Maulers Magnificent Tomato 



225,000 Sample Packets Without a IVame Distributed Among My Customers lor Trial in 1903 



(Bright red.) Never before has any vegetable been tried so 

 thoroughly in all sections of the country as Maule's Magnifi- 

 cent. In difTerent soils and various climatic conditions 

 it came out with flying colors. The name, suggested by 

 eleven customers, expresses in one word how really good it is, 

 and it certainly well deserves the name of Magnificent. In 

 describing it I cannot do better than quote from a report sent 

 to me by Mr. A. F. Boyd, Limestone, Pa. Mr. Boyd writes as 

 follows : "It is difTerent from all other tomatoes in almost 

 every particular. First — The plants root well from the very 

 beginning of their growth. Second — As the result of this 

 strong growth of root there is a large and vigorous growth of 

 stock to support the weight of the fruit. Third — As a result 

 of this strong and vigorous growth of stock the spreading 

 branches produce a great abundance of fruit from each plant, 

 giving larger crops than other tomatoes of equal acreage. 

 Fourth— The fruit is large, solid and smooth, easily prepared 

 for market on account of its perfection. Rub each tomato 



with a dry cloth, and your basket will challenge any gardener 

 for size, smoothness, richness of color and general p)erfection. 

 A good shipper, does not crack or rot; unsurpassed for canning. 

 Fifth — The plant is hardy, can be set out early and not be 

 injured by the cold if protected from frost. Sixth — The first 

 fruit always ripens evenly, and the later fruit on the vines is 

 just as large and perfect as the first. After two hea\'j' frosts 

 (the vines lightly covered with straw) we are selling as fine 

 tomatoes as I have ever seen, the people glad to get them at 

 one dollar per bushel. If you want an abundant crop of solid, 

 smooth, bright red, meaty tomatoes that will be large and 

 good as long as vines can be protected from frosts, send for 

 Maule's Magnificent." 



Thousands upon thousands of people, seeing this main crop 

 tomato growing in the gardens of their neighbors were struck 

 by its reiparkable beauty, making the remark they must 

 surely have some of this seed next year, so that Maule's Mag- 

 nificent at once sprung into popular favor.

The Coreless Tomato 



(Scarlet red.) A perfect globe shaped medium to large late tomato of 

 recent introduction. This new shape is preferred by many growers; it 

 is almost round, being about the same diameter each way. There is 

 little or no depression at the stem end; making it very economical for 

 all uses. It is most productive, clusters of six or more fruits being pro- 

 duced at close intervals all along the vines. Fine for slicing, the seed 

 cells being surrounded by bright red, heavy, meaty and delicious flesh. 

 In color it is a rich bright red. On account of its superior solidity it is 

 a good long distance shipper. The vine is a strong and most luxuriant 

 grower. Packet, lOcts,; oz,, US cts,; \^ pound, 75 ots;poand, $1i,50.

Greater Baltimore 



(Brilliant red.) This grand second early variety produces large 

 bright red tomatoes in clusters at every second joint; the joints are 

 short and sturdy. The vines are vigorous, compact and healthy 

 growers; a heavy cropper of large, smooth, well formed tomatoes; deep 

 from stem to blossom end. Very firm and meaty. It ripei s evenly to 

 the stem and is free from ridges, cracks and blight. Recommended by 

 growers in Florida and Texas and for canning or the home garden the 

 results have been far beyond expectations. An excellent shipper. Seed 

 grown in New Jersey at Panmure from the originator's stock.
