When 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 sym¬ 
metrical in shape than the Ponderosa, and is much thicker through 
from stem to “ blossom end ” ; in fact, so marked is this character¬ 
istic that it is frequently almost round. The color is brilliant 
scarlet crimson, untinged with purple, and ripens up almost com¬ 
pletely to the stem. The “ Crimson Cushion, ” like the Ponderosa, 
is almost seedless, requiring from 10 to 12 bushels of ripe fruit to 
produce one pound of seed, whereas a pound of seed is realized 
from 3 bushels of ordinary Tomatoes. These figures tell better 
than any description the “seedless” character of this grand 
variety. The flesh is Arm and “meaty,” and of superb quality. It 
is enormously prolific and early for so large a Tomato. (See cut.)

44 1 write to Jet you know how well pleased I am with 4 Crimson Cushion' 
Tomato. They are of Rood size, very smooth and ripen up well at stein-end. 
Although not the earliest, they are among the best of 110 varieties." 
Til OS. 11. BRINTON, Chadds Ford, Delaware Co., Penna. 
“7 have been raising your 4 Crimson Cushion ’ Tomato this season, and think 
them by far the finest tomato for all purposes that 1 have ever grown. 1 weighed 
two last week that weighed VA lbs. each, and measured 17Vu inches in circumference 
andSYn inches across bottom of bloom-end."—JOHN L. BOARDMAN, Macon,(la. 
“ 7 picked my last 4 Crimson Cushion ’ Tomato from the vines on October 8th; 
it measured 1C inches in circumference and of the firmest flesh I ever saw. 1 con¬ 
sider it the finest Tomato that can be grown in this climate; it is perfection. 
There are no seeds grown like 4 Henderson's,’ and if a little higher in price still they 
are the cheapest, as quality and growth are certain." 
R. 11. HOAG, Jr., Norcross, Minn. 
44 The 4 Crimson Cushion’ is so far ahead of any other varieties that I think 
they are not worth our notice. 1 have nice large solid Tomatoes when my 
neighbors have none. I never plant seeds of my own raising but always order 
from you." — Mrs. A. II. LOOS, H\ Lafayette, O. 
44 1 had one plant of your 4 Crimson Cushion ’ Tomato last summer planted by 
a post ten feet high ; it grew three feet above the post and was full of fruit from 
bottom to top. I counted them ns they ripened until I counted fifty, but many 
more ripened after I ceased to count them. After the fi-ost cnnu\ I gathered 
enough green ones to make three gallons of pickle. This seems incredible, but it 
is nevertheless true.” — Mrs. J. H\ McGOIlEE, Clarksville, Term. 
44 Although last season was very unfavorable, especially the latter part, yet I 
had some very fine 4 Crimson Cushion ’ Tomatoes. I counted on one stalk some 
forty toma toes, all perfect and some very large." 
IRWIN WALTIIOUR, Greensburg, Pa. 
44 1 planted the 4 Crimson Cushion' Tomato last year, and though I have tried 
many others, 1 have never seen any that equals the * Crimson Cushion.' " 
B. H. CRAIG, Selma, Ala. 
44 Last season your 4 Crimson Cushion’ Tomato beat anything in this vicinity 
for eurlincss, size, form and quality." 
W. R. MORRISON, 8152 Easton Ave., St. Louis, Mo. 
44 The 4 Crimson Cushion ’ Tomatoes are good enough for me. In fact, I never 
saw their equal. I shall plant only these this year. 1 sing their praises whenever 
opportunity offers."—GEORGE L. TA YLOR, Hamlet, 111. 
44 1 think the 4 Crimson Cushion ’ Tomato seeds you sell are the best Tomato 
seeds I have ever planted.” — Mrs. F. G. SPANN, Moss Point, Miss.
