MY FIRST ADVERTISEMENT 



When I first came to California I 

 brought with me a few specimens of 

 the Burbank potato. These were mul- 

 tiplied for two or three seasons, and 

 then offered for sale "for trial on this 

 coast/' The success of the "trial" is 

 evident in the fact that whole regions 

 of California and Oregon are now 

 given over to the exclusive growing 

 of the Burbank potato, millions and 

 millions of bushels each season.
