The Dwarf Ponderosa Tomato 
SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE 
T HIS grand new Tomato is our true and typified “Ponderosa Selection” from # Burpee’s “Dwarf Giant.” It 
is the resultant cross between “Dwarf Champion” and our original “Ponderosa.” 
This new variety has inherited the merits of both parents, viz: the compact, stocky dwarf-branching habit of 
plant — growing about 2 feet high — the thick short-jointed stems and distinctive dark-green Savoy-like foliage 
of “Dwarf Champion,” while the fruit is that of our old favorite “Ponderosa”—mostly oblong in shape—a trifle 
smaller — blit big enough for anybody and for any purpose, averaging in size 4 inches and over in diameter and 
weighing about one pound each. 
The coloring is a gloss)’, purplish-red. The Tomatoes are borne in clusters and in bountiful succession from 
July until frost, holding up in size to the end. They are slightly oblong in shape, are very deep through with solid, 
meaty, bright-red flesh, no core, scarcely any watery pulp and having but few seeds. 
The flavor, mildly rich, is free from acidity and for slicing, eating raw, cooking or canning, its deliciousness is only 
rivalled by that of Henderson’s original “Ponderosa.” The latter we expect will continue to be grown by its old time 
friends, although it is a “vine” or tall growing Tomato — producing its fruits in succession from the base of the plant 
to the tip. Therefore, where low branching Tomato plants are desired —as in small gardens — we can recommend 
the “Dwarf” Ponderosa. 
It is very important to bear in mind that the “Dwarf Ponderosa” is quite distinct from the “Original Pond¬ 
erosa”; the habit of the plant and the color of the foliage is altogether different from the parent. So that in 
ordering this new variety be sure to ask for the

New Early Market Cabbage 
:: 
SHOWN IN COLORS ON THE OPPOSITE PAGE 
T HIS Danish production represents the highest achievement in Cabbage breeding, and is the best early round- 
headed Cabbage we have ever grown or seen. 
In uniformity to type and evenness in early maturing it is a marvel. Every row and every head in a row look 
as nearly alike as if all had been turned out of a mold. Its evenness in maturing will in itself prove a recommen¬ 
dation to our customers as they will easily see the great importance of being able to clear oh the ground at one cut¬ 
ting, especially where room is required for a second crop. 
The plants are of compact stocky growth, short-stemmed with small in-folding outer leaves enclosing large solid 
ball-shaped heads which average about ten pounds in weight, and are of the very finest quality, smooth with fine 
;veins and small core. 
New Early Market Cabbage is but three or four days later than our Early Wakefield. Can be planted as close 
las Early Spring (21 inches apart) and will yield a greater crop per acre than any other early Cabbage of which we 
know. 
For both private gardens and marketing we predict this Cabbage has a great future. Its remarkably fine quality 
nd tenderness whether cooked or sliced for slaw or salad will win friends wherever tried, while for marketing its 
handsome saleable appearance and uniformity in maturing the crop will cause it to be in great demand.
