Stone. This is one of the best and most popular main crop varieties for market 

 gardeners. The plant is a strong grower, is very prolific, and possesses every 

 requisite for a salable tomato; the fruits are large, smooth, almost round, 

 being very deep, slightly flattened at base and top; the color is an attractive 

 vivid scarlet. The skin is tough and the flesh unusually solid, making it one 

 of the best shippers. The quality is unsurpassed for either cooking, canning 

 or slicing, being meaty and firm 



Tenderloin, Henderson's. Of remarkably sturdy growth, is practically ever 

 bearing, ripening its first fruits immediately after the early sorts, and con- 

 tinues throughout the season to produce enormous quantities of its most 

 attractive fruit. The fruit is very uniform, round, slightly flattened at 

 stem and blossom end, and of phenomenal solidity; even the seeds — which 

 are surprisingly few — are embedded in flesh of meaty firmness. The color, 

 a rich glossy blood-crimson, permeates the flesh to the very heart. It never 

 cracks, and ripens over the entire surface without any green around the stem .

 this old favorite is free from the corrugations of the old strains
