HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS.

CRINE'S JUNE PINK TOMATO.^ 



This variety has rapidly come into favor for early shipping. It 

 is a selection from Spark's Earliana, but it has a distinct advan- 

 tage in color, being of the bright purplish pink known as the 

 " Acme Color." This insures its more ready sale on some markets 

 where this color of tomato is popular. It produces a good crop 

 of marketable sized fruits as early in the season as the earliest 

 varieties. Its shipping qualities are admirable. 



The vine is of a spreading habit, which leaves the center of the 

 plant exposed, so that the very earliest fruits are thoroughly ex- 

 posed to the sun, which facilitates the early ripening. 



The fruits are generally smooth. The flesh is remarkably solid, 

 and of a most agreeable flavor, so whether used for shipping or 

 for local markets, it will certainly meet with favor. (See cut.) 

 Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 \ lb., $4.00 lb. 



BEAUTY TOMATO- 



Early, prolific, medium sized, smooth and solid; fruits until late 

 in the season. We wish to call special attention to our stock of 

 this tomato. It has been bred to such perfection that it is the 

 best all-round variety for the market gardener. The plant is 

 robust, and yields enormous crops of perfectly shaped fruits during 

 the entire season. It is almost round, solid and meaty, the color 

 is deep purplish-red and is not affected by extremes in tempera- 

 ture, and the tough skin makes it an ideal shipper; the best of 

 the " purple " varieties. (See cut.) Price, 25c. oz., 70c. \ lb., $2.25 lb. 



: STONE TOMATO. = 



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. Price, 25c. oz., 70c. \ lb., $2.25 lb.

 Farms." EDWIN H. DODGE, Salem, Mass. 



HENDEKSON'S 

 TENDERLOIN TOMATO. 



Henderson's Tomato, Tenderloin, has super- 

 lative qualities. It is of remarkably sturdy 

 growth, is practically everbearing, ripening 

 its first fruits immediately after the early 

 sorts, and continues throughout the season to- 

 produce enormous quantities of its most at- 

 tractive 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 em- 

 bedded 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. 



Henderson's Tomato, Tenderloin, on account 

 of its " solid-as-beef steak " character, com- 

 bined with the splendid quality, gratifying 

 flavor, granulated texture, rich red color of the 

 flesh, and its appetizing appearance, is abso- 

 lutely peerless for slicing, salads and table use 

 generally, while it is equally superior for bak- 

 ing, boiling and domestic canning. The solid- 

 ity of flesh and minimum of juice makes 

 thickening unnecessary. 



Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.50 \ lb., $5.00 lb. 



" / must mention the grand results obtained from your 

 Tenderloin Tomatoes. They produced an enormous crop 

 of the finest of all tomatoes. All agree with me that it is 

 the finest tomato grown." 



E. H. LOCKWOOD, Edgewood, R. I.
