HENDERSON’S 
Crimson Cushion 
TOMATO 
THE CRiMSON'SCARLET 
BROTHER OF "PONDEROSA” 
The fruits of Crimson Cushion, while not quite as 
large as those of Ponderosa, yet average big, measur¬ 
ing* 4 to 5 inches in diameter and 3 to 4 inches in 
depth; in fact the fruits are so thick that they 
appear almost round. This symmetry of form, 
added to the other merits—brilliant crimson-scarlet 
color, untinged by purple, its solidity, meatiness 
and high quality of flesh, freedom from acidity and 
watery pulp, scarcity of seeds—has won for Hen¬ 
derson’s Crimson Cushion many friends. It is 
fairly early for so large a Tomato, enormously 
prolific and bears continuously until killed by frost. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 50c. oz., $1.75 lb. 
“/ have grown a great many kinds of Tomatoes, but never 
had such fine ones as last summer from your Crimson Cushion 
Seed. They beat any ever grown around here. Many people 
called to see the beauties." B. McENTEE, Angelica, N. Y. 
H endersoris “T enderloin” T omato 
Henderson’s “Tenderloin” Tomato is a sturdy, healthy grower; it ripens its 
first fruits immediately following those of the early sorts, and from that time 
until frost, it is practically ever-bearing, yielding enormous quantities of 
Tomatoes. 
The fruit is borne in clusters of from four to six; the individual fruit, 4 to 5 
inches in diameter, runs remarkably uniform in size and shape, being almost 
round, solid, and weighs about one pound each; the surface is very smooth, 
and never cracks ; the color, a rich glossy crimson, also permeates the flesh 
to the heart; it ripens thoroughly clear to the stem. 
It possesses one crowning merit: phenomenal solidity of flesh; even the 
seeds—which are small and few—are embedded in flesh of meaty firmness. 
On account of this solid character and splendid quality, it is peerless for slicing, 
baking, boiling and canning. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 45c. oz., $1.50 l /i lb. 
“ The vegetables raised from your seeds were all we could wish for, especially the Tenderloin Tomato. 
You cannot speak loo highly of it —so mealy and of such fine flavor. ” 
Mrs. CLARENCE O. CRAY , Little Compton, R. 7. 
Early Freedom Tomato 
THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE 
Early Freedom is a very superior 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, brilliant scarlet in color, perfectly round, 
smooth and remarkably handsome. The flesh is solid, of perfect flavor and 
absolutely free from any acidity. The fruits are borne in large clusters, in 
phenomenal abundance and continuously, from the middle of July until killed 
by frost. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 lb., $4.00 lb. 
“ Your Freedom Tomato is the best I have ever seen. The vines bore fruit freely all summer; and 
the frost caught them with bushels of tomatoes on the vines." 
Mrs. CUAS. B. STEDMAN, Greensboro. N. C. 
11 1 had some of your Freedom Tomatoes last year, and the fruits were surely a wonder to my neigh¬ 
bors .” G. F. HARRISON, Gallatin, Mo. 
THE EARLIEST 
TOMATO OF ALL 
Earliana is without a doubt the earliest good Tomato grown. It is not only 
extremely early but of particularly fine quality. The flesh is solid, and it 
has few seeds. It has the habit of setting the bulk of its fruits close to the 
centre of the plant, so that they are exposed to the sun and thus ripen early. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.10 H lb., $3.50 lb. 
"We found your Earliana Tomatoes exceptionally well suited to this altitude, where it is regarded as 
quite a triumph to ripen even a few on the vines. Our J t 0 plants ripened several bushels and the quality 
seemed to be quite equal to that of later varieties." Mrs. HARRIET L. KUTCHIN .Missoula, Mont.
