Hendersons "Crimson Cushion” Tomato 
THE CRIMSON-SCARLET BROTHER OF " PONDEROSA" 
ITS SUPERLATIVE MERITS: 
An almost seedless 
“ Beefsteak” Tomato 
The Earliest Large Tomato 
Of immense size and 
as smooth as an apple 
A continuous and late fruiter 
Ripens thoroughly all over, 
the stem-end coloring as well 
Prodigious bearer 
This crimson-scarlet brother of Ponderosa is the latest addi¬ 
tion to our new race of almost seedless tomatoes. The fruits, 
while not quite as large as those of Ponderosa, yet average 
big—big enough for anybody and for any purpose, measuring 
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 sym¬ 
metry 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 Henderson’s Crimson Cushion 
many friends. It is fairly early for so large a tomato, enor¬ 
mously prolific and bears continuously until killed by frost. (See 
cut on next page.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. oz., $2.00 34 lb. 
“ Crimson Cushion will yield a crop where all other tomatoes fail; for beauty, 
size and flavor they cannot be excelled." J. W. DALE, Du Boise, Pa. 
CUSTOMERS WRITE: 
“ We raised the Crimson Cushion 
last year. We and our friends pro¬ 
nounce it the most excellent tomato we 
ever ate. It has spoiled us for any 
other. ” 
Mrs. STEWART, Shreveport, La. 
“ Your Crimson Cushion surpasses 
any other tomato I ever grew, in beauty 
and flavor, while the size is perfectly 
enormous." 
M. M. WELCH, Clinton, Md. 
“ I would say that your Crimson 
Cushion tomatoes are the best 1 have 
ever grown — and I will always continue 
to grow them."

...Earliana Tomato... 
THE EARLIEST TOMATO OF ALL 
Earliana is without a doubt the earliest good tomato grown. 
It was raised and developed in a section of South Jersey, from 
which probably more early tomatoes are shipped than any other 
place in the United States. Earliana is not only extremely early 
but of particularly fine quality, which is very rare in an early 
tomato. The flesh is remarkably solid, and it has few seeds. It 
has the habit peculiar to many early sorts of setting the bulk of 
its fruits close to the center of the plant, so that they are 
exposed to the sun and thus ripen early. These qualities make 
it particularly useful for a first crop variety, and where more 
than one sort is grown, Earliana should head the list. The fruits 
which develop later are not equal in quality to those of the later 
and larger sorts. 
Price, 10c. pkt., 35c. oz., $1.10 lb., $3.50 lb. 
“ I am sending you' a photograph of a cluster of nine Earliana tomatoes I greiv 
in my garden, they attracted a good deal of attention. The nine—on one stem — 
weighed 4 lbs. and 5 ounces. It is a fine variety and gave us perfect satisfaction." 
EDW. C. BLAU NT, Waynesboro, Ga. 
Early Freedom T omato 
THE BEST EARLY TOMATO IN EXISTENCE 
Early Freedom is unqualifiedly superior to any other early 
tomato grown. Its value lies not only in the actual time of ripen¬ 
ing 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. 
It has a very tough skin and flesh is very firm, making it the 
best shipper and keeper of the early varieties. (See cut on next 
page.) Price, 10c. pkt., 40c. oz., $1.25 34 lb*> $4.00 lb. 
“ I want to thank you for the satisfaction that I have experienced in growing 
your superb Freedom Tomato. They are superior in every respect to any other 
kind that I have ever tried. We had ripe tomatoes from Freedom on June 15th, 
zveighing from 1\ pounds and over. The Freedom was ripe when those of other 
varieties were hardly in bloom. They are the finest tomatoes in this part of the 
country." Mrs. S. C. RHEBERG, Covington, Ga. 
Henderson s “TENDERLOIN” Tomato 
ITS CROWNING MERIT: 
Phenomenal solidity of flesh. Absolutely peerless for slicing. 
Henderson’s “Tenderloin” Tomato is a sturdy, 
healthy grower with distinctive bronzy-green 
foliage ; it ripens its first fruits immediately 
following those of the early sorts, and from 
that time until frost, it is practically ever-bear¬ 
ing, yielding enormous quantities of Tomatoes, 
no other variety approaching it in product¬ 
iveness. 
The fruit is borne in clusters of from four to 
six; the individual fruit, 4 to 5 inches diameter, 
runs remarkably uniform in size and shape, 
being almost round, solid, and weighs about 
one pound each, or heavier than any other 
Tomato grown of equal size; the surface is 
very smooth, and never cracks ; the color, a 
“ We cannot speak too highly of your 
Tenderloin Tomato. So meaty and 
such nice flavor." 
Mrs. CLARENCE O. GRAY, 
Little Compton, R. I. 
“ The Tenderloin Tomatoes did ex¬ 
ceedingly well. The fruit was of fine 
size, abundant, and the most solid of 
any tomato we have raised—I am well 
pleased with them." 
J. MELVILLE LAWRENCE, 
Wakefield, N. Y. 
“ The Tenderloin Tomatoes we raised 
from your seed last year were the largest 
and the finest quality I have ever seen. 
All zuho saw them were lavish in their 
praise." Mrs. VIVIAN WILSON, 
Manningham, Ala. 
rich glossy blood-crimson, also permeates the 
flesh to the very heart; it ripens thoroughly, 
coloring up 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, splendid 
quality, rich red color of the flesh, and appeti¬ 
zing appearance, it is absolutely peerless for 
slicing, while it is equally superior for baking, 
boiling and canning — the solidity of flesh and 
minimum of juice make thickening unneces¬ 
sary. (See cut on next page.) 
Price, 10c. pkt., 3 pkts. for 25c., 60c. oz.
