BURBANK'S 1919 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
seed stalks, which I find the other chard does. If you have seeds of other plants 
which will produce a large lot of greens for chickens and will not seed quickly, 
let me know. W. R. 
Ottumwa, Iowa, Jan. 13, 1919. I want to commend the Swiss Chard Beet for 
greens. We think it is equal to spinach and it is the only greens that I can state 
I really like. A. T. G. 
Central Point, Ore., Jan. 11, 1919. We are enjoying our chard very much, p ^ I 
Common Swiss Chard Beet 
Valuable for poultry, producing a large lot of green feed in the shortest time. 
Ounce, 10c; pound, $1; per 100 lbs., not prepaid, special rate. 
The New Sweet Hubbard Squash 
When the Hubbard Squash was first introduced 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. 
Ashley, Mont., Dec. 5, 1918. Your squash, tomatoes, sunberries, cucumbers, and 
chard do much better here than any I have raised before. V. L. 
Elmhurst, Cal., Dec. 21, 1918. The Hubbard Squash you sent me last Summer 
certainly turned out fine, and also the White Sunflower seed. My chickens just 
seem to eat this seed in preference to anything else. I will plant considerable this 
coming spring. J. B. W. 
New Chilian Celery 
Celery seed is coming more and more into use owing to its fine flavoring quali- 
ties. This new perennial celery produces a great amount of seed with exactly 
the ordinary celery flavor, and can be produced 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. ?) 
A new plant lately discovered in Central Brazil; greatly prized by the native 
Indians; one foot high, of surpassing sweet fragrance which lasts for years. May 
well take its place with lavender, though wholly different; now first offered. 
Packet, 20c; three, 50c. 
Potato Seed 
One of the most interesting of all garden pursuits is the growing of Potato seed- 
lings, especially as a new prize potato may be produced by any one, whether 
skilled or not. The seed which I offer is from the very best English, Scotch, Nor- 
wegian, Swedish, German, North and South American 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. 
A New Asparagus — "Quality" 
A most supremely delicious variety. Produces large, sweet, white stalks. Espe- 
cially valued for home use. Packet, 20c; three, 50c; ounce, 85c. 
Orache or Mountain Spinach 
Nearly as good and as hardy as the common spinach. About four or five times 
as productive, and can be grown at one-fourth the care and expense. You will be 
pleased with this superior vegetable. Packet, 10c; ounce, 30c.
