Maule's Tomatoes 



Extra Early Varieties 

 Ready for Use in 80 to 90 Days 



Every g-arden should have an early as well as a main or general crop of tomatoes. Either I'or market or home use, the Idea of growing 

 rly tomatoes is to get them as soon as possible and follow up with the main crop, which may be used in many ways and are especially 

 sirable for canning. Do not plant in over-rich soil as it will cause an over-growth of foliage and lew fruits. 



Ci'LTUiiE Sow the seed in February or March in a hotbed, greenhouse or in shallow boxes in the house in rows 4 to 6 inches apart and 



If an inch deep AVhen the plants are about 2 inches high transplant to 3-inch pots or into shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. Trans- 

 ant in the open ground after all danger of frost is past, 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate frequently. A packet will produce about 100 

 ants, an ounce about 3,500 plants, enough for an acre. Ready to pick in 80 to 120 days.
