MY FIRST ADVERTISEMENT 



When I first came to California I 

 brought with me a few specimens of 

 the Burhank potato. These were mul- 

 tiplied for two or three seasons, and 

 then offered for sale ''for trial on this 

 coast." The success of the "triaV is 

 evident in the fact that whole regions 

 of California and Oregon are now 

 given over to the exclusive growing 

 of the Burhank potato, millions and 

 millions of bushels each season.
