THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



207 



The Burbank garden consists of Luther Burbank's selection 

 of 12 varieties of his own original seeds which consist of 



Burbank Shirley Poppies 



These are the most beautiful poppies of all. No other flowers 

 will produce such an array of gorgeous colors. The variety 

 of shades is very wide, extremely dainty and beautiful. The 

 foliage is soft and feathery while the petals remind one of silky 

 crepe paper. The most easily grown of aM poppies and carries 

 the most satisfaction to the amateur. Ijoml: Season Sweet Pens. 

 The most unique flower and something which is entirely dif- 

 ferent from anything ever grown. The Burbank Morning Glory. 

 Mr. Burbank has developed a most wonderful flower in this 

 and one which anyone will derive great pleasure from having 

 in his garden, (jigrnntic Evening Primrose. One single petal 

 is as large as the whole flower of most other varieties: Blos- 

 soms are pure white and sometimes nearly a foot and a half 

 in circumference, perfectly regular and flat. Produces a wealth 

 of enormous blossoms and continues blossoming for months 

 in succession. Kninbow Corn. Something entirely new and 

 very desirable for any garden. It blooms from early Spring 

 until the heavy frosts come in the Autumn. Gigantic Zinnia. 

 A huge chrysanthemum-like flower blooming continuously 

 throughout the summer, until late Autumn. It is three or 

 four times as large as the original zinnia and has a most bril- 

 liant array of colors in quaint shadings of scarlet, pink, 

 salmon, yellow, white and bronze. There are six others of 

 equal merit. Be sure and get a §i.oo Burbank garden. Send 

 to-day, if your local dealer does not keep it.
