HENDERSON'S GENUINE 



PONDEROSA TOMATO. 



NOT A SHIPPING TOMATO, BUT FOR SELECT HOME 

 TRADE IT OFTEN BRINGS 5c. A FRUIT. 



This grand variety, though not recommended as Early nor a 

 shipping tomato yet is very salable in home markets, often bring- 

 ing 5c. a fruit. 



It is not only the largest fruited Tomato grown, frequently 

 weighing 2 to 3 pounds each, but the handsomest and finest in 

 quality; almost as solid as beefsteak, nearly seedless, with firm 

 meaty, rich red flesh; unequalled and delicious either cooked or 

 canned; while for slicing it is the finest tomato grown; a healthy, 

 luxuriant grower, prodigious and continuous yielder from early 

 in the season until frost. A favorite from Maine to California. 

 {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.40 \ lb., $5.00 lb. 



" / used the Ponderosa Tomato last season and found it to excel anything in the 

 market. Ponderosa Tomato sells first in market. B. J. SMITH. Atlanta, Ga. 



" I enclose a photo of my Ponderosa tomatoes from your seed growing on my truck 

 farm. This crop is acknowledged by all who have seen them to be the finest ever pro- 

 duced in this section and they are commanding much better prices than any other tomatoes 

 being sold on this market." J. B. LATH. AM, Washington, N. C. 



Last year I raised Ponderosa Tomatoes that weighed 2\ lbs each, and sold them all 

 when no one else could market their tomatoes." 



W. 0. CHRISTIE. Dyersburg, Tenn.

Livingston's Globe Tomato. 



A very popular variety with some market gardeners, 

 especially in the South. The short-jointed vines are 

 vigorous and very productive. The tomatoes mature a 

 little earlier than most main crop varieties. The fruits, 

 borne in clusters, average large, though a little uneven in 

 size and are nearly round or globe-shaped. Some a little 

 elongated. They are smooth — ripen up thoroughly when 

 they are of a glossy purplish rose color; flesh firm, has few 

 seeds, and is of mild fine flavor. A good keeper and shipper. 

 (See cut.) Price, 35c. oz., $1.20 \ lb., $4.00 lb. 



STONE TOMATO. 



LARGE, REGULARLY SHAPED FRUIT, FLESH FIRM. 

 SKIN SCARLET AND GOOD SHIPPER. 



This is one of the best and most popular main crop 



varieties for market gardeners. The plant is a strong 



grower, is very prolific, and possesses every requisite 



for a salable tomato; the fruits are large, smooth, almost 



round, being very deep, slightly flattened at base and top; the color is an attractive, 



vivid scarlet. The skin is tough and the flesh unusually solid and firm making it 



one of the best shippers. The quality is unsurpassed for either cooking, canning or 



slicing, being meaty and firm. {See cut on opposite page.) Price, 20c. oz., 60c. \ lb., 



$2.00 lb. 



" Your Tomato {Stone), is all you claim for it and more. It is large, very prolific and has all the good 

 qualities of a first class Tomato. It ripens evenly from lop to stem."
