“ Your Ponderosa Tomato Seeds are the ! 
best ever. I raised one Tomato weighing 
S lbs., 4 os. RALPH de CASTRO, 
60 Dunken Street, Attleboro, Mass. 
" 'Tis a pity that all mankind have not 
tasted the most delicious and grandest of all 
tomatoes—your Ponderosa. ” 
“Forty-eight plants of your Ponderosa 
Tomato occupying a space only 10x20 feet j 
produced between 12 and 15 bushels of enor¬ 
mous Tomatoes. 1 grew them on stakes, 
and they attracted a great deal of attention from 
passers-byJ. L. HAZARD, 
71 Norton Street, Patchoguc, L. N. Y. 
“ We know there is no true Ponderosa seed 
but yours; tomatoes raised from others so-called 
do not begin to compare with yours.” 
J. B. MEACHAM. Rockville, lnd. 
“I have been disappointed in the Ponderosa 
Tomato for the last two years. I got the seed \ 
from other parties, and they are not like the ones j 
/ got from you. Please send me your true seed.” i 
ROBERT HARM, Denton, Texas. 
“/ have grown your Ponderosa Tomato for 
10 years and could not be induced to grow any- > 
thing else in the Tomato line. They are simply I 
marvelous in quality, size and productiveness.” 
CHAS. A. LADD, Muskegon, Mich. 
“/ never tasted such tomatoes as your Pott- j 
derosas. we had some that weighed 2^2 lbs.” 
MRS. S. ROBERTS, Paulsboro. N. J. 
Quality beyond Praise Solid as Beefsteak Shape Perfect Size Massive 
Early and Late Luxuriant Grower Prodigiously Prolific Succeeds Everywhere 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is in every way splendid. It excels in magnif¬ 
icent size, often attaining a circumference of 18 inches and weighing 2, 3 and 4 pounds each; 
perfect in form; free from wrinkles and fissures; as smooth as glass and as solid and meaty as 
beefsteak, free from watery cavities and almost seedless. It ripens thoroughly, its glowing crim¬ 
son color permeating the flesh to the heart; it is free from rot, but, above all, the delicious quality 
and flavor are its crowning merits—toothsome and rich when sliced, savory and delicious when 
cooked, while for canning it is the Tomato par-excellence. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is a luxuriant, health) 7- grower, independent 
of droughts, free from blight, and a prodigious, early and continuous bearer. First ripe fruits 
are often picked in 10 weeks from seed sowing, while late fruits may be gathered until frost. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is now grown in every State in the Union 
and every civilized country on the globe, and from everywhere it receives nothing but enthusiastic 
praise. Eulogistic letters regarding it are received by us in annually-increasing thousands. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is better and better every year. It is now so 
highly bred, so free from seeds, that we only get ten pounds of seed from an acre, where formerly 
we harvested twenty to thirty pounds, while ordinary Tomatoes yield one hundred pounds or 
more seed per acre; this fact alone shows that Henderson’s Ponderosa is almost all solid meat. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO SEED, purchased direct from us, insures the 
best grade, saved from selected fruits. It seeds too sparingly to be profitable for most sellers 
of seeds, so many inferior stocks of Tomato are being offered under the name of “Ponderosa.”
