Maule's Tomatoes 



Extra Early Varieties 

 Ready for Use in 80 to 85 Days 



Every garden should have an early as well as a main or general crop of tomatoes. Either for market or home use, the idea of growln 

 early tomatoes is to get them as soon as possible and follow up with the main crop, which may be used in many ways and are especially desirabi 

 for canning. Do not plant in over-rich soil as it will cause an over-growth of foliage and few fruits. j] 



Culture. — Sow the seed in February or March in a hotbed, greenhouse or in shallow boxes in the house in rows 4 to 6 inches apart and haij 

 an inch deep. When the plants are about 2 inches high transplant to 3-lnch pots or into shallow boxes 4 inches apart each way. Transplai 

 in the open ground after all danger of frost is past, 3 to 4 feet apart each way. Cultivate frequently. A packet will produce about 100 plan 

 an ounce about 3,500 plants, enough for an acre. Ready to pick in 80 to 120 days.
