Artichoke Hybrids 



This is an Individual blossom of one of Mr. Bnrbank's 

 best hybrid varieties of artichoke. The flowerhead has just 

 passed the period when it would have been in ideal condition for eat- 

 ing, but has not yet fully presented its stamens and pistils. 

 The improvement shown in some of these crossbred arti- 

 chokes in Mr. Burbank's garden is remarkable; and 

 they are still undergoing development.
