A friend having sent Maule's Catalogue to Mr. 

 , lie reads it through with considerable pleas- 

 ure. He comes to the conclusion that there are 

 many things in it he ought to have, and that he 

 will invest $2 in Maule's Seeds to see if they really 

 will prove as good as represented.

TOMATOES. 



TFRXER HYBRID— MAINE'S 



$1600 STRAIN The greatest of 



all tomatoes; S100 for largest 

 grown. ■ See specialties for 1887). Pkt. 20c. 



EARLIEST ADVANCE — This line 

 new variety is unquestionably the 

 earliest by from 5 to 10 days. A cross 

 between Alpha and Perfection, it sur- 

 passes the former in wonderful early 

 ripening qualities, and equals the latter 

 in beautiful form and productiveness. 

 If you sow Advance you will have, with 

 favorable weather, fine tomatoes 90 

 days from the sowing of the seed. 

 It is an excellent shipper, being exempt 

 from rot or cracking, ripens all over at 

 once, and is wonderfully smooth — none 

 smoother. Xo matter how many sorts 

 yon have lately tried, yon need it. 

 My seed is all extra select, but supply is 

 so limited I can offer it only in small 

 quantities. Pkt., 15 cts.: oz., 75 cts. 



Fred. Schreimer, Jr., Chillicothe, O.: "Early 

 Advance Tomato gave the best results of any 

 tomato grown for earliness. I sold more toma- 

 toes the first part of July than all the gar- 

 deners in Chillicothe together. I put out about 

 1400 plants, and average over $1.00 a bushel, 

 and from the loth to 20th of August I could pick 

 over 100 bushels, if I had any sale for them. 

 They are not quite so large as the Acme, but 

 they come so much earlier, that it pays to 

 raise them." 



J. B. Thomson. Barnards. Pa.: "The Earliest 

 Advance Tomato is the best I ever saw. 



F. Linden, Council Bluffs, Iowa: "Earliest 

 Advance was 12 davs earlier than any other.
