MATCHLESS — This new tomato is well named, as 

 it is Certainly muttliless in form, regularity of 

 growth and desirable shipping qualities. The 



si, in i eing ><< unusually tough, that it' picked when ripe, 

 they can be kept in good condition as long as ten days. 

 This qualification alone is enough to recommend it to 

 every grower of tomatoes for market in the country. It 

 is a remarkably strong grower and very productive, pro- 

 ducing fruit of the largest size right up to the time the 

 vines are killed by frost. The fniil are very free from 

 core, as can be seen from the illustration, which is an 

 accurate picture of a medium-sized Matchless when fully 

 mature. In color they are always a rich cardinal red, 

 and they are less liable to crack in wet weather than any 

 other large tomato. Kor quick market sales, they cam o't 

 be Surpassed and frequently bring from 25 to 50 

 ctK. a basket more than any other variety, even 

 when tomatoes are a glut on the market. The 

 Matchless Tomato is certain to please everyone, growers 

 and consumers alike, and is bound to be a popular 

 market variety long after many varieties that are now 

 being heavily advertised has been forgotten. Packet, 10 

 cents : ounce, 50 cents ; % pound, $1.50 ; pound, 55.00.

SEW DWARF CHAMPION 



Dwarf Champion possesses two qualities that 

 are bound to recommend it to all growers 

 of Tomatoes, whether for market or private 

 use ; one of these consists of that wonder- 

 ful qualification that even when laden 

 with fruit it is actually self-support- 

 ing, it- thick, stiff and short-jointed stems 

 holding the fruit from the ground when 

 loaded with Tomatoes. The second point 

 tuat particularly recommends Dwarf 

 Champion is its earliness, it having no 

 superior in this respect, excepting Earliest 

 Advance; but as its fruit is much larger 

 than the latter variety it will no doubt 

 prove more profitable as an earlv market 

 crop than this heretofore popular extra 

 early sort. The above two points are strong 

 in themselves, but there are others in 

 addition that should recommend Dwarf 

 i 'ti.impion to every reader of this catalogue. 

 It- close, upright growth enables it to be 

 plailte 1 closer than any other sort, conse- 

 quently it bids fair to surpass in product- 

 iveness every other variety, as a half-bushel 

 of full-grown Tomatoes can frequently be 

 se i-ii on a single vine. In shape it is of 

 tin-' li it in size, the fruit resembling the Acme, 

 being Of a purplish pink color, and alwavs 

 smooth and symmetrical in form. The 

 llcsh is solid and of superior quality, while, 

 on account of its tough skin, it will bear 

 transportation much better than many 

 other varieties. Its dwarf, compact growth, 

 attractive appearance, earliness in ripen- 

 ing, and aoovc all, that great quality of 

 self-supporting its fruit, will cause Iiwarf 

 Champion to prove one of the mint 



Popular varieties ever intro-'ur.'d.

POTATO LEAP TOMA- 

 TO. — This is a second early, and 

 is ever-bearing until the vines 

 are killed by frost, and it takes 

 a pretty sharp frost or two 

 before the vines are injured, 

 so protected are they by 

 the heavy foliage. It has 

 a very strong vine and 

 resists the wind re- 

 markably well. It 

 has the Acme color, 

 and is very prolific. 

 The leaf resem- 

 bles the Turner 

 Hybrid, hence 

 its name, but 

 while the 

 fruit are not 



One sample from many. 



Wm. Henry Manle, Esq., SlMCOE, November 17, 1889. 



Dtar Sir:— I always advocated and used Canadian seeds, until I was prevailed 

 upon last spring by friend Matthews to try Maule's American grown. " A wise 

 man turns when fie sees ttie error of his ways, but a fool never will." No more 

 Canadian truck for me. Your seeds seem to grow twice. I sowed your onion seed 



as I usually did Canadian seed and 

 I thinned out onionsenough toset 

 out an acre I should think. The 

 season was cold and wet to 

 begin with, then a lone con- 

 tinued drouth • only for the 

 great vitality of your 

 sc. ds I should have had 

 no cop, but as ft was, 

 iny onions were ad- 

 mired by all who 

 saw them.
