THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1906 
Dwarf Champion Tomato. 
The famous Dwarf Champion 
tomato owes its wide popularity 
to its stiff, vigorous, upright 
growth, with fruit well above the 
soil, and to the earliness with 
which it reaches maturity. 
In color the fruit is a purplish 
red, and it is always round, 
smooth and symmetrical. Size 
medium. Table quality superior. 
A good shipper. Plants may be 
\ set 3 feet apart in rows 4 feet 
\ apart. One of the earliest and 
, most profitable tomatoes grown. 
The dark green wrinkled leaves 
4} bespeak a strong type. It is one 
of the best of the so-called tree 
tomatoes, and everywhere recog- 
| nized asa money maker. Packet, 
10 cents; ounce, 25cents;!4 pound, 
75 cents; pound, $2.50.

ity excellent in all respects.

STONE.—This has come to be recog- 
nized as one of the best of all the stand- 
ard sorts, though still comparatively 
new. The color is a desirable bright 
red. The fruit is of good size, perfectly

a famous main crop tomato in many 
sections, both North and South, and is 
much used for canning. The plants

ovation from the Atlantic to the 
Pacific. It wins praises wherever 
tried. Is now considered one of the 
greatest of the leading main crop 
sorts. Please see description among 
the yellow pages. 
THE TURNER HYBRID. — This is one of the largest, and most productive tomatoes 
grown. The color is a rich, pinkish red, with a suggestion of purple. The skin is thin, 
but so tough as to preserve the fruit a long time in good condition. The tomato in the basket 
is especially handsome. It ships well and sells quickly. The fruit ripens evenly to the stem, 
and is very smooth, with no hard core and in flavor is unsurpassed. It isa strong, vigorous 
grower, the vines demanding plenty of room. The foliage differs from all others, the leaves 
being entire and not cut or deeply lobed, resembling potato foliage. In fruiting capacity it is 
enormous. Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 25 cents; 14 pound, 75 cents; pound, $2.50.
