Crimson Cushion 
=TOMATO= 
The Crimson-Scarlet Brother of Ponderosa. 
SOME SUPERLATIVE MERITS OF 
CRIMSON CUSHION: 
The Earliest Large Tomato—A continuous and 
late fruiter — Of immense size and as smooth 
as an apple—Ripens thoroughly all over, the 
stem-end coloring as well Almost seedless 
and as solid as beefsteak—Prodigious bearer. 
YV7HEN we introduced the Ponderosa, 
** 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 this prediction. 
The Crimson Cushion is more symmet¬ 
rical in shape than the Ponderosa and is 
much thicker through from stem to blos¬ 
som-end; in fact, so marked is this 
characteristic that it is frequently almost 
round. The color is brilliant scarlet-crim¬ 
son, untinged with purple, and ripens up 
almost completely to the stem. The 
Crimson Cushion, like the Ponderosa, 
is almost seedless. The flesh is firm and 
meaty and of superb quality. It is 
enormously prolific and early for so large a 
tomato. (See cut.) Price, 10c. pkt., 60c. 
oz., $2.00 \ lb. 
“ We and our friends pronounce your Crimson 
Cushion the most excellent tomato we ever ate; it has 
spoiled us for any other.”

“Your Crimson Cushion surpasses any other 
tomato / ever grew in beauty, flavor and size; they are 
perfectly enormous. I am advertising them among my 
friends by seruling one to each of them for a meal.” 
Mrs. KATIE R. WHITE, Lake Providence, La. 
“ Crimson Cushion is my favorite tomato. It 
is magnificent, simply perfect ! It is impossible to 
exaggerate its merits. I had dozens of them that 
measured 1 £ feet in circumference and as good as 
they are larae.
