H e . n ?Sn\ PONDEROSA TOMATO. 
THE GRANDEST TOMATO ON EARTH. 
It has received more enthusiastic praise and has taken more 
first premiums than any other six vegetables combined. 
"We know there is no true Ponderosa seed 
but yours; tomatoes raised from others so-called 
do not begin to compare with yours." 
J. B. MEACHAM, Rockville, Ind. 
"Your Ponderosa Tomato is just all we could 
ask: large and meaty with jew seeds." 
A. J. MATTHEWS , New Florence, Pa. 
"We have grown Ponderosa for several years 
with amazing satisfaction. Our neighbors 
are astonished at their immense size, weight and 
flavor." II. N. K. GOFF, Washington, D. C. 
"The Ponderosa Tomato cannot be beaten 
for quality, quantity and size; it seems as if 
they grow better every year." 
Mrs. M. J. DEXTER, Mountain View, Cal. 
"Your Ponderosa is undoubtedly the finest 
Tomato ever raised; I had some weighing 2% 
and 3 pounds each." 
CHARLES B. PEARRE, Waco, Texas. 
"Ponderosa is the finest Tomato I ever raised; 
the flavor is delicious. I want nothing better." 
Mrs. L. M. GREELEY, Plymouth, N. II. 
"We had one plant of Poriderosa that bore 
SO tomatoes, most of them weighing 1$ to 21 
lbs. each. What do you think of thatt" 
It. REYNOLDS, Ionia, Mich. 
"Your Ponderosa Tomatoes were the wonder 
of my neighbors. It was not unusual for me to 
pick a dozen for a friend and have them weigh 
15 to IS pounds to the dozen." 
J. G. BRITTAIN, Hagerstown, Md. 
"Dear old Ponderosa! I have only room for 
one dozen plants, but they supply my table every 
day with delicious fruit; we think there is no 
tomato like Ponderosa." 
Mrs. J. B. THOMPSON, Waverly, N. Y. 
“/ never liked the taste of tomatoes until we 
raised Ponderosa, and now I never get tired of 
them.” Miss G. BATES, Minneapolis, Minn. 
QUALITY BEYOND PRAISE. SOLID AS BEEFSTEAK. SHAPE PERFECT. 
SIZE MASSIVE. EARLY AND LATE. LUXURIANT GROWER. 
PRODIGIOUSLY PROLIFIC. SUCCEEDS EVERYWHERE. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is in every way splendid. It excels in 
magnificent size, often attaining a circumference of 18 inches and weighing 2, 3 and 4 pounds 
each; perfect in form; free from wrinkles and fissures; as smooth as glass and as solid and 
meaty as beefsteak, free from watery cavities and almost seedless. It ripens thoroughly, 
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 crowning merits—toothsome and rich when sliced, 
savory and delicious when canned. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is a luxuriant, healthy grower, independent 
of droughts, free from blight, and a prodigious, early and continuous bearer. First ripe 
fruits are often picked in 10 weeks from seed sowing, while late fruits may be gathered 
until frost. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is now grown in every vState in the Union 
and every civilized country on the globe, and from everywhere it receives nothing but enthu¬ 
siastic praise. Eulogistic letters regarding it are received by us in annually-increasing 
thousands, and our sales of Ponderosa seed last season were double those of any previous 
year, thus convincingly proving that the marvelous success and popularity it has already 
achieved has not yet reached its zenith. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO is better and better every year. It is now 
so highly bred, so free from seeds, that we only get ten pounds of seed from an acre, where 
formerly we harvested twenty to thirty pounds, while ordinary tomatoes yield one.hundred 
pounds or more of seed per acre; this fact alone shows that Henderson’s Ponderosa is almost 
all solid meat, and as nearlv seedless as is possible to perpetuate it. 
HENDERSON’S PONDEROSA TOMATO SEED, purchased direct from us, insures 
the best grade, saved from selected fruits. It seeds too sparingly to be profitable for most 
sellers of seeds, so many inferior stocks of Tomato are being offered under the name of 
“ Ponderosa.”
