F or 35 Vears the Best and Most Popular in the American Garden—Produces Fruits Magnificent

9006. From its first appearance it gripped and held the ad- 
miration of all who grew it and each recurring season sees 
thousands more added to the number of its appreciative ad- 
mirers, who have sent us testimonials in such numbers that 
if we printed them they would monopolize a quarter of the 
- pages in the catalogue. Fortunately it is so constituted that it 
is susceptible of continuous improvement, and this has made it 
possible for us not only to maintain the high standard of 
- quality which it has always occupied, but, by careful develop- 
ES ment, to raise it to a higher standard of perfection than ever. 
There are two kinds of solid Tomatoes. One derives its 
solidity from a thick-fleshed outer wall and a tough skin, and 
this is eagerly sought by the cuoeer The solidity of Pon-

os Favor by Leaps and Bounds—It is Grown from the Atlantic to the Pacific 
derosa is fundamentally different. A serious defect in many~ 
sorts is the hard, core-like character of the cell walls, which 
frequently remain green and hard long after the other parts 
of the fruit are ripe, and this very defect has been utilized 
in the breeding of Ponderosa. We have succeeded so 
thoroughly in modifying, developing, and enlarging these cell 
walls in Henderson’s Ponderosa that they have almost filled 
the seed cavities, which in less carefully bred strains contain 
only seed and watery pulp. The original highly bred and 
selected type of Red and Golden Ponderosa can only be 
secured direct from us, as we do not supply dealers. Spurious 
and unecared-fer stocks will be disappointing. (See engraving.)

‘It Equals Red Ponderosa in Size but Bears Rich Golden-Yellow Fruits in Abundance 
~ 889. A yellow Tomato that has color alone to distinguish it is 
~ not entirely novel. Many such varieties have been introduced, 
put, having failed to gain popularity owing either to lack of 
flavor or some other essential, have disappered from cultiva- 
tion. Henderson’s GOLDEN PONDEROSA is equal in every 
respect to its parent the red Ponderosa, possessing all the 
- qualities that have made our Ponderosa 
a household word throughout the land, 
and, in addition, has the striking’ color 
which compels instant attention. It orig- 
inated as a “Sport” from the Red Pond- 
erosa_ and comes remarkbly true; but 
some parti-colored fruits may bey ex- 
pected. These but add interest to” it. 
But that which differentiates it from all other sorts is its 
conspicuous and striking appearance when served sliced with 
the red Ponderosa. This combination produces an effect ap- 
pealing to the appetite, and supplies a decorative table effect 
both novel and attractive. (See engraving.) Price, 20e. pkt.,
