BUBBANK'S 1919 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
Perennial Pea 
The Burbank strain of hardy perennial peas raised here for a third of a century 
is not surpassed in abundance and size of flowers, length of stem, or variety of 
shades. A packet of seeds will supply flowers for a score of years. 
Packet, 15c; two, 25c. 
New Bedford, Conn., May 13, 1918. You are most generous, and we are grateful. 
Our garden is rich in plants from "Burbank" seeds of former years, a fence covered 
with your Perennial Peas being the envy of all beholders. Our New England garden 
is a California garden. J. B. Van N. 
Sweet Peas "All Summer" Mixed 
A new strain produced by crossing the dwarf greenhouse varieties with the 
Spencer type. Blooms very early and late. Packet, 10c; ounce, 15c; pound, $1.

Blooms here all Winter. Packet, 10c; ounce, 25c; pound, $2.50. 
SHIRLEY POPPIES 
Burbank Shirley Poppies 
This beautiful strain has been care- 
fully selected each season for more than 
twenty years and is the foundation for 
many of the strains offered by other 
seedsmen. 1918 selection, packet, 10c; 
three, 25c; ounce, $1. 
Shirley Art Poppies 
Burbank's latest production; wonder- 
ful combination shades of salmon, soft 
rose pink and white semi-transparent 
crepe-like flowers. The most elegant 
and beautiful of the whole world's pop- 
pies. Packet, 20c; three, 50c. 
Giant Shirley Poppy 
Crimson shades. A cross of the Shir- 
ley and Tulip poppies. Many of these 
enormous fiery flowers are seven or 
eight inches across; a blaze of colors. 
Packet, 20c; three, 50c. 
A New Poppy — Papaver Californicum 
The Eschscholtzia Calif ornica is almost always called "the California Poppy"; 
it is not a true poppy. The real California poppy is an exceedingly rare plant 
growing in only two places in the world, and is not even mentioned in Cyclopedias 
and Botanies. Years ago I began its improvement and now offer seeds of the 
Orange-cream Poppy, one of the most beautiful of all. Annual, fifteen inches high, 
flowers on long slender stems of a color rarely seen in any flower. 
Packet, 20c; three, 50c. 
A New Everblooming Poppy 
Several years ago I succeeded in crossing the Oriental (perennial) poppy with 
the Pseony flowering (annual) poppy. The result was a strain of single perennial 
everblooming poppies bearing enormous flowers on long stems, of various shades
