90—Vegetable Seeds

225,000 Sample Packets Without a Name Distributed Among My Customers for 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 different soils and various climatie 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 different 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 acccunt of its perfection. Rub each tomato 
Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents; 
with a dry cloth, and your basket will challenge any gardener | 
for size, smoothness, richness of color and general perfection. | 
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 fruit | 
ripens early, and the later fruit on the vines is just as large 
and perfect as the early. After two heavy 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 tomato 
growing in the gardens of their neighbors were struck by its | 
remarkable beauty, making the remark they must surely | 
have some of this seed next year, so that Maule’s Magnificent / 
has at once sprung into popular favor.

c1 New Goreless Tomato 
(Scarlet red.) A perfect globe shaped medium to large size 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, 
which is slightly more acid than in some other varieties. In color it 
isa 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. A 
main crop tomato for canners, home or market gardeners. 4

cz June Pink Tomato 
(Bright pink.) This grand early variety originated in New Jersey 
who wish an extra early pink skin tomato. The originator claims June 
Pink ripens as early as Earliana. Foliage and shape of tomato closely 
resemble Earliana, and many, not observing the fruit, would naturally ~ 
think it was that variety. In market where pink varieties are preferred 
it will bring 25 per cent. more in price than similar red varieties. 
vine is compact and branches freely: with handsome, good size, deep 
and has other good qualities, making it especially desirable for home 
use, as it continues to bear and ripen its attractive fruit up until frost. 
Packet, 10 cts.; ounce, 35 cts.; 14 pound, $1.00; pound, $3.50. 
and was first offered in 1906; it is fast becoming popular with gardeners ~
