225,000 Sample Packets Distributed Among My Customers for Trial Witheut a Name in 1903. 
(Bright red.) Never before has any vegetable been tried so 
thoroughly in all sections of the country as Maule’s Magnifi- 
eent. In different soils and various ciimatie conditions it 
came out with flying colors. The name itself suggested by 
eleven customers, expresses in one word how realiy good it is, 
and it certainly well deserves the name Magnificent. In 
describing it I cannot do better than quote from a report sent 
me by Mr. A. F. Boyd, Limestone, Pa. Mr. Boyd writes as 
follows: ‘‘It is different from all other tomatoes in almost 
every particular. First—the plants root well from the very 
beginning of their growth. Second—As the result of this 
strong growth of root there is a large and vigorous growth of 
stock to support the weight of the fruit. Third—As a result 
of this strong and vigorous growth of stock the spreading 
branches produce a great abundance of fruit from each plant, 
giving larger crops than other tomatoes of equal acreage. 
Fourth—the fruit is large, solid and smooth, easily prepared 
for market on account of its perfection. Rub each tomato 
with a dry cloth, and your basket will challenge any gardener 
for size, smoothness, richness of color and general perfection. 
A good shipper, does not crack or rot; unsurpassed for canning. 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents; 
Fifth—The plant is hardy, can be set out early and not be 
injured by the cold if protected from frost. Sixth—The fruit 
| ripens early, and the later fruit on the vines is just as large 
and perfect as the early. After two heavy frosts (the vines 
lightly covered with straw) we are selling as fine tomatoes as 
I have ever seen, the people glad to get them at one dollar per 
bushel. If you want an abundant crop of solid, smooth, 
bright red, meaty tomatoes that will be large and good as 
long as vines can be protected from frosts, send for Maule’s 
Magnificent.’’ 
Thousands upon thousands of people seeing this tomato 
growing in the gardens of their neighbors were struck by its 
remarkable beauty, making the remark they must surely 
have some of this seed next year, so that Maule’s Magnificent 
has at once sprung into popular favor. 
Maule’s Magnificent will be particularly in demand this 
year on account of the failure of my crop of Enormous. While 
it does not grow as large as the Enormous, Magnificent really 
| produces double the quantity of tomatoes to the acre, so I can 
say to all my friends who are not able to plant Enormous, 
| they could not find a better substitute than Magnificent. 
quarter pound, $1.25; pound, $4.00. 


Frank Haak, Ottawa, Ill.—Sold $100 worth of vegetables raised from your seeds 
on one-half acre of ground. Your early sweet corn and Maule’s Earliest of All 
Tomatoes did exceptionally well. Sold $35 worth of tomatoes from about 50 vines. 
Had best vegetables for miles around here. 
Sherman J. Pool, Waverly, Iowa.—I am well satisfied with your seeds. Maule’s 
Earliest of All Tomato is the best we ever had; earlier than all others, color good, 
size large; beats any we ever had. 
E. T. McDonald. Tulia, Tex.—Your Tomato, Maule’s Earliest of All, was about | 
the only tomato that bore any fruit here last year, and I feel sure you will receive 
some good orders this winter. I sold over $20.00 worth from 4 rows 20 yards long. 
Mrs. R. Clark, Bridgeport. Wash.—Enclosed find my order for seeds. Three 
years ago [ lived at Tekoa, Wash., 2nd was told it was too cold there to raise toma- 
toes and melons. But I ordered some of your Earliest of All Tomato seed, 
Phinney’s Early Watermelon and Rocky Ford Muskmelon from you; also got my 
other vegetable seeds of you, and I wish you could h:ve seen my garden; it was 
simply perfect. I raised and ripened lovely melons and tomatoes, and all my 
other vegetables were fine, too. 
M. H. Myers, Villa Nova, Pa.—I have planted your seeds every year for more 
| than 30 years. and hope to be able, if I have my health, to plant them for 30 years 
| more. They have always given excellent satisfaction. 

W. R. Crump, Howell, Tenn.—I have induced Mr. A. P. Taylor to become one of 
| your customers. Heis a merchant, and a very fine gardener, and se!ls ——— seeds, 
and until this year used them exclusively. But I beat him so badly raising early 
tomatoes he was forced to acknowledge that Maule’s Earliest of All was way ahead 
of Earliest of All; so he and I sent together. I shall order Maule’s Farliest 
of All again this year, as well as the Maule’s Imperial; the latter is my favorite both 
in quality and continued bearing.
