Maulers Tomatoes 



Extra Early Varieties 



Ready for Use in 80 to 85 Days 



Every garden should have an early as well as a main or general crop of tomatoes. Either for market or home use, the idea of growing 

 early tomatoes is to get them as soon as possible and follow np 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 half 

 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. Transplant 

 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 iOO plants 

 an ounce about 3,500 plants, enough for an acre. Neponset paper pots, offered on page 175, are ideal for starting tomatoes. '

The Greatest of All Early Tomatoes 



Four Days to a Week Earlier Than Any Other Tomato 



If you have not given this wonderful variety 

 a trial you will neglect your own interests if you 

 do not include it in your order for 1922. Maule's 

 Earliest of All is the best extra earl}'' tomato in 

 America for the home or market gardener. 



Nor is its extreme earliness its only lirtue, for 

 it is of large size, good color and delicious flavor. 

 It does not crack and has no large core. Color is 

 a bright red, a little irregular in shape, but not 

 rough. Ready to pick in 80 da^^s. 

 ' Pages of this Seed Book could be filled with 

 statements and comments about the money value 

 of this fine, early tomato. Maule's Earliest of All 

 is all its name implies, namely : the earliest tomato 

 in existence, notwithstanding the claims made for 

 June Pink, Ear liana. King of the Ear lies. Early 

 Michigan, Chalk's Earl}^ Jewel, John Baer, etc.
