Winsall 
Shown in Colors

It Wins Approval from 40,000 People—It Wins Prizes Wherever Shown—It Wins by its Qualities of 
Sweetness, Solidity and Seedlessness—It Wins because of its Wonderful Size and Gorgeous Color. 
When we described Henderson’s Winsall Tomato offered as No. 
“400’’ last year ‘‘as bigger and better than Ponderosa’’ we were aware 
that many of our friends might be somewhat incredulous; but we now 
know that they must be convinced of the truth of that statement, 
because of the thousands of letters of praise for Henderson’s Winsall 
received from them during and since the growing season of last year— 
a few of which we publish on this page. 
Some of the letters describe Henderson’s Winsall so well as almost 
to render further description by us superfluous. We will however add to 
the encomiums of our friends a few words telling of it according to our 
own experience in our soil and climate. 
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, Henderson’s Winsall 
is undoubtedly the most meaty tomato ever produced; the entire fruit 
being edible, tender, and delicious, and remarkable for an almost entire 
absence of seeds. This latter characteristic is so pronounced eae many 
of our friends proposed to call it ‘‘“Giant Seedless.’ 
As for smoothness and formation Henderson’s Winsall is a great 
improvement upon Ponderosa, and as time goes on we propose to still 
further improve it by careful supervision. 
One of the most striking characteristics of Henderson’s Winsall 
Tomato however is its wonderful vines, stalks and leaves, which are 
all of a very much darker green than the vines of any other tomato, 
and excel all others in vigor and freedom from plant diseases. 
We append the report of one of our customers because he describes 
it even better than we ourselves can do. 
“Reporting on your Tomato ‘‘400,”’ 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 itself.’’ 
“Tt 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.’’ 
“Thanking you for the pleasure and satisfaction the trial has afforded 
” 
me.
