THE EARLIEST LARGE TOMATO. 
W HEN we introduced the Pondcrosa, we 
hazarded the opinion that that famous 
variety was the forerunner of a new race 
of Tomatoes that would eventually displace the 
seedy, strongly acid sorts in general cultivation, 
and the advent of this splendid variety verifies 
Ibis prediction. The “Crimson Cushion” is 
more symmetrical in shape than the Ponderosa, 
and is much thicker through from stem to 
“blossom end”; in fact, so marked is this 
characteristic that it is frequently almost round. 
The color is brilliant scarlet crimson, untinged 
with purple, and ripens up almost completely to 
the stem. The “Crimson Cushion,” like the 
Pondcrosa, is almost seedless, requiring from 
10 to 12 bushels of ripe fruit to produce one 
These figures tell better than any description 
superb quality. It is enormously prolific and 
Limited space only allows us to print a few of hundreds of testimonials received about HENDERSON’S CRIMSON CUSHION TOMATO: 
I write to let you know how well pleased I am with “ Crimson Cushion ” Tomato. 
They are of good size, very smooth, and ripen up well at stem-end. Although not 
the earliest, they are among the best of 110 varieties. 
Again thanking you for your kindness in sending seed for trial, I remain, 
Chadds Ford, Delaware Co., Penna. THOS. H. BRINTON. 
I have been raising your Crimson Cushion Tomato this season, and think them 
by far the finest tomato for all purposes that I have ever grown. I weighed two 
last week that weighed 1 % lbs. each, and measured 17inches in circumference 
and 15 y 2 inches across bottom of bloom-end.

[-fENDERSON’S NEW LETTUCE, “ MIGNONETTE/’ 
“ Your Mignonette is, without exception, the finest Lettuce I 
have ever seen.” 
The cut 
A small, sturdy, russet-colored Lettuce, distinct and unique, and of great value. The entire plant measures only seven inches in 
diameter, and is more solid and compact than any existing variety. The outer leaves are few, and these cling so closely to the 
head that it is almost all head. The few outside leaves are as deeply crumpled as a Savoy 
■Cabbage and richly colored with russet rod and bronze-green of varying shades 
section shows the character of the solid heart, which is of a creamy yellow waved 
with pale greenish white. It is wonderfully hardy, resists drought and excessive 
moisture—a most valuable feature in our climate. It is fit for use five days 
after Boston Market, which, combined with its long-standing 
^ character, constitutes it an all-seasons variety in a superlative 
degree. (See cut.)

HENDERSON’S 
NEW LETTUCE, 
“ MIGNONETTE.” 
“ I find you have not in any way overrated the qualifications 
of Mignonette Lettuce ; it is in every respect what you claim for it. 
Although not large, it is about the finest Lettuce I ever saw—perfect 
in every respect.” 
“ The Mignonette Lettuce is the best Lettuce I have ever grown. 
/ sowed Boston Market and Mignonette together, and Boston 
Market went to seed in one week after making heads and 
Mignonette is in good condition three weeks after.” 
“ I am very much pleased with the Mignonette Lettuce. It 
is the best head Lettuce / ha\'e ever had , so solid, tender and 
of fine quality. You cannot say too much in its praise.”
