The Earliest Tomato in the World — The "Burbank" 
By far 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 season, some- 
thing probably never before 
known. This extreme earliness 
means millions of dollars to 
American tomato growers, as 
one-half the tomatoes grown in 
the United States, even in Cali- 
fornia, are taken by frost instead 
of by the grower. 
Fruit, bright crimson; thick, 
solid, heavy, smooth, firm, me- 
dium to large in size, superior 
quality, unusually heavy and con- 
tinuous bearer throughout the 
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 peels freely from 
the rich, firm flesh. 
Burbank Tomato seed can be offered in packets only this season, as the great 
canning companies of America, having tested it, have ordered the last ounce, and 
are ordering 1919 selection by the hundred pounds for their 1920 crops. BURBANK 
TOMATO SEED, 1918 SELECTION, IN PACKETS ONLY. Per packet of 100 seeds, 
25c; three for 60c; ten, $1.75. 
Hundred pound orders for 1919 selection crop can be sent in now and will be 
filled in rotation. Prices on application. 
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.
