WHAT PATRONS SAY 



OF THE 



X onderosa Xomato 



yQoniiniied.) 



Ripe fruit Aug. 27th, 1891 Just 100 days 

 from the time the seed of the Ponderosa To- 

 mato was S01V71 — the most rapid growth I 

 have ever known for a tomato, and I have 

 been in the business for 50 years. 



JOHN HODGKIN, 

 Sept. 4, '91. Falls Church, Va. 



As a fruit on the tea-table they are exqui- 

 site; they have no fibre, no coarseness, no 

 rankness ; the small seeds are so embedded 

 in the delicate meat as to be called almost 

 seedless . 2IA R Y F. KELL O G G, 



Sept. 8, '91. Gorham, Maiiie. 



Everything wanted in a tomato is found in 

 Tomato Ponderosa. LULA FOWLER, 

 Sept. 2, '91. Eureka, Kan. 



We have given your Ponderosa Tomato a 

 trial in our grounds, and find it a grand ac- 

 quisition. It is a vigorous grower and an 

 immense bearer of very large, fine tomatoes. 



A. D. ALDERMAN, 

 Sept. 8, '91. Ottawa, Kansas. 



The Tomatoes raised from the seed of Pon- 

 derosa took the 1st prize at the Loudoun Co. 

 Fair, Va., and were pronounced the most 

 beautiful ever seen. 



Miss LAURA BOWIE, 

 Oct. 1, '91. Reading, Pa. 



Isaic in our Provincial E.vhibition a plate 

 of Henderson's Ponderosa not to be com- 

 pared to my second size Tomato from Pon- 

 derosa seed. JANE MAJOR, 

 Sept. 29, "91. Montreal, Canada. 



Ihave cultivated tomatoes for 35 years, and 

 have never seen the Ponderosa Tomato 

 equaled. 



H. K. ARNOLD.

Every u-ord that you said about the Tomato 

 in your advertisement has j)roved to be true. 



Rev. I K. RADER. 

 Aug. 31, '91. Akron, Ohio. 



Ihave given all your new tomatoes a good 

 trial for the last seven years and found them 

 as represented, but the one this year beats 

 them all. WALTER HOY. Gardener, 

 Aug. 31, '91. Burlington, Vermont. 



Those Po7iderosa Tomato seeds you sent 

 me last spring I planted, and the result is 

 they are the finest in this section. I set out 

 about forty plants and they all came out good. 



HENRY W. OTTO. 

 Aug. 30, '91. Meriden, Conn. 



Your Ponderosa Tomato is more a very 

 choice fruit than a vegetable, perfectly firm 

 and solid, of a deep red color and a most 

 delicious flavor. R. W. SLADE, 



July 16, '91. Columbus, Ga. 



This 7iovel Tomato, Pondei-osa. is a nexp 

 variety, large, smooth, of a dark, rirhcrimson 

 color, hardy groivth. prolific and well adapted 

 to this climate. 



•' TH.S NOXABEE DEMOCRAT.' 

 July 18. '91. Macon. Miss. 



The sieed of the neir Tomato, Ponderosa, 

 which I purchased from ifou la.'^t .spring, has 

 far exceeded my most .'^anguine e.rpectations. 

 It is certainly the finest Tomato I hare ei^er 

 seen. A. C. ERASER, 



Aug. 7, '91. Gait, Ontario. 



Whatever name may be selected for it. it 

 has come to stay, like many other new vege- 

 tables von have introduced.
