SUNBERRY — the Improved Wonderberry 



LUTHER BURBANK'S GREATEST CREATION. A Luscious Berry Ripening in Three Months From Seed 

 SEED 20 CTS. PER PKT. 3 PKTS. FOR 50 CTS. POSTPAID 



This is positively the GREATEST new Fruit and the best NOVELTY of modern times. These are facts 

 which no one can get away from. The proofs are overwhelming in number and conclusive in character. Grown 

 last year by 350,000 people. 



Fruit blue-black like an enormous rich blueberry in looks and taste. Unsurpassed for eating raw, cooked, canned or pre- 

 served in any form. This great garden fruit is equally valuable in hot, dry, cold or wet climates. Easiest plant in the 

 world to grow, succeeding anywhere and yielding great masses of rich fruit all summer and fall. The greatest boon to the 

 family garden ever known. Leaves and branches are also used for greens and are superb. Everybody can and will grow it. 



Luther Burbank of California, the world-famous plant wizard, originated the Wonderberry and turned it over to me to 

 introduce. He says of it: "This absolutely new berry plant is of great interest and value as it bears_the most delicious, wholesome 

 and healthful berries in utmost profusion and always comes true from seed." 



READ my Catalogue for full description, culture, uses, etc. Also scores of testimonials from well-known and reputable 

 people all over the country. Read the "Crime of the Wonderberry." 



The SUXBERRY is an improved form of the Wonderberry which proved so satisfactory last year. It is greatly superior to 

 the original type, and I alone have genuine seed. 



SEED'20c. per pkt.; 3 pkts. for 50c; 7 for $1.00. Agents Wanted, $12,000 in cash offers. 



With every packet of seed I send a booklet giving 99 Receipts for using the fruit, raw, cooked, canned, preserved, jellied, 

 spiced, pickled, jams, syrup, greens, etc. It is superior for any of these uses. Also a copy of my 152-page Catalogue with
