The Greatest of all Eariy Tomatoes 
Today, 23 years after its introduction to the American public, it 
is still the leading extra early tomato, and all iis name implies: 
Four Days to a Week Earlier Than Earliana or any 
Other Extra Early Tomato 
Since 1892 our friends have 
made tens of thousands of dol- 
lars by planting Maule’s Earliest 
of All, and if you have not given 
this wonderful variety a trial 
you will neglect your own inter- 
ests if you do not include it in 
your order for 1915. Maule’s 
Earliest of All is the best tomato 
in America for truckers, market gardeners and money makers. 
Nor is its extreme earliness its only virtue, for it is of large 
size, good color and delicious flavor. 
Color is a bright red, and though a little irregu- 
no hard core. 
It does not crack and has 
lar in shape, the fruit is not rough. 
Pages of this Seed Book could be filled with statements and comments about the money 
value of this fine, early tomato; but the best testimonial that we can present in regard to its worth 
is the fact that our customers, especially our market gardener friends, have again and again ex- 
hausted our supply of seed, even when we had imagined it to be sufficient for all demands. 
Maule’s Earliest of All is all its name implies, namely: the earliest tomato in existence, not- 
withstanding the claims made for June Pink, Earliana, Early Jewel, Early Richmond, etc., ete. 
Packet, 15 cents; half ounce, 25 cents; ounce, 45 cents; quarter pound, $1.25; pound, $4.50, postpaid. 
« Greater Baltimore 
(Brilliant red.) This grand second early variety produces large 
bright red tomatoes in clusters at every second joint; the joints are 
short and sturdy. The vines are vigorous, compact and healthy 
growers; a heavy cropper of large, smooth, well formed tomatoes; deep 
from stem to blossom end. Very firm and meaty. It ripens evenly to 
the stem and is free from ridges, cracks and blight. Recommended by 
growers in Florida and Texas and for canning or the home garden the 
results have been far beyond expectations. An excellent shipper. Our 
seed was grown from the originator’s stock. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 30 cts.; 4 pound, 85 cts.; pound, $3.00. 
« Dwarf Stone 
(Bright Red.) This excellent strain of the Stone Tomato is more pro- 
ductive, earlier and larger fruited than the old Stone. In fact, it is 
about the largest of all the dwarf or bush varieties. Also called Tree 
Tomato, on account of its upright growth and its ability to stand alone 
without trellising. Pkt., 10c.; 0z., 30c.; 14 Ib., 85c.; lb., $3.00. 
. June Pink . 
(Bright pink.) This extra early variety originated in New 
Jersey and was first offered in 1906; it has become popular 
with many gardeners who wish a desirable pink skin tomato. 
The originator claims June Pink ripens as early as Earliana. 
Foliage and shape of tomato closely resemble Earliana, and 
many, not observing the fruit, would natuarally think it was 
that variety. In markets where pink varieties are preferred 
it will bring 25 per cent. more in price than similar red varie- 
ties. The vine is compact and branches freely; with hand- 
some, good size, deep pink fruit hanging in clusters. A popu- 
lar market and shipping variety and has other good qualities, 
making it especially desirable for home use, as it continues to 
bear and ripen its attractive fruit up until frost. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; } pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50, postpaid.
