It 



THIS grand new Tomato is our true and typified "Ponderosa Selection" from Burpee's "Dwarf Giant." 

 is the resultant cross between "Dwarf Champion" and our original "Ponderosa." 

 This new variety has inherited the merits of both parents, xaz: the compact, stocky dwarf -branching habit of 

 plant — growing about 2 feet high — the thick short -jointed stems and distinctive dark-green Savoy-like foliage 

 of "Dwarf Champion," while the fruit is that of our old favorite "Ponderosa" — mostly oblong in shape — a trifle 

 smaller — ^but big enough for anybody and for any purpose, averaging in size 4 inches and over in diameter and 

 weighing about one pound each. 



The coloring is a glossy, purplish-red. The Tomatoes are borne in clusters and in bountiful succession from 

 July until frost, holding up in size to the end. They are slightly oblong in shape, are ver>' deep through with solid, 

 meaty, bright-red flesh, no core, scarcely any watery pulp and having but few seeds. 



The flavor, mildly rich, is free from acidity and for slicing, eating raw, cooking or canning, its deliciousness is only 

 rivalled by that of Henderson's original "Ponderosa." The latter we expect will continue to be grown by its old time 

 friends, although it is a "vine" or tall growing Tomato — producing its fruits in succession from the base of the plant 

 to the tip. Therefore, where low branching Tomato plants are desired — as in small gardens — we can recommend 

 the "Dwarf" Ponderosa. 



It is ver\' important to bear in mind that the "Dwarf Ponderosa" is quite distinct from the "Original Pond- 

 erosa" ; the habit of the plant and the color of the foliage is altogether different from the parent. So that in 

 ordering this new variety be sure to ask for the

:: New Early Market Cabbage :: 



SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE 



THIS Danish production represents the highest achievement in Cabbage breeding, and is the best early round- 

 headed Cabbage we have ever grown or seen. 

 In uniformity to type and evenness in early maturing it is a marvel. Every row and every head in a row look 

 as nearly alike as if all had been turned out of a mold. Its evenness in m.aturing will in itself prove a recommen- 

 dation to our customers as they will easily see the great importance of being able to clear off the ground at one cut- 

 ting, especially where room is required for a second crop. 



The plants are of compact stocky growth, short-stemmed with small in-folding outer leaves enclosing large soHd 

 ball-shaped heads which average about ten pounds in weight, and are of the very finest quality, smooth with fine 

 veins and small core. 



New Early Market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our Early Wakefield. Can be planted as close 

 as Early Spring (21 inches apart) and will yield a greater crop per acre than any other early Cabbage of which we 

 know. 



For both private gardens and marketing we predict this Cabbage has a great future. Its remarkably fine quality 

 and tenderness whether cooked or sliced for slaw or salad will win friends wherever tried, while for marketing its 

 handsome saleable appearance and unifonnity in maturing the crop will cause it to be in great demand.
