8 How to Judge Novelties — Look to their Source 
The Sugar Prune, though a month earlier, fully four times as productive 
and more than twice the size of the French Prune, has been often condemned 
— one of its worst supposed faults being that it produced too much fruit! 
To-day the tide is rapidly turning in its favor as the growers are realizing its 
value for drying and its unecjualed value for shipping. Eastern retail dealers 
in fancy fruits like it and write that it is the "best of all sellers," and some 
of the wholesale firms have written to growers, "Grow all of Burbank's 
Sugar Prune you can ; too many of them cannot be grown for the Eastern 
market." 
The Shasta Daisy- — a Burbank Creation. 
''A thousand years hence this (tower (Shasta Daisy) or some of its descendants 
will smile in the gardens of the earth and softly speak its maker's name. Ages to 
come and long years after an enraged and overcrowded people have swept to the winds 
the idols of this generation, the Shasta Daisy will bloom on and speak of the tender, 
manly soul who coaxed it into being."— H. S. Garfield, M. D., in Pendleton (Oregon) 
Tribune.
