<= 
EARLIEST ADVANCE.

Sometimes ready in 90 days

' red in color, of fair but not

son. Skinsmooth. Shape quite 
regular, considering size. A 
fine table and market sort. PEt., 
10 cts.; 0z., 40 ets.; 14 1b., $1.20. 
EXTRA EARLY PURPLE 
Earliest Advance, and matures 
as early. It is firmer than 
money maker for the market 
gardener whose trade demands 
a purple tomato. It is of me- 
dium size, and altogether a 
fine early tomato. Pkt., 10 cts.; 
0z., 25 cts.; 4 1b., 75 ets. 
IGNOTUM.—A large main

crack and resists drought well. 
It is among the earliest of the 
large, deep red, smooth varie- 
ties. In New Jersey it is grown 
quite largely as a second early. 
Its fine, Smooth form and good 
color make it a quick market 
seller. Packet, 5 cents; ounce, 
25 cents; 144 pound, 75 cents; 
pound, $2.50. 
DWARF STONE. — This 
excellent strain of the Stone 
Tomato is claimed to be more 
productive and larger fruited 
than the old Stone. In fact, it 
is about the largest of all the 
dwarf or bush tomatoes, aver- 
aging, at times, 4 inches in 
diameter and 2% inches in 
depth, stem to blossom end. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 80 cts.; 
ly pound, $1.00; pound, $3.00. 
CHALK’S EARLY 
JEWEL. — At Panmure last 
Season I gave this variety a 
thorough test. I find it is not 
to be classed with Earliest of 
All or Earliana. It matured 
with us about the same time 
as Success, and while it is a 
smooth and productive sort 
Should be classed with the 
second early varieties. The 
Seed I offer was carefully 
grown at Panmure from stock 
obtained at a high price direct 
from the introducer. Packet, 
10 cts.; 0z., 50 cts.; 44 1lb., $1.25. 
EARLY \ : zg MAULE’S EARLIEST OF ALL.—(See page 1.)

Mr. Greiner has this to say about them in The Practical Farmer 
Too much cannot be said in favor of Maule’s Earliest as a first early 
tomato. It has proved slightly earlier than Earliana. It has the open 
foliage (even more so) of the Harliana, and seems to set fruit even more 
freely fthat be possible. In short, these two sorts can be depended upon 
to give very early tomatoes in abundance. The specimens are large, 
quite different from the old Ruby, and the earlier sorts of that type, and 
‘reasonably smooth and uniform. ‘They are also quite solid, although 


possibly not considered up to the full standard of Success and others of 
that class in point of quality. But we get the tomatoes, and get them at 
a time when people want them and are willing to pay a good price for 
}them. Then there is Chalk’s Karly Jewel. It has more foliage than. the 
two before mentioned. It is, therefore,’a little later. The fruit is beauti- 
ful, large, smooth; in fact, as smooth as any of the later sorts, and this 
fruit will sell. But it is not so prolific as the other two, although it prob- 




| ably will hold out longer, and furnish tomatoes long after Maule’s and 
a) Earliana have exhausted themselves by heavy bearing, and perhaps 
i have died down. The fruit of Chalk’s Early Jewel has the distinct divi- 
HI sions or partitions of some of the earlier sorts, and therefore is not first- 
|) class in quality and solidity. 
“ Thos. B. Taylor, Lebanon, Tenn.—I must compliment your Maule’s Earliest of All 
‘ Tomato. They excel any I have ever grown. I had tomatoes in market 15 days before 
‘| any other gardener. One dogen weighed 6 pounds and some measured 11}4 inches 
my around; all nice, smooth tomatoes. They are certainly the finest early tomatoes I 
4H) have ever grown in this country. 
r] \ J. P. Norton, Clifford; Ind.—I had Maule’s Earliest of All Tomatoes in market 10 
ah | days before any other person. I never saw another early tomato that gave such 
‘| it Satisfaction for size, smoothness and fine quality, and for productiveness. I believe 
—— Uh they will outyield any field tomato I ever saw. While all other tomatoes were rot- 
: = POW ee ting, I scarcely found one that was affected with rot.

SRA RRR I 
Urs. J. L. Reeger, Greensburg, Pa.— 
We purchased a 100-pound bag of your 
Panmure Plant Food in the spring of 
1904, and used it on our garden truck. 
It gave us the best results of anything in 
that line we have ever used. Last year 
in 1903 we had limed our cabbage. This 
year we used your Plant Food and had 
far better results. We never raised such 
large heads of cabbage before.
