us, insures the 

 best grade, saved from selected fruits. It seeds too sparingly to be profitable for most sellers 

 of seeds, so many inferior stocks of Tomato are being offered under the name of "Ponderosa."
