BURBANK'S 1919 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
Canteloupe — "Melting' ' 
Productive, large, oval, heavily netted; thick, sweet, delicious flesh. None better. 
Packet, 15c; three, 30c. 
Cucumber — Small Gherkin 
Used when young for pickling only. Very productive. Packet, 10c; ounce, 20c. 
Parsnip 
A most carefully selected strain of the smooth, sweet "Hollow Crown." The 
best of all. Packet, 10c; ounce, 30c. 
Would also call special attention to my "Quality," the finest of all the new 
wheats; "Avalanche" white oats, and "Royal" walnuts. Special circulars describ- 
ing these if desired. 
Thornless Fruiting and Forage Cactus Seed 
After eighteen years' work on these very interesting plants, I can now offer 
seeds of the latest and best fruiting and forage varieties. These seeds are from 
the highest bred and best kinds in existence, and can be raised in a window-box, 
warm room or out of doors in mild climates. A certain proportion will be partially 
thorny, others smooth and thornless. Superior types will certainly be produced 
from this seed. Not hardy where ice forms over one inch thick, but very inter- 
esting to grow. Cactus seed requires several months to germinate. 
Packet, 20c; ounce, 75c. 
Flower Seed Department 
Antirrhinum (Snapdragon) 
The new dwarf large flowering Snapdragons are becoming the popular flower 
both for the garden and for cutting. We offer this season a splendid strain in 
various brilliant colors. "Daphne" — soft blush pink; "Defiance" — orange red; 
"Golden Queen" — yellow; "Mont Blanc" — white; "Rose Queen" — rose color; 
"Amber Queen" — beautiful amber; "Rosy Morn" — pale rose, and many others. 
All the above mixed, packet, 10c; three, 25c. 
Agapanthus (Lily of the Nile) 
Until quite lately only a small blue Agapanthus was known. I now offer for the 
first time seed which grows very readily, of one of the most beautiful and perma- 
nent of all decorative plants. 
A new gigantic pure white Agapanthus, bearing immense heads of snow-white 
flowers on strong stems, nearly four feet in height. The flowers last for months 
and have a most unusual decorative value. A distinct new florists' flower which 
will become popular everywhere. This is quite hardy throughout most of Cali- 
fornia and may be grown in tubs in the cold eastern states. Packet, 25c; ounce, $3. 
Aquilegia — New Flybrids 
This favorite flower has lately been greatly improved in variety and combina- 
tion of colors, including yellow, red, orange, rose, blue, purple, cerise, white, 
salmon, and mauve. Graceful, hardy, and easily grown. Packet, 15c; three, 40c.
