showing the 
interior Ahead in Quality. The Most Profitable 
of this Early Tomato in the World. 
rnilinicr Maule’s Earliest is the best tomato in America today for 
‘= truckers, market gardeners and money makers. 
sa ihng This profitable tomato is from five days to two weeks 
earlier than any other variety, nor is its extreme earliness 
Paenrohabl its only virtue, for it is of large size, good color and deli- 
Ig y 1 cious flavor. It does not crack and has no hard core. 
the Color is a bright red, and though a little irregular in 
shape, the fruit is not rough. 
inehestt Pages of this catalogue could be filled with statements 
and comments about the money value of this fine, early 
itcenin tomato; but the best testimonial that I can present in 
P regard to its worth is the fact that my customers, especially 
Philadelphia the New Jersey truckers, have again and again exhausted 
12 my entire stock of seed, even when I had imagined my 
Biernin supply to be quite sufficient for all demands. 
& Last year was no exception to the rule; in fact, I could 
Re only offer it in no larger than } pound packages, otherwise 
I should have been sold out by February Ist. This extra- 
months ordinary demand, however, was, I think, occasioned by 
the fact that owing to the glowing advertisements sent out 
in regard to Spark’s Earliana, a number of my Earliest of 
All customers had been persuaded to try that variety, 
with the result that after trial they made up their minds 
that while Earliana was a good tomato, Maule’s Earliest 
of All was not only just as early, but, in many cases, five 
to six days ahead of the Earliana. Both are good early 
tomatoes, but Earliest of All is all its name implies, 
namely: The earliest tomato in existence, notwithstand- 
ing the claims made for Earliana, Early Jewel, Early 
of 
February, 
March 
and 
April.
