B URBAN K'S 1919 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
Terre Haute, Indiana, Aug. 27, 1918. So far as we have been able to determine 
from the small quantity of seed we had this season, the "Burbank" Tomato is so 
far ahead of anything we have ever tried that there is absolutely no comparison 
between it and other varieties. C. L. (President L. Packing Co.) 
"I had in my garden last season three early tomatoes. Two of them I received 
from the two foremost seedsmen in America; one was a Burbank creation, which 
ripened its first fruit thirty-three days ahead of the others. A thousand dollars 
per ounce would be cheap for such seed." N. C. 
Watsonville, Cal., Nov. 13, 1918. Your tomato ripened a month earlier this season 
than our other varieties and is of better quality and did not rot as other varieties 
have done this season. C. H. H. 
Columbus, Ohio, Oct., 1918. I have tested practically all tomatoes. The "Bur- 
bank" is with us three weeks earlier than the earliest. It is the best of all tomatoes. 
E. J. M. 
Terre Haute, Ind., Nov. 12, 1918. We are much pleased to get the full amount 
ordered, as we are expecting great results from this seed. We tried it out on a 
small scale this season and results were such that we have the greatest confidence 
in it. The writer had twelve plants from "Burbank" seed set out in his home 
garden where they could be carefully watched, and in an experience of forty 
years in the tomato business has never seen anything approaching the crop yield, 
character of fruit and flavor that we got from your tomatoes. From the twelve 
plants set out in the home garden we gathered ten bushels of tomatoes, and when 
the frost finally got them the vines were loaded with large and small green fruit 
and full of bloom. We will be glad of the opportunity to try this variety out on an 
extensive scale next season and if it proves all that we hope for from this past 
season's test we will want a contract with you for a full supply for the 1920 crop. 
C. L. (Pres. L. Packing Co.) 
Etna Mills, Cal., Jan. 14, 1918. I tried your "Burbank" Tomatoes last year and 
found them the best early tomato variety I ever raised. Practically all the tomatoes 
got ripe — something unusual in this high altitude. L. J. 
Puyallup, Wash., Aug. 26, 1917. I am trying out seed of the "Burbank" Tomato 
that I received from you, against five different varieties from different parts of the 
United States, and find the "Burbank" ahead of all of them. F. S. M. 
Worthington, Minn., Oct. 4, 1918. With the "Burbank" Tomato this Spring we 
are much pleased. Compared with the "Earliana" from selected seed, the "Bur- 
bank" is ten days earlier, the fruit more perfect in form, 20 per cent heavier in 
weight for the same size by exact measurement, and a better fruit in every way. 
R. H. T. 
Napa, Cal., July 11, 1918. I had ripe tomatoes from my "Burbank" plants just 
about a month earlier than any I have ever grown in my garden in twenty-five 
y ears - D. J. B. 
Gloversville, N. Y., May 19, 1918. Perhaps you would be interested to know that 
the "Burbank" Tomato seeds which I bought of you last year are creating quite 
a sensation among growers of garden vegetables in this section. Many persons 
who had already planted their tomatoes have replaced them with your early 
variety. It is by far the earliest plant in this section and is a great improvement 
on the other so-called early varieties, as it continues to fruit after the early season 
until frost - W. D. P. (F. J. & G. R. R. Co.) 
Larimore, N. D., Oct. 9, 1918. Clarence Wedge, who conducts the "Orchard and 
Garden" section of "The Farmer," states that your new tomato is the best of all 
tomatoes. w L Q 
Toronto, Canada, Oct. 20, 1918. Doctor Davidson was telling me he considered 
the "Burbank" Tomato superior to "Earliana," "Chalk's Jewel," or "Bonny Best" 
in every way. A ^ p
