The Greatest of all Early Tomatoes 



Today, 25 years after its 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 

 OlherJExtra Early Tomato 



Since 1892 our friends have made tens of thous- 

 ands of dollars by planting Maule's Earhest of All, 

 and if you have not given this wonderful variety 

 a trial you will neglect your oAvn interests if you 

 do not include it in your order for 1917. Maule's 

 Earliest of All is the best tomato in America for 

 truckers, market gardeners and money makers. 



Nor is its extreme earlmess its only virtue, for 

 it is of large size, good color and delicious flavor. 

 It does not crack and has no large core. Color is 

 a bright red, and though a httle irregular in 

 shape, the fruit is not rough. 



Pages of this Seed Book could be filled ^nth 

 statements and comments about the money value of this fine, early tomato; but the best testi- 

 monial that we can present in regard to its worth is the fact that our customers, especially our 

 market gardener friends, have again and again exhausted 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, notwithstanding the claims made for June Pink. 

 Earliana, King of the Earlies, Early Michigan, Chalk's Early Jewel, John Baer, etc.

June Pink 



(Bright pink.) June Pink ripens as early as 

 Earliana. In markets where pink varieties 

 are preferred it will bring 25 per cent, more in 

 price than similar red varieties. The vine is 

 compact and branches freely, with handsome, 

 good size, deep pink fruit hanging in clusters. 

 A popular market variety also equally desira- 

 ble for home use.

Greater Baltimore 



(Brilliant red.) This grand second early variety 

 produces large brlgtit red tomatoes in clusters at 

 every second joint. The vines are vigorous, com- 

 pact and liealthy growers; a heavy cropper of large, 

 smooth, well formed tomatoes; deep from stem to 

 blossom end. Very firm and meaty. Free from 

 ridges, cracks and blight. For canning or the home 

 garden the results liave been far beyond expectations. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oi., 23 cts.; \^ lb., 75 cts.; lb., $9.50.

Red Rock 



(Bright red.) A wonderful main crop variety, pro- 

 ducing large, solid, bright red tomatoes free from an 

 excess of water, as smooth as an apple, of superior 

 texture and flavor, an enormous cropper and an ex- 

 cellent shipper. The vine is a vigorous grower which 

 protects the fruit from sunscald. Very good for home 

 or market use and for canning it is unexcelled.

657 Maule's Imperial 



Also called Trucker's Favorite 



(Purplish pink.) Maule's Imperial is unquestiona- 

 bly the best pink fruited tomato in the market today. 

 Not quite as early as Maule's Earliest of All, but only 

 a few days later. The fruits are beautifully smooth, 

 and in market this variety invariably commands the 

 highest prices at all times and in all seasons. The 

 flavor is of the best. It ripens evenly to the stem, 

 and is highly productive. Maule's Imperial has 

 proved its adaptability to all sections. A desirable 

 home garden tomato or long distance shipper. 

 Pkt., 10 cts.; oz., 30 cts.; ] lb., 85 cts.; lb., $3.00, postpaid.
