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. 
332—GULF STATE MARKET—Used exten¬ 
sively in the South for shipment to northern 
markets. Vines vigorous, open and medium 
height. Fruits purplish-pink, large and of 
uniform size, thick skinned and very solid. Pkt. 
10c; oz. 30c; Li lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; postpaid. 
Tomato—Marglobe 
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 
crimson color, perfect in shape, flesh very firm, very productive, yielding 
more fruit per acre than any other kind, ripens early and evenly, excellent for 
early market. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Li lb. 85c; lb. $3.00; postpaid. 
334— JUNE PINK—Earliest of pink varieties. Similar to the popular scarlet- 
fruited Earliana in growth of vine, shape and size of fruit and time of matur¬ 
ing. Fruits grow in clusters, measure three inches in diameter and are 
of excellent quality. Begins to mature very early and continues to bear until 
the vines are killed by frost. Pkt. 10c; oz. 25c; Li ib. 85c; lb. $3.25; postpaid.

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 climates in Texas better than the vining va¬ 
rieties ; and now we have got a dandy, which will be hard to beat. Pkt. 10c; 
oz. 30c; Li lb. $1.00; lb. $3.50; postpaid.
