The Greatest of all Early Tomatoes. 



Today, 1^ years after its first introduction to 

 the American public, it is still the leading extra 

 early tomato, and all its name implies : 



Four Days to a Week Earlier Than Earliana 

 or Any Other Extra Early Tomato. 



Since 1892 my friends have made tens of 

 thousands of dollars by planting Maule's Earli- 

 est of All, and if you have not given this won- 

 derful variety a trial you will neglect your own 

 interests if you do not include it in your order 

 for 1907. Maule's Earliest is the best tomato 

 in America today 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. It does not crack and has no hard core. 

 Color is a bright red, and though a little irregular in shape, the fruit is not rough. 



Pages of this catalogue could be filled with statements and comments about the money value 

 of this fine, early tomato ; but the best testimonial that I can present in regard to its worth is the 

 fact that my customers, especially the New Jersey truckers, have again and again exhausted my 

 entire stock of seed, even when I had imagined my supply to be quite sufficient for all demands. 



Earliest of All is all its name implies, namely : Ihe earliest tomato in existence, notwithstanding 

 the claims made for June Pink, Earliana, Early Jewel, Early Richmond, etc., etc. 



Packet, 15 cents; half ounce, 30 cents; ounce, 50 cents; quarter pound, $1.50; pound, $5.00. 



Byron L. Finley, Riverflale. Md.— All the seeds I got of you did well, and your 

 Maule's Earliest of All Tomato is a dandy. I set out my first plants early, and lost 

 all by frost May llth; set out as;aiu May l.">th; picked first fruit June 28th. and 

 October 1st am still piclcing from the Maule's Earliest set May isth. While I set 

 out only about lOii plants for my own use. I sold ¥.5.5,00 worth of plants from the 2 

 ounces of seed, and Had that my early plants almost entirely withstood the blight, 

 while nearly all the other plants died. How is that for an amateur'? 



Rob't. Belton, Mt. Airy, N. C— I planted your Earliest of All Tomatoes this 

 season, and have the finest tomatoes I ever saw. I have been getting tomates for 

 about 15 days; am gettimj; about .5 bushels per day of tomatoes that weigh from % 

 to 1 '4 pounds. I am the only one here that planted Maule's Seeds, and am the 

 only one here that is getting tomatoes. I ara getting 1.5 cents per dozen as fast as 

 they get ripe. They are 10 to 15 days earlier than anything I have ever planted. 



Mrs. ,Teff. Haynes. Eldon, Mo.— Maule's Peeds cannot be praised too highly. 

 Last year I sold fl'.M worth of your Earliest of All Tomatoes at lu cents per dozen 

 wholesale, from si.t; ro\vs 50 feet long, marketed before anyone else had ripe 

 tomatoes. 



J. A. Horton, Las Cruces, New Mexico.— I bought 1 ounce of your Maule's Ear- 

 liest of All Tomato seed; planted same April 20th and July 26th began selling ripe 

 tomatoes. Up to date I have sold tomatoes to the amount of .$41 .07, have given 

 about ^5.00 worth away to neighbors, and the vines are still full of fruit. 



O. H. Nickle. Conneaut Lake, Pa.— I have planted your seeds for al:out 20 years, 

 and they have given perfect satisfaction. I have tested most of the new vege- 

 tables you have introduced, tomatoes being my hobb.v. Your Earliest of All is one 

 of the best tomatOi'S I know of. in earliness. size of fruit and productiveness. I 

 grew it beside the Earliana. and it was its superior in every way. 



W. W. Evans. Walton. Kv.— Last year I cultivated your Earliest of All Tomato 

 by the side of Spark's Earliana, and'yours matured 7 days earlier, were larger, did 

 not rot, and were fairlv smooth until the end of the season. Earliest of All is not 

 only the earliest, but the best of early tomatoes. 



Mrs. Chas. Drake. Trov. Montana.— I have been using your seeds for several 

 years, and find them perfectlv reliable and fully satisfactory in every respect. We 

 live in a mountainous countrv. in the extreme nortliwestern part, where people 



always said it was impossible to raise tomatoes to ripen. This year we had nearly 

 a ton of ripe tomatoes from Maule's Earliest of All, and without nursing any 

 plants in a hothouse either; the first that have ever been raised to amount to any- 

 thing in this neighborhood. 



Mrs. J. W. McCombs, Adrian, Mo.— I am delighted with your garden seeds; they 

 are the best I have ever used. From your Earliest of All Tomatoes I had ripe 

 tomatoes last year the 18th of June; this year the 28th of June, this being a dry 

 season. I sold SIO.OO worth of tomatoes off of three little rows, and had enough for 

 family use until frost. 



R. N. Widmyer, Berkeley Springs, W. Va.— I am more than satisfied with 

 Maule's Seeds. Your Earliest of All Tomato beats anything I ever had; off of 100 

 plants I sold $15.00 worth; and out of 275 hills of Kendel's Early Giant Corn I sold 

 60 dozen ears; it matured in 60 days and was the first corn in our market by 10 days. 



Mrs. Nattie Bivin, Turle.y, Ind. Ter.— Your seeds are the finest I ever planted. 

 Your EarlifSt of All Tomatoes are 15 days earlier than any others; and the Succesi 

 Tomatoes are the best I ever planted. 



T. Greiner, LaSall?, N. Y.— I was much pleased to receive those tomato plants; 

 they were as fine plants as I ever received from anybodj' or ever grew myself. 

 The Maule's Earliest of All came out ahead. In another test lot, plants grown by 

 myself, planted on same date with Early Michigan, Earliana, Chalk's, etc,, Maule's 

 Earliest fruited first. 



Jas. M. Stevens, I'ilO Spring St., Springfield, Mo.— I must say your Earliest of 

 All Tomato takes the cake, and should be the idol of every truck grower. The 

 plant is sturdy and thrifty, stands drought well, and it is one of the most prolific 

 producers I have ever tried. From the 50 plants I set out I realized §35.00, and had 

 all the tomatoes we needed for canning purposes. I commenced marketing the 

 Earliest of All the 1st of July, but had ripe tomatoes to eat from these same vines 

 the 21th of June. I had tomatoes on the market, grown altogether outdoors, as 

 early as the hot house men did. and mine commanded a better price. The Earliest 

 of AH is undoultedly acclimated to Southwest Mo., and is the best. I planted a 

 bed 6x12 feet of your Bed Wethersfleld Onion, used them all spring and summer, 

 and stored 1 bushels for winter. They are a most beautiful yielder; some of them 

 measured 4 inches across, and they are of good size and fine flavor. 



NEW JUNE PINK TOMATO. 



The orisrinator claims: "June Pink ripens as early as Spark's Earli- 

 ana. Foliaare closely resembles tlie .Spark's Earliana, and many, not 

 observing the fruit, would naturally think It was that variety. The 

 fruit somewhat resembles Spark's Earliana in shape, but instead of 



being red in color, is a handsome, deep pink. It commands the very 

 highest prices in the market, and the past season when red varletle* 

 were briueing 81.2-5 to 81..50, June Pink was selling at $2.2o to 82.50 per 

 crate." This tomato, first offered last year, promises to be in great 

 demand this season, especially with all those who prefer a pink 

 tomato. I take pleasure in ofl'ering direct headquarters stock. 



Packet, 15 cents; linlf ounce, 75 cents; ounce, $1.35; quarter pound, $3.50; pound, $13.50
