Ponderosa Tomato 



It Has Received More Enthusiastic Praise and Has Taken More First Premiums than any Other Six Vegetables Combined 



" Your Ponderosa Tomato Seeds are the 

 best ever. I raised one Tomato weighing 

 S lbs., 4 oz." RALPH de CASTRO, 



50 Dunken Street, Attleboro, Mass. 



" 'Tis a pity that all mankind have not 

 tasted the most delicious and grandest of all 

 tomatoes — your Ponderosa. '* 



"Forty-eight plants of your Ponderosa 

 Tomato occupying a space only 10x20 feet 

 produced between 12 and 15 bushels of enor- 

 mous Tomatoes. I grew them on stakes, 

 and they attracted a great deal of attention from 

 passers-bv." J. L. HAZARD, 



71 Norton Street. Patchogue, L. I., N. Y. 



" We know there is no true Ponderosa seed 

 but yours: tomatoes raised from others so-called 

 do not begin to compare with yours." 



J. B. MEACHAM.'Rockville. Jnd. 



"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 21-2 lbs." 

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



Quality beyond Praise Solid as Beefsteak Shape Perfect Size Massive 

 Early and Late Luxuriant Grovv'er Prodigiously Prolific Succeeds Everywhere 



HENDERSON'S PONDEROSA TOMATO is in everj' way splendid. It excels in magnif- 

 icent 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 waterj' cavities and almost seedless. It ripens thoroughl}', 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, savorj' and delicious when 

 cooked, while for canning it is the Tomato par-excellence. 



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

 of droughts, free from blight, and a prodigious, earl^^ 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 every State in the Union 

 and every civilized countn,- on the globe, and from everywhere it receives nothing but enthusiastic 

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



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. 



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."
