TT is now so highly bred, so free from seeds, that we only get ten pounds 
1 of seed from an acre, where formerly we harvested twenty to thirty 
pounds, while ordinary tomatoes yield one hundred pounds or rhorc of seed 
per acre ; this fact alone shows that Henderson’s Ponderosa is almost all solid meat, 
and as nearly seedless as is possible to perpetuate it. Our strain of seed for 1908 has 
attained the zenith of perfection. 
HEHBERSON S POJ^DEROS^ TOMJITO 
TS m every way splendid. It excels in magnificent size, often attaining a circum- 
X feience of eighteen inches, frerjucntly weighing two, three and four j^ounds each 
perfect in form, free from wrinkles and fissures, perfectly smooth and as solid 
and meaty as beefsteak, free from watery cavities and almost seedless; it ripens 
thoroughly from center to skin, its glowing crimson color permeating the flesh to the 
heart, it is free from rot; but_above all, the delicious quality and flavor are its crown- 
ing merits toothsome and rich when sliced, savory and delicious when canned very 
little boiling being required for it to thicken. ' 
The plants of Henderson’s Ponderosa Tomato are of luxuriant, healthy growth 
independent of droughts, free from blight, and are prodigious, early and continuous 
beaiers. rirst ripe fruits arc often picked in ten weeks from seed sowing, while late 
fruits may be gathered until frost. Some of our customers store the unripened late 
fruits, which ripen and are served at Thanksgiving dinner.
