The outstanding characteristics of Henderson's Winsall To- 



mato are its remarkably vigorous and disease resistant 

 growth, its uniformly round form, its large size, and the delicious 

 flavor of its firm flesh. 



Henderson's Winsall is about five days later than Ponderosa in 

 maturing its first fruits, but its second fruits seem to ripen more 

 rapidly than do the fruits of Ponderosa. The coloring is indeed 

 perfection; the bright red extending close up to the stem end. Hen- 

 derson's Winsall is undoubtedly the most meaty tomato ever pro- 

 duced; the entire fruit being edible, tender and delicious, and re- 

 markable for an almost entire absence of seeds. This latter charac- 

 teristic is so pronounced that many of our friends proposed to call 

 it "Giant Seedless." 



As for smoothness and formation, Henderson's Winsall is a great 

 improvement upon Ponderosa. 



We append the report of one of. our customers, Mr. D. P. McCrack- 

 en. editor of Floral Lore, Paxton, 111., because he describes it even 

 better than we ourselves can do. 



"Reporting on your Tomato Winsall, I have to say that, if I were 

 naming it now, after trial, I should call it 'BEST TO DATE,' not 

 limiting it to Peter Henderson's efforts — simply exalting it to a class 

 by itsell. 



"It is the best of the fleshy class, and the fleshy sorts are best by 

 long odds; it is as meaty as the 'Beefsteak,' yet devoid the tough, 

 leathery walls of that famous variety; it is far more uniform in both 

 size and conformation than the popular Ponderosa, and eclipses in 

 productivity as well as bearing period, any tomato I have been able 

 to secure in my fifty continuous years of growing. 



"Picked just before the stem-end is entirely red, and spread on a 

 low table, stem-end down, in a cool basement, it ripens in a day or 

 two to as near perfection as could possibly be." 



D. P. McCRACKEN. Paxton, 111. Editor of Floral Lore. 



Price — Pkt. 25c, 3 pkts. for 60c. l /z oz. $2.00. 1 oz. $3.50, transportation paid. 



PLEASE NOTE — Winsall Tomato is very vigorous in growth and produces superabundant foliage. It is therefore often 

 necessary to prune away some of it, in order to admit light and air to the flowers and assist pollen ization. A dense mass of leaves 

 and vines overshadowing the blossoms will sometimes cause them to fall, and a consequent failure to produce fruit. 



We Stand Corrected 



" / was pleased to see the picture of the ' Winsall' I 

 sent in your 1927 catalog, but uiish you had put in the full 

 weight as shown in the picture— i. e. 3 lbs. 6 oz. The 

 Tomato on the scale as pictured was exhibited here and in 

 Akron as long as it could be kept. The plant had no spe- 

 cial care, in fact, did not notice it until time to pick, just 

 too late to gel in the County Fair. This year I hope to 

 develop some more as large if not larger." 



MR. CHARLES S. CHAMBERLAIN, 



Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. 



Winsall Wins Everywhere 



"Your 'WinsaW Tomato is a winner. I raised some 

 that weighed nearly 3 lbs., and made a meal for 6 grown 

 people, and quality I never saw or tasted any finer Tomato." 

 MR. P. ROGERS, 



Charlotte, Mich. 

 " Took first prize with ' WinsaW Tomatoes last year at 

 the County Fair. Had some weighing more than 3 lbs. and 

 perfectly smooth." MR. G. W. McHENRY, 



Athens, Ohio. 

 "Everybody praised them to the highest. They took prizes at 

 our County Fair also. I cannot praise them enough." 

 MRS. ENGLE HARMON, 



Covington, Ky. 



Henderson's Winsall Tomato is of inestimable food value. Its vitamin content is greater than that of any other vegetable; in fact. 



it is on a par with the orange.
