Maule'® Success Tomato ^''*l?Sne''^" § 



652 



(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 offered §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 tirm without 

 being hard; an unrivaled home tomato and an unequaled 

 shipper. The vines are vigorous but compact. The joints 



are short and it always fruits in large clusters at every secor 

 joint. This accounts for its wonderful productivenes 

 Maule's Success is the heaviest for its size of any variety, ar 

 on account of its brilliant red color, dej^th and solidity, is tl 

 handsomest tomato I have ever seen. Almost 10,000 lette 

 have come to hand from my customers, praising Success : 

 the highest terms. On the market stall its beautiful appea 

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

 solidity, few seeds and desirable form naake it the most desi 

 able canning variety known. The largest growers of tomato 

 for canning and market purposes are all enthusiastic abo 

 Success. I have never introduced a variety of any vegetat 

 which has sprung so quickly into popular favor.
