HENDERSON’S 
Tomato, TENDERLOIN. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, has super¬ 
lative qualities. It is of remarkably sturdy growth, and 
has peculiar bronze-green foliage which makes it distinct from 
any other sort. It is practically everbearing, ripening its first 
fruits immediately after the early sorts, and continues through¬ 
out the season to produce enormous quantities of its most attrac¬ 
tive fruit. Even after most sorts have ceased to produce fruit, 
Tenderloin will still have a good crop. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, bears its 
fruit in clusters, sometimes 6 to a cluster. The individual 
fruit is very uniform in outline, quite round, but slightly flat¬ 
tened at stem and blossom end. What it lacks in depth it 
abundantly makes up in its phenomenal solidity, no other 
tomato of its size approaching it in weight and density. The 
color, a rich glossy blood-crimson, permeates the flesh to the very 
heart, leaving no hard core inside the fruit. It never cracks, 
and ripens over the entire surface without any unsightly green 
patch around the stem. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, possesses 
one crowning merit: the phenomenal solidity of the flesh; even 
the seeds—which are surprisingly few — are embedded in flesh 
of meaty firmness, in marked contrast to the cavities of watery 
pulp so usual in most other varieties. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, on account 
of its “ solid-as-beefsteak ” character, combined with the 
splendid quality, gratifying flavor, granulated texture, rich 
red color of the flesh, and its appetizing appearance, is abso¬ 
lutely peerless for slicing, salads and table use generally, while 
it is equally superior for baking, boiling and domestic canning. 
The solidity of flesh and minimum of juice makes thickening 
unnecessary. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, as a market 
variety, we predict will become very popular; its general 
merit and handsome appearance cannot fail to attract buyers, 
and it is so solid that it “holds up” well when shipped, even 
though it does not have the thick, tough skin heretofore con¬ 
sidered the most important requisite in a shipping tomato. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato, Tenderloin, when 
picked quite green will ripen up thoroughly. This will be of 
advantage late in the season when frosts are expected, for ripe 
and luscious Tenderloin Tomatoes may be enjoyed up to 
Thanksgiving and even later. (See cut.)

CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL TOMATO 
One of the handsomest and best of the several recently 
introduced early varieties. It is not the earliest but only 
about a week later than Earliana. The fruit of Jewel, however, 
averages much larger, often weighing from 12 to 16 ounces each. 
Very deep, uniform, smooth, solid, of fine quality, and brilliant 
scarlet in color. It is a very heavy cropper, bearing throughout 
the season. The plants are vigorous, healthy and so hardy they 
may be planted out earlier than most varieties. Valuable for 
the private garden and especially so for market. 
Price, 10c. pkt.; 40c. oz.; $1.25 J lb.; $4.00 lb. 
CRINE’S JUNE PINK TOMATO 
An extra early coming in with Earliana from which it is a 
selection, differing chiefly in the outside color, which in Crine’s 
June Pink is of the bright purplish-pink known as “Acme Color,” 
so much preferred in some sections to scarlet tomatoes. The 
fruit of Crine’s June Pink runs very uniform in shape, and size, 
about 3 inches in diameter and almost round and is borne in 
clusters. The flesh is remarkably solid and contains but few 
seeds. It is finely flavored and free from acidity. Although 
an extra early the plants continue to grow and fruit fairly we*l 
through the season. A splendid garden variety and valuable 
for market.
