Henderson's Tenderloin Tomato 



This variety is greatly esteemed by our customers on account 

 of its remarkable solidity of flesh, its delicious flavor, and phe- 

 nomenal cropping ability. 



The vine is very robust, and of strong branching character, 

 enabling it to produce and sustain a prodigious quantity of fruit 

 which is borne in clusters all over the vine. The individual 

 fruits are quite large, almost round, very smooth and even in 

 shape, and without any depression at the stem end, a common 

 fault with many large-fniited sorts. The outer color is brilliant 

 purplish-red, which extends clear to the stem. It is more solid, 

 and heavier than any sort of equal size. No variety excels it in 

 color of flesh, its rich blood-criinson permeates the heart of 

 every fruit. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.75 H lb. 



"/ was very much pleased with the Tenderloin Tomato on account 

 of the extra good quality of the fruit. "Mrs. BARBARA SONAFRANK, 

 March 4, 1914. Brislow, Iowa. 



"In the writer's experience of ten years which covers every Tomato 

 listed by every seedsman of any prominence^ I find that Henderson's 

 Tenderloin Tomato is for slicing and home use the best of all. There 

 is nothing that compares with it in my opinion. If I had to choose 

 but one Tomato to plant it would be the Tenderloin."

Henderson's Crimson Cushion Tomato 



Crimson Cushion is a scarlet "sport" from Ponderosa, and 

 resembles the original stock in nearly all respects, but the color 

 is brilliant crimson-scarlet. It bears a prodigious crop of per- 

 fectly shaped fruits of enormous size that ripen clear to the 

 stem, while its rich color is sustained throughout the entire fruit. 



It ripens a few fruits immediately after the very early sorts, 

 and from then right up to frost it yields a constant supply of 

 massive, luscious fruits. These are always extremely solid, and 

 remain so after cooking. Served in slices its solid, tempting appearance 

 compels instant admiration, and in the final and decisive test of flavor 

 it is appetizing and delicious. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. 

 oz., $1.75 M lb- 



"I am pleased to report that I am greatly pleased with Henderson's Crimson 

 Cushion Tomatoes. They are very smooth, large and ripen early. I pulled a 

 bunch of seven in a cluster on one stem, many of them being 13 inches in circum- 

 ference." W. N. SHIVE, 

 July 26, 1915. Union City, Tenn. 



"I have been buying Henderson's Crimson Cushion Tomato from you for ten 

 years and without question it is the finest in the world." G. W. PHILLIPS, 

 Feb. 22, 1915. West Monroe, La. 



" Would say that we have raised your Crimson Cushion Tomato this summer 

 and think they surpass all others. They are the finest we ever saw and grew in 

 bunches of a dozen. Large Tomatoes weighing I'/i lbs. each were on every stem, 

 I canned 5 peach baskets full from 

 18 plants, and there are still 

 more left on the vines."

Earliana Tomato 



THE EARLIEST 



TOMATO OF ALL 



This is still the best 

 extra early Tomato for 

 the family garden, as it 

 bears a very heavy crop 

 quite early in the season. 

 It has excellent flavor 

 and is remarkably solid 

 for an early sort. The 

 very early sorts are not, 

 as a rule, continuous 

 bearing, so that a later 

 variety should also be 

 planted to ensure a sea- 

 son's supply. Price, lOc. 

 pkt., 35c. oz., $1.10 }4

Early 

 Freedom Tomato 



THE BEST SECOND 



EARLY TOMATO 



IN EXISTENCE 



Freedom is an excel- 

 lent variety for the f9,m- 

 ily garden. It is not the 

 earliest Tomato grown, 

 although its first fruits 

 ripen a few days after 

 the very early and small- 

 er fruited sorts, and 

 from that time it bears 

 continuously until frost. 

 The fruits are of med- 

 ium size, and are borne 

 in ample clusters quite 

 freely over the vine. They are brilliant scarlet in 

 color, perfectly smooth and though the skin is extremely 

 thin, they never crack, while the flavor is all that can be 

 desired. (See engraving.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., 

 $1.25 K lb., $4.00 lb. 



"We are very much in love with Early Freedom Tomatoes. They 

 are so meaty, like the larger varieties, and then the yield is 

 wonderful." W. J. CHAPMAN, 



Feb. 23, 1915. Battle Creek, Mich. 



Stone Tomato 



Stone Tomato is one of the very best large fruited 

 sorts gi-own for main crop. The fruits are round, remark- 

 ably solid, bright scarlet in color and of excellent flavor. 

 Price, 5c. pkt., 30c. oz., 90c. ^i lb., $2.75 lb.
