651 Maule’s Earliest of All % 
The favorite of all early tomatoes (56 days) 
Maule’s Earliest of All is the best early tomato for home gardens and 
market. Its extreme earliness is not its only merit, for the fruits are large, 
rich red in color, and extremely meaty. They do not crack, neither do they 
have a hard core. While they are a trifle irregular in shape, they are not 
_rough. ; 
This famous tomato was intro- 
duced by Wm. Henry Maule in 1892, 
and in the half-century since then it 
has never been surpassed for earli- 
ness. Countless thousands of satis- 
fied customers have grown this time- 
tested variety, and if you want a 
supremely fine tomato as well as the 
very first one in your neighborhood 
you must grow it, too.

730 Fordhook Hybrid 
An innovation in breeding (60 days) 
This is the first hybrid to- 
mato placed on the market. It 
is about asearly as Earliana, yet 
yields more fruits than any 
other tomato, regardless of ma- 
turity. The fruits are not large, 
weighing about 5 ozs., but they 
are of excellent globe shape, 
and superior to other early 
varieties in color, smoothness, 
and flavor. The plants grow 
with remarkable vigor, as ex- 
pected in a first generation hy- 
brid, and this free foliage growth 
protects the fruits from the 
sun. Wilt-resistant. See page 2 
for more information.
