The New Burbank Cassaba 
(The Winter Melon — Never before offered) 
Is a winter muskmelon, which is very 
good to eat from September first to Janu- 
ary first. Bipening in the early part of 
the above period. Melon of medium 
size, a roundish oval with a rough skin and 
a very thick, rich, sweet meat with a small 
seed cavity. When ripe it may be picked 
and it will keep from two to three months 
in a cool, dry place, furnishing an excel- 
lent melon through the winter months. 
The Burbank -Cassaba was produced speci- 
ally for sweetness and quality, and is very 
delicious. The Cassaba 's original home is 
in North Africa and Southern Asia. This 
has never before been offered. The Cassa- 
bas are best suited for growth in dry soil 
and, like all melons, an abundant amount 
of fertilizer is a very good encouragement. 
Twenty-five cents the packet. 
The New Burbank Pink Chives 
This new variety has a diversity of 
uses, making a most handsome perennial 
border plant which needs very little at- 
tention. It makes, also, an ideal plant 
for beds. The new Burbank Pink Chives 
are hardy plants, thriving practically 
everywhere, and in addition to their 
ornamental value are very useful as sea- 
soning in soups and the like, similar in 
taste and flavor to a very mild onion. 
In addition to the seasoning purposes, 
the chives are, on account of their abund- 
ance of growth, very useful for poultry 
food. 
These plants are thrifty and green 
throughout the year, and have a very pretty 
little flower. It being somewhat difficult 
to produce chives satisfactorily from seed, 
plants are offered, which insure success 
under adverse conditions. These plants 
are thrifty and well grown. 
Prices, each 50 cents ; per ten, $2.

nial and will climb or make a bush as

Chilian Tomatillo

nial plant somewhat after the mode of 
Solanum Pseudo-capsicum, but with larger 
bright scarlet fruits one-half to three-quar- 
ter inches in diameter. This plant will not 
stand a great amount of cold, although it 
has proven very hardy here where the ther- 
mometer has stood at only 15° above zero.
