B URBAN ICS 1920 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
asparagus, which excelled in flavor all others known. In the passing years since, 
even this has been greatly improved and I now for the first time offer this, the 
best asparagus ever grovvn. "Qiialilij" produces very large, sweet, light-colored 
stalks which will be a delight to all who grow or use it. You will find that it is 
"not like other asparagus." Packet, 25c; ounce, $1.50. 
A New Sweet Canning Pea — "The Model" Several years ago I was re- 
quested by a well known 
packing house to produce a new pea, as those in use had so many faults that the 
growers \yere discouraged. The ideal pea to be produced must be small like the 
"Petit Pois" of France and of uniform size; must be sweet and the crop must 
be in best condition all at one time so that the product could be gathered by 
machinery. It must also be productive. I contracted to make this pea in six 
years. At the end of three years the ideal pea was ready. "Burbank Peas" can 
now be obtained of all dealers in first class goods. 
Lately I have produced another similar one, but better and more productive, in 
fact the most productive of all peas grown here. Though not as large as some, its 
enormous productiveness and other good cpialities merit your careful attention. 
Packet, 15c; ounce, 30c; pound, $2. 
The New Sweet Hubbard Squash When the Hubbard Squash was first in- 
troduced it was as sweet as a good 
sweet potato, but it has been allowed to run wholesale mongrel until it has lost 
much of this peculiar quality. The New Sweet Hubbard is uniformly as sweet as 
the original when first introduced fifty-six years ago. Very productive and 
uniform. Packet, 15c; ounce, 30c. 
Asiii.BY, Mont. — Your squash, tomatoes, sunljcrrics, cucunibci's, and chard do much better 
here than any 1 have raised before. V. L. 
Elmhurst, Cai.. — The Iluliliard Squash you sent me last Summer certainly turned out fine, and 
also the AN'hilc Sunflower seed. My chickens just seem to eat this seed in iirerercncc to any- 
thing else. I will plant consiik'rablc this coming spring. J. B. W. 
New Chilian Celery Celery seed is coming more and more into use owing to 
its fine flavoring qualities. This new perennial celery 
produces a great amount of seed with exactly the ordinary celery flavor, and 
can be prochiccd at about one-tenth the expense. The seeds also carry a much 
larger content of the essential oil of celery. Why grow the old kind for flavoring? 
Packet, 15c. 
Brazilian Perfume (Origanum Sp.?) ;^ "^w plant lately discovered in 
«- X (central Brazil; greatly prized by the 
native Indians who use it for coughs, colds, etc.; one foot high, of surpassing 
sweet fragrance which lasts for years. May well take its place with lavender, 
though wholly different. Packet, 20c; three, 50c. 
Potato Seed ^^^^ most interesting of all garden pursuits is the growing 
of Potato seedlings, especially as a new prize potato may be pro- 
duced by any one, whether skilled or not. The seed which I offer is from the 
very best English, Scotch, Norwegian, Swedish, German, North and South Ameri- 
can varieties. Maine, California, New Mexico, Washington, and Oregon seed is 
included in this remarkably varied and superior lot of seed. Seedlings of all 
forms, sizes, qualities, and colors will be obtained. Directions for growing are 
printed on each packet of seed. 
Packet, 15c; two, 25c; ten, $1. 
New Ciiant Chives '^^^^ common, well-known chives, a small onion-like plant, 
is hardy even in Alaska and a small plot will supply a 
family throughout the year. The tops arc used for flavoring soups, salads, etc. 
Their delicate onion flavor is prized by those who know them. The Giant Chive, 
which lately originated on my grounds, is a wonderful improvement on all those 
ever before grown. It is also a handsome low border plant. 
Packet, 20c; three, 50c; ounce, $2. 
Orache or Mountain Spinach Nearly as good and as hardy as the common 
spinach. About four or live times as pro- 
(hiclivc, and can be grown at one-fourth the care and expense. You will be 
pleased with this vegetable. Packet, 10c; ounce, 30c.
