BVRBANK'S 1919 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
of these good qualities it is unequaled by any other cucumber. You will probably 
have more fun raising and eating these cucumbers than anything else in the 
garden. Price per packet, 15c; three packets, 30c; ounce 60c. 
Signal Mountain, Tenn., Sept. 7, 1918. I have enjoyed the flavor of the "Iceland" 
cucumber very much. The flavor is more delicate than any other we have ever 
used. ■ R. C. H. 
Elephant Garlic 
The common garlic is one of the vegetables which always has a steady sale each 
season, and has lately been found to be one of the best prophylactics against many 
diseases, as well as an appetizing addition to various culinary products. The usual 
price is about six cents per pound; this season it is thirty cents. "Wonders never 
cease." I now for the first time offer a new garlic, the "Elephant," which is more 
COMMON GARLIC AND ELEPHANT GARLIC 
than ten times as productive as any other. A single clove of the "Elephant" is as 
large as a whole cluster of the ordinary garlic. Astoundingly productive, thor- 
oughly hardy, easily raised, and exactly like the old garlic except in its enormous 
proportions. Five cloves, 25c; ten, 40c; per hundred, $3; per thousand, $20. 
Improved "Quinoa" (Chenopodium quinoa) 
A Delicious New but Ancient Breakfast Food 
This annual, easily grown plant bears heavily a highly nutritious, extremely 
valuable and greatly prized grain food — a small white seed produced in profusion 
on plants about four feet in height, which is harvested much like other grains. 
Containing as it does about four times as much gluten as the best wheat (40 per 
cent or more) proves chemically its very great nutritive value. The outer husk 
also contains about 17 per cent vegetable potash. Belonging, as "Quinoa" does, 
to the beet-spinach family, the young, tender plants make excellent greens.
