PLANT BETTER TREES 
MORE BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS 
BURBANK'S 1919 
OFFERING OF TWENTIETH CENTURY 
Fruits, Flowers and Various 
Economic Plants 
The demand for fruit is increasing much faster than its produc- 
tion. Make the right start by planting the best or none. Most of 
these wonderful new fruits (the best work of forty years, and more 
than a hundred thousand dollars) have never before been offered 
and probably never will be again by me; I now leave that to others. 
They are the best in the world today. You must get them from head- 
quarters now or never. They are placed at far lower prices than new 
fruits of anything like equal value have ever been offered. It is well 
to remember that the fruits which I have been introducing during the 
past thirty years have everywhere become standards of superior 
excellence in all respects and are fast taking the places of the 
best ones which the world had known before. The descriptions 
are all underdrawn, not overdrawn. I have always been very careful 
in this respect and the great number of those who have become 
wealthy by growing them have words of high praise which I have 
never given. I raise and introduce these new fruits at a great finan- 
cial loss to myself. My reward comes only from the wealth and 
satisfaction which they bring to others. 
At this date, November 15th, there have been grown and shipped 
out of the State of California this season ONE MILLION, ninety-two 
thousand, two hundred and fifty-six crates of plums and cherries 
alone of varieties which were created on my own grounds, besides 
one large shipping firm which could not make a variety report. Need 
more be said in regard to the value of my horticultural creations? 
Some SEVEN MILLION BUSHELS of Bur bank Potatoes were also 
grown here this season, and unnumbered carloads of Rhubarb, 
Prunes, and other horticultural products can be added for good 
measure. 
PRICES 
The time and expense involved in the production and introduction 
of these new fruits and flowers have been great, as those acquainted 
with the fads are well aware; it is my aim to place the new varieties 
in the hands of growers as quickly as possible and at as low prices 
as are consistent with sound business, in at least, partially repaying 
for their production and introduction. The expense of properly 
packing a tree or plant for safe delivery to my customers is almost 
as great as that for packing twenty or a hundred. No charges for 
careful packing are made on anything mentioned in this catalogue. 
These trees and plants should generally be sent by express, the 
safest, cheapest, most rapid, most satisfactory way, as freight is sub- 
ject to delays. 
NO AGENTS ANYWHERE. All Business Is Done at Santa Rosa.
