HENDERSON'S 



Ne>«r Meaty 

 Tomato, 



TENDERLOIN. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, has super- 

 lative qualities. It is of remarkabl}^ sturdy growth, and 

 has peculiar bronze-green fohage which makes it distinct from 

 any other sort. It is practically everbearing, ripening its first 

 fruits immediately after the early sorts, and continues through- 

 out the season to produce enormous quantities of its most attrac- 

 tive fruit. Even after most sorts have ceased to produce fruit, 

 Tenderloin will still have a good crop. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, bears its 

 fruit in clusters, sometimes 6 to a cluster. The individual 

 fruit is very iiniform in outline, quite round, but slightly flat- 

 tened at stem and blossom end. What it lacks in depth it 

 abundantly makes up in its phenomenal solidity, no other 

 tomato of its size approaching it in weight and density'. The 

 color, a rich glossy blood-crimson, permeates the flesh to the very 

 heart,' leaving no hard core inside the fruit. It never cracks, 

 and ripens over the entire surface without any unsightly green 

 patch around the stem. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, possesses 

 one crowning merit: the phenomenal solidity of the flesh; even 

 the seeds — which are surprisingly few — are embedded in flesh 

 of meaty firmness, in marked contrast to the cavities of watery 

 pulp so usual in most other varieties. 



Price, per pkt., 15c.; $1.25 oz. , $4.00 H lb 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, on account 

 of its " sohd-as-beef steak " character, combined with the 

 splendid quahty, gratifying flavor, granulated texture, rich 

 red color of the flesh, and its appetizing appearance, is abso- 

 lutely peerless for shcing, salads and table use generally, while 

 it is equally superior for baking, boiUng and domestic canning. 

 The solidity of flesh and minimum of juice makes thickening 

 unnecessary. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, as a market 



variety, we predict will become very popular; its general 

 merit and handsome appearance cannot fail to attract buyers, 

 and it is so sohd that it "holds up" well when shipped, even 

 though it does not have the thick, tough skin heretofore con- 

 sidered the most important requisite in a shipping tomato. 



Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, when 

 picked quite green will ripen up thoroughly. This will be of 

 advantage late in the season when frosts are expected, for ripe 

 and luscious Tenderloin Tomatoes maj' be enjoyed up to 

 Thanksgiving and even later. {See cut.) 



H 



CHALK'S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO 



One of the handsomest and best of the several recently 

 introduced early varieties. It is not the earliest but only 

 about a week later than Earliana. The fruit of Jewel, however, 

 averages much larger, often weighing from 12 to 16 ovmces each. 

 Very deep, uniform, smooth, solid, of fine quality, and brilliant 

 scarlet in color. It is a very heavy cropper, bearing throughout 

 the season. The plants are vigorous, healthy and so hardy they 

 may be planted out earlier than most varieties. Valuable for 

 the private garden and especiallj^ so for market. 



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



CRINE'S JUNE PINK. TOMATO 



An extra early coming in with Earliana from which it is a 

 selection, differing" chiefly in the outside color, which in Crine's 

 June Pink is of the bright purphsh-pink known as "Acme Color," 

 so much preferred in some sections to scarlet tomatoes. The 

 fruit of Crine's June Pink runs very uniform in shape and size, 

 about 3 inches in diameter and almost round and is borne in 

 clusters. The flesh is remarkably solid and contains but few 

 seeds. It is finely flavored and free from acidity. Although 

 an extra early the plants continue to grow and fruit fairly well 

 through the season. A splendid garden variety and valuable 

 for market. 



Price, 15c. pkt.; $1.25 oz.; $4.00 J lb.
