A New Household Fruit of Great Value. 



Garden Huckleberry. A new fruit from Wash- 

 ington State, and most desirable introduction of late 

 years; will out-yield any other berry grown. Grows 

 from seed and ripens its crop same year. Berries jet 

 black, four times the size of Huckleberries ; for pies or 

 jams it is the equal of any other fruit grown. Plant 

 same as tomato, in box or pan, and, when danger of 

 frost is over, set out 4x6 feet. When jet black, stew 

 thirty minutes: make very sweet. Better than wild 

 huckleberries for pies, jams, jellies, sauce and 

 canning. This new fruit is insect proof. A 

 light frost improves the fruit. This fruit can 

 be kept fresh for winter use or market. For 

 winter use pull up the vines just before frost, 

 or after the first frost, stack away where they 

 will not freeze, and delicious fresh fruit can be 

 picked all winter, as they will not rot and will 

 keep fresh and nice for months.

Luther Burbank's *' Never fading'* Flower, 



A half hardy annual lately discovered in "West Central Aus- 

 tralia. This surprisingly unique and beautiful plant grows 

 readily from seed in any ordinary garden soil. The fragrant 

 flowers, of peculiarly pleasing rosy crimson shade, some- 

 times approaching pure white, are produced in graceful 

 clusters which, when cut, will retain their form and color per- 

 manently, no other flower in any way equaling it in grace and 

 keeping qualities. Full grown plants are about one foot high 

 and the same across. Sow early in the open ground, or may 

 be started early in the house and transplanted. In that case, 

 however, the ball of earth should not be disturbed. We have 

 had clusters of the blossoms which have remained unchanged 

 for a year. 



Packet, 25 seeds, 10c. 



The seed we offer was grown by Mr. Burbank under his 

 own personal supervision.
