Henderson's 



Crimson Cushion 



881. Crimson Cushion is a scarlet "sport" from 

 Ponderosa, and resembles the original stock in 

 nearly all respects, but the color is brilliant crim- 

 son-scarlet. It bears a prodigious crop of 

 perfectly 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 ex- 

 tremely solid, and remain so after cooking. 

 Served in slices its solid, tempting appear- 

 ance compels instant admiration, and in 

 the final and decisive test of flavor it is 

 appetizing and delicious. (See engraving.) 

 Price, 15c. pkt., $1.00 oz., $3.50 *4 lb.

Stone 



Large, Regularly Shaped Fruit. Flesh 

 Firm. Skin Scarlet. A Good Shipper. 



906. This is one of the best and most 

 popular main crop varieties. The plant is 

 a strong grower, is very prolific and pro- 

 duces a crop of large, smooth fruits almost 

 round in shape, very deep and slightly flattened 

 at base and top. The quality is unsurpassed for 

 either cooking, canning or slicing, being meaty, 

 firm and of excellent flavor. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.00 "4 lb., $3.00 lb. 



Earli 



lana 



The Earliest 

 Tomato of All 



885. 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 insure a season's supply. (See engrav- 

 ing.) Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 % lb., $5.00 lb.
