Maule's Success Tomato 



UNEXCELLED FOR HOME USE. UNRIVALED FOR SHIPPING. THE BEST FOR CANNING. 



(Bright Red.) Maule's Success tomato found a place for itself at once in the high esteem of every tomato grower 

 who planted It. In shape Maule's 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 an unequaled shipper. The vines 

 are vigorous but compact. The joints are short and it always 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 we have ever seen. On the 

 market stall its beautiful appearance and color make it sell ahead of all sorts, and its unusual solidity, few seeds 

 and desirable form make it the most desirable canning variety known. The largest growers of tomatoes for can- 

 ning and market purposes are all enthusiastic about Maule's Success.
