Success Tomato, offered for the first time in my 1900 catalogue under 
the name of ‘‘Maule’s 1900,” found a place for itself at once in the high 
esteem of every tomato grower who planted it. That it well deserves 
the name ‘‘Success’”’ is borne out in fact that in 1900, when I offered $100 
for a name for this variety, 37 of my customers suggested the name Suc- 
cess. Noother name would have been as appropriate, and no better 
title has been found for a new vegetable, fruit or flower for many a day. 
In shape, Success issmooth, well formed, and extremely deep from stem 
to blossom, making it unusually heavy. It ripens évenly to the stem, 
and is without ridges or cracks; it has great meatiness and few seeds. It 
is firm without being hard, an unrivalled home tomato and an un- 
equalled shipper. The vines are vigorous but compact. The joints are 
short and it always fruits in large clusters at every second joint, which 
accounts for its wonderful productiveness. Successis the heaviest for its 
size of any variety, and on account of its brilliant red color, depth and 
solidity, is the handsomest tomato I have ever seen. During the last 
two years almost 10,000 letters have come to hand from my customers, 
praising Success in the highest terms. On the market stall, its beauti- 
ful appearance and color makes it sell ahead of all sorts, and its unusual 
solidity, few seeds, and desirable form for rapid peeling without waste, 
makes it the most desirable canning variety known. The largest grow- 
ers of tomatoes for canning and market purposes are all enthusiastic 
about Success, and so many orders for flve pound lots at $20.00 have al- 
ready come to hand, that I would advise early orders from all desiring 
80 large a quantity. I have never introduced a variety of any vegetable 
that has sprung so quickly into popuiar favor as the New Success Tomato.

I stated that last years catalogue was goud 
enough to bring down two birds with one stone, 
and as I think this Silver Anniversary Book con- 
siderably better, I see no reason why it should 
not do equally as well. Some time this winter 
or spring, you will visit or be visited by one of 
your neighbors, who has never planted Maule’s 
Seeds. Tell him you are going to send me your 
order, and that you wish him to send with you. 
If you do this,and your combined orders amount 
to $3.00 or over, I will send to both you and your 
neighbor one packet each of the above Tomato, 
Radish and Cucumber. In every case, however, 
to secure these free packets of seed, you must 
send in your own, and your neighbor’s orders on 
separate sheets, but in the same envelope, so 
each person’s order will be sent direct to him. 
I first made this offer in my catalogue for 1901. 
It was quite successful. In some cases my cus- 
tomers who were about to send in their orders, 
saw their neighbor, and influenced him to send 
in as much as $10.00, in addition to their own. On 
account of this success, I have decided to offer 
$200 IN FOUR CASH PRIZES. 
$100 for the largest combined order from your- 
self and neighbor, received before July 1st, 1902; 
$50.00 for the second largest combined order; 
$30.00 for the third largest combined order; -$20.00 
for the fourth largest combined order sent me 
by yourself and neighbor, making $200in cash 
prizes to be awarded to the four customers whose 
orders, combined with that of one neighbor are 
the four largest sent me on or before July Ist 
next. This has nothing to do with the $L400 in 
cash prizes offered on page 2. 
You will notice the above applies 
SPECIAL NOTE to your neighbor; in no case will 
I accept orders and allow this premium when it comes 
from two persons residing in the same house or planting 
the same garden; and your neighbor, whose order you 
send in must not be one of my customers but sume one 
who has never planted Maule’s Seeds.

NEW CUMBERLAND CUCUMBER. 
The Best Pickling Cucumber. 
This brand new cucumber, offered this year for the first time, is a hy- | 
brid of the Peerless White Spine, and Parisian Pickling. In it are com-| 
bined the strong growth and great productiveness of one parent, with | 
the crispness, soildity and attractive appearance of the other. It is of|| 
the White Spine type; a hardy, strong and vigorous grower, and very | 
prolific. The pickles differ from other hardy sorts in being thickly set 
with fine spines over the entire surface, except the extreme stem end, and 
during the whole period of growth, from the time they first set until ful- | 
ly grown, the form is exceptionally straight and symmetrical, thus be-| 
ing as choice a slicing variety as it is for pickles. The flesh is firm, but | 
very crisp and tender at all stages. The illustration from a photograph | 
shows its exact form. 
_The New Cumberland was originated by Messrs Chauncey P. Coy «& | 
Son, one of the largest growers of cucumbers in the U.S. Mr. Coy writes. 
me: “We consider it the best of our productions, and expect to see it at || 
the head of the list. We honestly believe it to be the best pickling cucum- | 
ber ever produced.” I can with pleasure endorse everything Mr. Coy | 
has to say about his New Cumberland, and am glad that I placed a year | 
ago a large order for seed with Mr. Coy and so am able to offer it in this 
the first year for the New Cumberland at the following reasonable 
prices. Packet, 10 cts.; oz., 15 cts.; 4 Ib., 40 cts.; Ib., $1.50. 
THE JUST-SO RADISH. 
Offered for the First Time in rigor. 
Named on account of its 
Absolute Uniformity. i| 
The Just-So is not lacking in any good qualities, but its most striking | 
characteristic is its absolute uniformity of growth, both size and shape. | 
Out of 1,000 seeds sown I expect to get just 1,000 radishes, and all as much 
alike as peas out of the same pod. This uniformity of growth adds to) 
the beauty and market value of the bunched radish, and makes it espec- | 
ially desirable for commercial purposes. It will be found to be “just-so” | 
every time, hence its name. | 
In competition for the $25.00 offered last season for the best report on 
this variety, hundreds of letters came to hand, the prize was awarded 
Wm. T. Woerner of New Brunswick, N. J., who sent in the following: | 
“The Just-So is the best all around Radish ever offered to the Ameri- 
can Public. I have tested nearly every variety sent out, have originated 
many varieties myself, but nothing has ever come to my notice that 
will equal Just-So. They mature very early. I was able to pull fine 
radishes in 20 days from sowing the seed, radishes that would measure jf; 
over one inch in diameter fine, crisp, white and smooth. I never saw |} 
such a sight, they were like peas in a pod, ali alike, one crowding the 
other out of the ground, every seed produced a fine radish, and this on 
poor, gravelly soil which has had no manure applied in years. For fore- 
ing in hot or cold beds they have no equal, I have tested them in every 
way and am well satisfied.” 
Just-So is a white globe shaped radish of the highest merit, table qual- 
ity, general excellence, good appearance and quickness of growth It is: j 
good for forcing and for open air culture. Itis mild, crisp, juicy, sweet if} 
ana appetizing, and altogether a toothsome and desirable sort. I especi- 
ally commend this new variety to my customers as an extra choice early | 
Radish. Jts fine qualities will make it a universal favorite for table use, |} 
and its remarkable uniformity of growth will insure ready sales in the} 
market. Its quick cropping will make it profitable. U 
This is only the second year for Just-So, but I am glad to be able to 
offer the seed in quantity. Pkt., 10 cts.: oz., 25 cts.; 14 lb., 75 cts.; 1b., $2.50.
