HENDERSON'S SUPERIOR SEEDS FOR MARKET GARDENERS. 



31 



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 temperature, and the tough skin makes it an ideal 

 shipper; the best of the " purple " varieties. Price, 25c. oz., 70c. \ lb., $2.25 lb. 



SPAKKS' EAKLIANA TOMATO. 



A wonderfully early and exceedingly prolific medium-sized, uniform, smooth and 

 attractively shaped, bright scarlet tomato, of great solidity and fine flavor. It is 

 one of the earliest tomatoes grown, having been evolved through keen competition 

 in a tomato-growing section in Southern New Jersey, where earliness and quality 

 secure profitable returns. The plant is of neat, moderate growth, but quite 

 hardy and well set with clusters of from 5 to 8 fruits, averaging 2\ inches through, 

 nearly all ripening up remarkably early and evenly; of great value to the market 

 gardener where early tomatoes are an object. (See cut.) Price, 30c. oz., 90c. 

 \ lb., $2.75 lb. 



CHALK'S EAKLY 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 ounces 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 fruits if picked as 

 soon as ripe do not rot or crack even in wet weather. The plants are vigorous, 

 healthy and so hardy they may be planted out earlier than most varieties. Valuable 

 for the private garden and especially so for market. 



Price, 30c. oz., 90c. \ lb., $2.75 lb. 



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 advantage 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 exposed 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. Price, 30c. oz., 

 $1.00 I lb., $3.00 lb. 



EARLY == 



FKEEDOM TOMATO. 



Not Only the Best Early Tomato, but a Prodigi- 

 ous and Continuous Bearer. 



Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any 

 other early tomato. Its value lies not only in the 

 actual time of ripening its first fruit, but that such 

 enormous quantities of fruit can be gathered 

 while all other so-called " Earlies " are ripening 

 only a few. The fruits are of good size, perfectly 

 round, and remarkably handsome, smooth and 

 brilliant scarlet. The flesh is remarkably solid, 

 having but few seeds. The flavor is perfect, ab- 

 solutely free from any acidity. The fruits are 

 borne in large clusters, in phenomenal abundance 

 and continuously, from the middle of July (in 

 this latitude) until killed by frost. We highly 

 recommend it, not only for its bountiful earliness, 

 but as a good, all-seasons variety. Fine fruits can 

 be picked from it in the fall, after the other va- 

 rieties have ceased bearing; in fact, this variety 

 even increases in size up to its last picking. 

 This last feature is a very valuable one to the 

 trucker. It also has a very tough skin and 

 flesh is very firm, making it the best shipper 

 and keeper of the early varieties. Price, 26c. oz., 

 75c. i lb., $2.50 lb.
