HENDEKSON'S 



''Crimson Cushion 



TOMATO 



THE CRIMSON^SCARLET 



BROTHER OF "PONDEROSA" 



The fruits of Crimson Cushion, while not quite as 

 large as those of Ponderosa, yet average big, measur- 

 ing 4 to 5 inches in diameter and 3 to 4 inches in 

 depth; in fact the fruits are so thick that they 

 appear almost round. This symmetry of form, 

 added to the other merits — brilliant crimson-scarlet 

 color, untinged by purple, its solidity, meatiness 

 and high quality of flesh, freedom from acidity and 

 watery pulp, scarcity of seeds — has won for Hen- 

 derson's Crimson Cushion many friends. It is 

 fairly early for so large a Tomato, enormously 

 prolific and bears continuouslv until killed by frost. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., S1.75 I4 lb. 



"/ have gro'un a great many kijids of Tomatoes, but never 

 had such fine ones as last summer from your Crimson Cushion 

 Seed. Thev beat any ever gro-ivn around here. Many people 

 caUed to see the beauties." B. McEXTEE, .Angelica. N. Y. 



H enderson's "Tenderloin" Tomato 



Henderson's "Tenderloin" Tomato is a sturdy, healthy grower ; it ripens its 

 first fruits immediately following those of the early sorts, and from that time 

 until frost, it is practically ever-bearing, yielding enormous quantities of 

 Tomatoes. 



The fruit is borne in clusters of from four to six; the individual fruit, 4 to 5 

 inches in diameter, runs remarkably uniform in size and shape, being almost 

 round, solid, and weighs about one pound each; the surface is very smooth, 

 and never cracks ; the color, a rich glossy crimson, also permeates the flesh 

 to the heart ; it ripens thoroughly clear to the stein. 



It possesses one crowning merit: phenomenal solidity of flesh; even the 

 seeds — -which are small and few — are embedded in flesh of meaty firmness. 



On account of this solid character and splendid quality, it is peerless for slicing, 

 baking, boiling and canning. (See citt.) Price, 10c. pkt., 45c. oz., $1.50 J4 lb. 



" The vegetables raised from your seeds were all we could wish for. especially the Tenderloin Tomato, 

 You cannot speak too highly of it — 50 meatv and of such fine Havor. " 



Mrs. CLARENCE O. GR.\Y . Little Compton, R. I. 



Early Freedom Tomato 



THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE 



Early Freedom is a very superior earlv Tomato. Its value lies not onlv in 



4 the actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that such enormous quantities 



^ of fruit can be gathered while all other so-called "Earlies" are ripening only 



a few. The fruits are of good size, brilliant scarlet in color, perfectly round, 



, smooth and remarkably handsome. The flesh is solid, of perfect flavor and 



y absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits are borne in large clusters, in 



phenomenal abundance and continuouslv, from the middle of July until killed 



by frost. {See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 H lb., $4.00 lb. 



" Your Freedom Tomato is the best I have ever seen. The vines bore fruit freely all summer; and 

 the frost caught them with bushels of tomatoes on the vines." 



Mrs. CH.AS. B. STEDMAN, Greensboro. W. C. 

 " I had some of your Freedom Tomatoes last year, and the fruits were surelv a wonder to my neigh- 

 bors." a. F. HARRISOW Gallatin. Mo. 



THE EARLIEST 



TOMATO OF ALL 



Earliana is without a doubt the earliest good Tomato grown. It is not only 

 extremely early but of particularly fine quality. The flesh is solid, and it 

 has few seeds. It has the habit of setting the bulk of its fruits close to the 

 centre of the plant, so that they are exposed to the sun and thus ripen early. 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.10 U lb., $3.50 lb. 



"We found your Earliana Tomatoes exceptionally well suited to this altitude, where it is regarded as 

 quite a triumph to ripen even a few on the vines. Our 40 plants ripened several bushels and the quality 

 seemed to be quite equal to that of later -.iirielies." Mrs. HARRIET /,. KVTCHIN . Missoula. Mont.
