1920 NEW CREATIONS 
IN SEEDS 
We have this year added a few testimonials as to the Value of our productions, 
TEN THOUSAND PAGES could be thus filled but 
these few samples will be appreciated

The Earliest Tomato in the World — The Burbank f^i' the earliest 
^ „ , smoothest, largest, 
most productive, and best of all early tomatoes; resists wilt and other tomato 
diseases better than most others. The "Burbank" is so much earlier than other 
tomatoes that from the seed of the tomatoes which ripened here in June, a second 
crop has been again and again 
grown and ripened the same sea- 
son, something probably never 
before known. This extreme 
earliness means millions of dol- 
lars to American tomato growers, 
as one-half the tomatoes grown 
in the United States, even in 
California, are taken by frost in- 
stead of by the grower. 
Fruit, bright crimson; thick, 
solid, heavy, smooth, firm, me- 
dium to large in size, superior 
giialitu, uniisiicdlij heavy and con- 
tinuous bearer throughout t h e 
season; best keeper and shipper. 
The "Burbank" has one other 
unique and most remarkable 
quality which will be appreci- 
ated by those who like fresh 
sliced tomatoes for the table. 
Unlike other tomatoes, the skin 
BURBANK TOMATO /^<^<^'« freely from the rich, firm 
flesh. 
Last season American, European and Australian canners, market gardeners and 
seed growers, having tested its merits the year before, ordered the last ounce of 
seed so that it could only be offered by the packet, and have now ordered for their 
1920 crop. This season I can furnish seed of the greatly improved 1919 selection 
by the pound and hundred pounds. 
1919 selection. Packet of 100 seeds, 25c; three for 60c; ten, $1.50. Per ounce, 
$1.75; pound, $18; ten to 100 pounds, $15 per pound. Larger lots at special rates. 
Tomatoes form on the "Burbank" when the plants are very small. It is well to 
pick off the first cluster of blooms, thus giving the plants a good start for heavy 
crops. Plant deep; set the plants deep in the field or garden for heavy and con- 
tinuous crop. 
I have added a few sample 1919 opinions of growers from Nova Scotia to Texas, 
from Maine to California, and from sea level to nearly a mile in altitude only to 
fully verify the fact that the "BURBANK" Tomato is not only the earliest tomato 
in the world, but also the best.
