belore oUicr varieties on tlic Pacific Coast, but had no idea tluit in the latitude ol' Michigan 
there could J>e any sucli variation. 1 desire to try tliem out again this summer. Du. 1'. N. W. 
Rochester, Pa., Jan. 25, 1919. — I want to say that I firmly believe that you have named the 
"Burhank" tomato exactly right. Last year I had seed of niy own raising and the seed started 
in the factory greenhouse the same day with lour other varieties and the plants all set in the 
garden the same day and it was the "'earliest," riiiening just thirty-seven days hel'ore any one 
of the other varieties. G. W. F. 
Watsonville, Cai.i)'., Dec. 29, 1919. — Your tomatoes ripened one month earlier than other 
varieties and people i^refer them to any of the others. C. H. H. 
RosEBURG, Ore., Oct. 29, 1919. — Your "Burbank" earliest tomato that I tested in Rhode Island 
was the best of one hundred varieties that I tested there. Of 2,000 tomatoes that I planted in 
Rhode Island this year, 1,900 of them were your earliest, which shows what 1 think of them. 
C. H. N. 
Edmundston, Neav Brunswick, April 18, 1919. — Though our season is short I find that your 
seeds produce the surest crop of ripe tomatoes of any plants in my garden. The "Burbank" 
tomato is the only one that I have found at all satisfactory in this place. A. L. 
Roxbury, Mass., March 17, 1919. — I raised 14 bushels of tomatoes from one-half packet of your 
"Burbank" tomato seed last year. F. F. 
PoMEROY, Wash., Feb. 19, 1919. — I have been raising different varieties of tomatoes for Hfty 
years and the "Burbank" tomato is by far the best tomato I ever raised. I had twenty plants 
last year planted late and they were full of tomatoes and at fruiting time I did not have teu 
pounds of tomatoes that did not ripen. T. F. B. 
London, Ont., Canada, Feb. 12, 1919. — Last year several of the gardeners here sent for your 
"Burbank" tomato seed. I received six plants from them. As for a cropper, the like was never 
seen in these ijarts before and one of the gardeners took first prize with them at the gardeners' 
show. H. o. H. 
Jackson, Cat,., Feb. 11, 1919. — The "Burbank" tomato is very prolific and early and what I 
liked about it was that it was so sweet. Mrs. J. F. 
Long Island, New York. — The earliest, best medium size, most perfect in shape and color, the 
the least vine, the most fruit, the longest in bearing, the least acid, the sweetest tomato, and in 
every respect the best for home and market. J. L. C. 
Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 15, 1919. — We have tried your "Burbank," earliest of all tomatoes, 
and find that it is all you claim for it; we will want to feature it in our 1921 catalogue. Or, 
would you liave enough seed to supply us for this year's catalogue? A. & M. Seed Co. 
Battrick, Mont., March 20, 1919. — Must mention your "Burbank" tomatoes. We are very 
highly pleased with them. Last year was our first year to have ripe tomatoes and we were 
the only ones in the entire community. F. E. A. 
BoviNA, Texas, March 6, 1919.— Last season I had planted the "Burbank" tomato and another 
tomato of a reliable seedsman, but yours surpassed the latter in earliness and llavor. 
L. F. A. 
Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 10, 1919. — ^Just a note to let you know what I think of the "Burbank" 
tomato in Minnesota; the plants that I handled in the ordinary hotbed were a good ten days ahead 
of anything else I saw or heard of in this locality; those that I potted and started in the house 
were three weeks ahead of those produced by our local gardeners. R. M. E. 
Germantown, Ohio, March 3, 1919. — I enclose two dollars for more "Burbank" tomato seed — 
the best tomato ever grown in this section. F. R. 
LoiMPOc, Calif., Dec. 28, 1919. — I got some early tomatoes from you a few years ago that were 
the best I ever saw. Mrs. McD. 
Grass Valley, Calif., April 10, 1919. — I would like to get some tomato seed the name of 
which I do not know, but they are an extra early variety. Had a few plants given me last year 
and though grown later than others they bore fruit from three to four weeks earlier. J. H. H. 
After trying many varieties of tomatoes for sale to the local market, C. H. Hughes of Santa Cruz 
County has discarded all but the "Burbank" and the "San Jose Canner." Tlie latter is a good, well- 
meated variety, but the "Burbank" has considerably the best llavor, the most sweetness, and 
general good (lualities of all the varieties tried. Towards the end of the 1919 season he surprised 
the store people who handle his tomatoes by showing that they had sold twice as many as 
they did last year. — liaral Press. 
Maitland, Nova Scotia, Oct. 4, 1919. — Your "Burbank" tomato did well here and is the best 
ever known in tlicse parts, and that is saying a lot considering the climate we have here. 
W. P. H. 
Sturgis, S. Feb. 12, 1919. — Your "Burbank" seed which I got from you last year was fine. 
I believe it is the liest tomato I have gotten hold of for this altitude — 3400 above sea level. 
L. H. G. 
MoAB, Wash., Feb. 14, 1919. — The tomatoes were a month earlier tlian I ever raised in my 
garden in this country; the smoothest and best I ever raised. Capt. F. H. M. 
Kingman, Ariz., Jan. 20, 1919. — We tried the "Burbank" tomato last year and found it the 
earliest and, taking the whole season through, the most prolific tomato yet tried. H. H. W. 
Watsonvili.e, Cal., Nov. 13. — Your tomato ripened a montli earlier this season than our other 
varieties and is of bettor quality and did not rot as other varieties have done this season. 
C. H. H. 
Maza, N. D., Sept. 3. — I am happy to relate that your tomatoes are a iiugc success. Tliey are the 
wonder, adiiiiiation and envy of the whole community, as I am the only one wlio lias attained to 
ripe tomatoes this year. They are large and of a beautiful shape. I count the "Burbank" tomato 
tlie liest new thing you have discovered in a number of years. Miss N. J. K.
