Hardie’s Tomatoes of Merit 
After close study of hundreds of varieties for flavor, color, ripening period and canning and. shipping qualities, we offer the 
varieties listed below as best for the Southwest. 
CULTURE—For early crops sow in January and February in pots and boxes, ,in a place near a window or in mild hotbeds: 
keep well watered; when plants are three inches high transplant into another frame, to remain until ready for planting out; this 
makes them strong and stocky. If you wish the first fruits that set to ripen quickly, pinch off the tops of vine and later fruit 
shoots; all vining varieties ought to be staked and tied up. -• • 
324 — BLUE STAR BEAUTY —Improved 
strain of the old Beauty, and grown 
especially for us. Grows in clusters of 
four to six large fruits. Of glossy crim¬ 
son color, perfect in shape, flesh very 
firm, very productive, yielding more 
fruit per acre than any other kind, 
ripens early and evenly, and for early 
market cannot be excelled. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; ’/4 lb. 85c; lb. $3.00; postpaid. 
325 — BREAK O’ DAY — This new 
tomato is an origination of the Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture and is the result 
of crossing Marglobe and Marwana. It 
has created a sensation among the 
growers by its heavy turnout per acre. 
The fruits are large, smooth, red, solid 
and almost seedless. From present indi¬ 
cations this will become the most popu¬ 
lar early tomato in the market garden¬ 
ing districts. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; >/4 lb. 
$1.00; lb. $3.50; postpaid. 
326 — CHALK’S EARLY JEWEL —Very 
heavy cropper. Fine large fruit of a 
sweet flavor, ripening a week or ten 
days later than the Earliana; color 
bright scarlet, ripens up to the stem, 
without cracks or green core; flesh is 
thick and solid with few seeds. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 75c; lb. $2.50;

327— CLARK’S EARLY —An early va¬ 
riety. Bright scarlet color. The fruits 
are large, regular and exceptionally 
deep through fx-om stem to bottom. The 
vines are vigorous and prolific and bear 
their fruit in clusters that are most at¬ 
tractive. W T e consider this a valuable 
addition to the early varieties for can- 
ners and shippers. Pkt. 10c; oz. 30c; 
</4 lb. 90c; lb. $3.00; postpaid.

like growth enables it to withstand the

ity to the regular Stone, quite as pro¬ 
ductive, and like it, smooth, solid and 
of a beautiful scarlet color. We have 
often wished we had as fine a tomato 
as the Stone in a Dwarf variety, as 
Bush Tomatoes suit the condition of 
climate in Texas better than the vin¬ 
ing vai-ieties; and now we have got a 
dandy, which will be hai'd to beat. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 30c; '/4 lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50;

the wilt-resistant vai'ieties for the South.

set in clusters of 5 to 7 on vines with a 
medium to heavy growth. It is a wonder¬ 
ful scarlet color—an extra good shipper. 
Try it this year without fail. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 25c; 1/4 lb. 85c; lb. $3.00; postpaid.
