Dependable Seed—Honest Prices—Quick Delivery—From_ Hardie’s 
Hardie’s Tomato Seed 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. 
341—OXHEART. This variety is different from 
other tomatoes. The fruit has a novel heart 
shape that makes it a special attraction for 
home gardeners. The fruit is pink, large, and 
smooth. Pkt., 10c; 0z., $1.00, postpaid. 
334—J UNE PINK. Earliest of pink varieties. 
Similar to the popular scarlet-fruited HBarliana 
in growth of vine, shape and size of fruit and 
time of maturing. 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., 70c; %4 Ib., $2.15; Ib., 
$7.75, postpaid. 
8283—DWARF CHAMPION. Extra well 
adapted to Texas; its stout, erect, bush-like 
growth enables it to withstand the strong 
prevailing winds. Grows about two feet high 
and stands quite erect without staking. In 
color and form the fruits are similar to the 
Acme. As early as any purple-fruited tomato; 
is very popular with Soutnern gardeners as 
well as for home use. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 80c; %4 
Ib., $2.35; Ib., $8.50, postpaid. 
329—DWARF STONE. Equal in quality to 
the regular Stone, quite as productive, and 
like it, smooth, solid and of a beautiful scar- 
let 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 varieties; and 
now we have got a dandy, which will be hard 
to beat. Pkt., 10c; oz., 80c; %4 Ib., $2.35; Ib., 
$8.50, postpaid. 
330—MARGLOBE (Certified). The Marglobe is 
without a doubt the best of the wilt-resistant 
varieties for the South. The fruit is of fair 
size, smooth and solid, set in clusters of 5 to 7 
on vines with a medium to heavy growth. It is 
a wonderful scarlet color—an extra good ship- 
per. Try it this year without fail. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 70c; %4 Ib., $2.00; lb., $7.50, postpaid. 
333—JOHN BAER. Unexcelled for gardeners 
serving local markets and for canning. Fruits 
handsome, medium sized, bright, deep scarlet- 
red, globe shaped, smooth and firm. Pkt., 10c; 
oz., 50c; %4 Ib., $1.50; Ib., $5.00, postpaid. 
325—BREAK O’ DAY. This new tomato is an 
origination of the Department 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 indications this will 
become the most popular early tomato in the 
market gardening districts. Pkt., 10c; oz., 
70c; 34 Ib., $2.15; Ib., $7.50, postpaid. 
335—RUTGERS (Certified). A recent develop- 
ment of the New Jersey Agricultural Experi- 
ment Station. Fruits medium large, similar in 
shape to Marglobe, but slightly more flattened. 
Highly recommended as a green wrap shipper 
and all-purpose variety. Pkt., 10c; 0z., 60c; %4 
Ib., $1.85; Ib., $6.50, postpaid.
