BONNY BEST EARLY. 



BONNY BEST EARLY. 



This new variety is fully ten days- 

 to two weeks earlier than Chalk's 

 Early Jewel, and within two or 

 three days as early as Earliana. It 

 is a vigorous grower, enormously 

 prolific, with larger foliage than the 

 Earliana, which will protect the 

 fruit from the hot sun, on days 

 when other early varieties with less 

 foliage wouid scald. In shape it is 

 roundish and slightly flattened at 

 the stem end but thicker through 

 than most .other tomatoes in its 

 class. In color it is a beautiful 

 scarlet red; setting its fruit in clus- 

 ters of five or more at close inter- 

 vals. When ripening each set 

 ripens nearly all at once, and ripen 

 evenly all over up to the stem. 

 Makes a magnificent variety for 

 slicing; its greatest characteristic is. 

 its uniformity of size and smooth- 

 ness in shape. Does not grow as. 

 large as Chalk's Early Jewel, but 

 holds its marketable size all through 

 its growing season. A good early 

 red skin variety for all purposes. 

 Pkt., 10c; oz., 40c; I lb., $1.25; lb., $4.00. 



Herbert Anstey, Salisbury Md.— I take this opportunity to thank you for the 

 splendid tomato seed I bought of you recently. I purchased 8 pounds, 4 of which 

 I planted on ray own farm, and I believe every seed has come up; and I have more 

 thrifty plants than would cover 200 acres. So much for your New Magnificent. 



Bob Elliott, Solitude, N. C— You ought to see my Success Tomatoes. I have 

 cultivated tomatoes ever since I was a child, have made it a hobby; but have never 

 seen anything to equal your Success. 



B. F. Robinson. Emmett. Tenn.— The seeds I ordered from you last year were 

 O. K. I raised luu bushels Earliest of All tomatoes from 700 plants, and sold them 

 at $1.80 per bushel; I had ripe tomatoes three weeks before my neighbors. 



John C. Linthicum, Romncy, W. Va.— Your Maule's Earliest of All Tomato took 

 the premium hi re for earliness. I planted Burpee's Early, June Pink and Earliana; 

 yesterday got 5 ripe ones from yours and not a sign of a ripe one from the others. 



John Pogue, Ramona, Okla.— Your New Magnificent is the only tomato for 

 main crop. They stand more rain, more drought, more handling, and there is no 

 finer tomato grown. In short, your seeds are all the very best. 



Dr. J. F. Rees, Owenton, Ky.— I have planted your Earliest of All Tomatoes for 

 three years, and like them very much. They are earlier than any I know of. I 

 planted the seed early and set out in the ground about the first of May. This year 

 1 set out 325 and had ripe tomatees June 28th; sold about $85.00 worth of tomatoes 

 from this small plot, besides using all we wanted for a family of seven; and the 

 remarkable part is that from June 28th until now, Oct. 22nd, we have had toma- 

 toes, while others set out at same time and some later, ceased to bear long ago. 



S. B. Parsons, Arkansas City. Kan.— Perhaps you would like to know how your 

 Earliest of All Tomato succeeds here in Southern Kansas. I had not intended to. 

 sell any tomatoes, but as they were scarce I sent some to town, and for weekB they 

 were the only home grown tomatoes on the market, and I cleared about $30.00. The 

 vines bore well all summer and I had ripe tomatoes the first week in November. 



Mrs. Adam Smith, State College, Pa.— Seven of my Enormous tomatoes raised 

 from seed purchased of you last year measured 3 feet and 1 inch. Such tomatoes* 

 neither I nor my neighbors ever saw before. 



W. O. Carson. Greenville, 111.— I purchased some of your Enormous Tomato this, 

 season, with a record of 7 tomatoes to the yard, or an average of 5 1-7 inches per 

 tomato. Yesterday (Aug. 7th) I measured one from my green crop, that is, per- 

 fectly green, and it measured strong 5 inches. Many sightseers pronounced it 

 should reach at least 5ii or 5% inches at maturity. 



Mrs. A. B. McDowell, Gordon, Neb.— I have raised Maule's Earliest of All Toma- 

 toes for the last few years, and think.them the best of all. They are the earliest in 

 this part of the country. 



Mrs. G. V. Moncure, Rectory, Va. — I have tried several early tomatoes, but 

 always find Maule's Earliest of All about 10 days ahead of any of them. 



Mrs. John McDowell, Ligonier, Pa.— We have been buying your seeds for years« 

 and have the grandest garden anyone could wish for. Had good success with cab- 

 bage, and the Success Tomatoes were fine, large and smooth; also everything in the/ 

 vegetable line was a success. Peas and everything we planted did extra good. 

 Never ate any celerj' as good as the White Plume. 



NEW CORELESS. 



INew Goreless. 



A perfect globe shaped medium to large size tomato of recent intro- 

 duction. 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. Jt 

 Is most productive, cluster of six or more fruits being produced at close 

 intervals all along the vines. Fine for slicing, the seed cells being sur- 

 rounded by bright red, heavy, meaty and delicious flesh, which is 

 Blightly more acid than in some other varieties. 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. A main 

 crop tomato for canneis, home or market gardeners. 

 Packet, 10 cents; ounce, 40 cents. 



JUNE PINK. 



June Pink. 



This grand early variety originated in New Jersey and was first, 

 offered in 1906; it is fast becoming popular with gardeners that wish an 

 extra early pink skin tomato. The originator claims June Pink ripens 

 as early as Earliana. Foliage and shape of tomato closely resembles 

 Earliana, and manv, 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. The vine is 

 compact and branches freely: with handsome, good size, deep pink 

 fruit hanging in clusters. A popular market and shipping variety 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.; \i pound, 91.00; pound, 93.50.
