 Enormous tomato, bred

 iutroduced to the public 

 in our Seed Book for 1899, 

 having been sent out the 

 previous year in packets 

 for trial under the uame 

 "Eight to the Yard." 

 Maule's Enormous, how- 

 ever, M as not bred merely 

 for large size. The name 

 was selected from the fact 

 that it seemed to apply 

 better to this wonderful 

 tomato than to any other. 

 In comparative trials 

 with other sorts, under 

 ordinary conditions, 

 Maule's Enonuous has 

 made a record for both 

 quality and quantity, 

 while the beauty of the 

 fruit makes it an easy and 

 quick seller in all mar- 

 kets. The fruit is re- 

 markably solid and fii-m. 

 Enormous is now uni- 

 versally recognized as a 

 standard main crop red 

 tomato, of great size and 

 productive ability, and of 

 the highest amateur and 

 "■ -. ' . . coDomercial quality.

 beautiful, large, bright red, solid tomatoes early in the season. On our

 say: John Baer produces large, beautiful, solid shipping tomatoes which 

 ripen earlv right up to the stem and is an enormous cropper, and when 

 dead ripe will not burst. The color is a glistening bright red, and it has 

 a mild, dellciously sweet flavor. It is solid and meaty and has just 

 enough foliage. Our seed is grown from the originator's stock on our 

 Seed Gardens, at Newfield. Nert- Jersev.
