Maule's Success Tomato 



Better Than 

 Stone 



(Bright red.) Maule's Success Tomato found a place for 

 itself at once in the high esteem of every tomato grower who 

 planted it. That it well deserves the name "Success" is borne 

 out by the fact that, when I ofTered §100 for a name for this 

 variety, 37 of my customers suggested the name Success. No 

 other name would have been as appropriate, and no better 

 title has been found for a new vegetable, fruit or flower for 

 many a day. In shape Success is smooth, well formed and 

 extremely deep from stem to blossom, making it unusually 

 heavy. It ripens evenly to the stem, and is without ridges or 

 cracks ; has great meatiness and few seeds. It is firm without 

 being hard; an unrivaled home tomato and au unequaled 

 shipper. The vines are vigorous but compact. Tbe joints 



are short and it ah^ays fruits in large clusters at every second 

 joint. This accounts for its wonderful productiveness. Maule's 

 Success is the heaviest for its size of any variety; on account 

 of its brilliant red color, depth and solidity, is the handsomest 

 main crop tomato I have ever seen. Almost 10,000 letters 

 have come to hand frona my customers, praising Success in 

 tbe highest terms. On the market stall its beautiful appear- 

 ance and color make it sell ahead of all sorts, and its unusual 

 solidity, few seeds and desirable form make it the most desir- 

 able canning variety known. The largest growers of tomatoes 

 for canning and market purposes are all enthusiastic about 

 Success. I have never introduced a variety of any vegetable 

 which has sprung so quickly into popular favor.
