.- Henderson’s New Dwarf Early Pea= 
Melting Marrow 
Henderson's New Meaty Tomato, “TENDERLOIN/' 
(shown in color on the opposite page) 
This splendid new Pea — one of England’s best hybrids — was pur¬ 
chased, reselected, improved and acclimatized by us, enabling us this 
season to offer our customers an English Pea having the true, luscious 
flavor for which their wrinkled marrow peas are world-famous, and yet 
a Pea of this character that will thrive under the less congenial con¬ 
ditions of our hot American climate. 
Henderson’s “Melting Marrow” Pea is early, but not the earliest 
Pea grown; it follows immediately after the extra early sorts, thus filling 
in the gap between these and the midsummer varieties, though by 
successive sowings “Melting Marrow” Peas may be long enjoyed. 
The plants are of robust, half-dwarf habit, growing about 15 inches 
high, with sturdy branching stalks that are practically self-supporting, 
so that trellis or brush is not essential, though low brush or crossed sticks, 
if convenient, will not be misapplied. The massive pods are produced 
in prodigal abundance from ground to summit, and are packed with 
from six to eight immense wrinkled marrow Peas of a rich green color, 
which hue is maintained when cooked, thus appearing especially attractive 
when served, while the delicious melting quality and superb rich buttery 
flavor is unequalled by any Pea of American origin.

Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin” has 
superlative merit; it is a sturdy, healthy grower with distinc¬ 
tive 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-bearing, yielding enormous quan¬ 
tities of Tomatoes, no other variety approaching it in produc¬ 
tiveness and particularly so late in the season. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin” bears 
fruit in clusters of from four to six ; the individual fruit, 4 to 5 
inches in 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 rich 
glossy blood-crimson, also permeates the flesh to the very heart ; 
it ripens thoroughly, coloring up clear to the stem.. 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin ” possesses 
one crowning merit: the phenomenal solidity of the flesh; even 
the seeds — which are small and few — are embedded in flesh of 
meaty firmness, in marked contrast to the cavities of watery 
pulp so usual in most other varieties. 
Price, per pkt., 20c 
Henderson’s New Meaty Tomato “Tenderloin,” on ac¬ 
count 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 can not but 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.
