Extra Early Varieties 
Maule’s Tomatoes Ready for Use in 80 to 85 Days 
Every garden should have an early as well as a main or general crop of tomatoes. Hither for market or home use, the idea of growing 
early 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 desirable} 
for canning. Do not plant in over-rich soil as it will cause an over-growth of foliage and few fruits. 
CULTURE.—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 hal:}| 
an inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches high transplant to 3-inch pots or into shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. Transplani 
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 plants 
an ounce about 3,500 plants, enough for an acre. Neponset paper pots, offered on page 178, are ideal for starting tomatoes.
