THE MAULE SEED BOOK FOR 1909 



iMLLE'5 _-, or 



The Greatest of all Early Tomatoes. 



Today, 17 years after its first introduction to the 

 American public, it is still the leading extra early 

 tomato, and all its name implies : 



Four Days to a Week Earlier Than 



Earliana or Any Other Extra 



Early Tomato. 



NOTE.-tn Monmouth County, N. /., where Earliana has been planted almost ex- 

 clusively for years, Maule's Earliest of All will be planted more largely than ever in 

 1909, taking the place of Earliana because the market growers there think it is so much 

 better and larger, is earlier and brings better prices. 



Since 1892 my friends have 

 made tens of thousands of dol- 

 lars by planting Maule's Earliest 

 of All and if you have not given this wonderful variety a trial 

 you will neglect your own interests if you do not include it in 

 your order for 1909 Maule's Earliest of All is the best tomato 

 in America tor truckers, market gardeners and money makers. 



Nor is its extreme earliness its only virtue, for it is of large 

 size good color and delicious flavor. It does not crack and has 

 no hard core. Color is a bright red, and though a little irregu- 

 lar in shape, the fruit is not rough. 



Pages of this catalogue could be filled with statements and 

 comments about the money value of this fine, early tomato • but 

 the best testimonial that I can present in regard to its worth is 

 the tact that my customers, especially the New Jersey truckers 

 have again and again exhausted my supply of seed, even when I 

 had imagined it to be quite sufficient for all demands. 



Earliest of All is all its name implies, namely: the earliest 

 tomato in existence, notwithstanding the claims made for June 

 Fink, Earliana, Early Jewel, Early Richmond, etc., etc.
