BUEBANK'S 1921 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
Hii.LSBORO, New Mexico, Nov. 12, 1919. — The Burbank "Quality" wheat yielded a wonderful crop 
ol smutless, plump, hard wheat; the cleanest-looking sacks 1 ever saw and the best d bread 
1 ever ate. II' you had never done any other thing, you would live forever. J. A. 
Hamel, West Australia, Sept. 12, 1919. — Just a line regarding your new "Quality" wheat sown 
here 26th day of May. It is now fully headed, early, and very promising for culture in the drier 
parts of this state. G. G. B. 
Parkdale, Ore., Nov. 1, 1919. — On my raw land just cleared up, from one-half pound of your 
new wheat "Quality," I threshed out twenty-four pounds, or about the rate of seventy-live bushels 
to the acre. j. ^. 
California, Ky., March 4, 1919. — The one-half pound of "Burbank" wheat I ordered of you in 
tlie Fall of 1917 produced 42 M- pounds of wheat, which I planted last Fall and it looks fine. 
I hat was the most wonderful turnout I ever heard of in this part of the country. E. B. T. 
Methven, Canterbury, N. Z., June 16, 1919. — I received both samples of wheat and oats in good 
order, also the wonderful head of oats which the farmers here call a marvel, for which I thank 
you. I sowed about len ounces of the "Wizard" wheat last season and got in return 120 pounds 
of good sound wheat. I have planted for this season three acres of "Wizard" wheat; have exhi- 
bited the heads of wheat far and Avide and they are pronounced wonderful. I got an average 
of ten heads to every grain I sowed, and every head had 77 grains of good wheat. Three of the 
heads are on exhibition in the Department of Agriculture at Christchurch. We had wonderful 
?cJ?7- ■^^'^cat last season here in patches, up to 100 bushels per acre, but at the rate the 
Wizard wheat turned out, it would run about 180 bushels to the acre, which is a record for 
the world. I have three acres planted this season. A. McK. 
Oklahoma City, Okla., Oct. 23.— On the 24th and 25th of February, 1919, I planted the "Quality" 
Wheat in drills. This was a month after the oats were sown in this country and the hard wheat 
was virtually covering the ground. This wheat was cut from three to seven days before any of 
the otlier wheat m the country was cut, showing its extreme earliness over the other wheat, and 
another proposition that took everybody's eye that had seen it was the strong vigorous straw with 
a hue loliage and not a sign of rust where all of our wheat this year was covered with rust. I 
have been oITered good prices for part of the wheat but I have put it out in small patches dis- 
trihuted around over the state as far as I possibly can to learn the value of this wonderful grain, 
and there is no doubt in my mind but that it is the coming wheat for Oklahoma.

Kelowna, B. C, July 30, 1919. — I enclose sample of "Quality" Wheat grown from seed supplied 
by you to my partner and myself last Fall. We got five pounds of this seed and sowed about 
mree and one-half pounds on something like one-tenth of an acre in the middle of October, 1918. 
It was cut on the 28tli day of July and looks like a sixty bushel per acre crop at least. Last 
winter was a bad one for wheat. Very little snow and alternate frosts and thaws. Twice the leaf 
clisappeared altogether. It is marvelous how it stooled out. We counted several stools Avith 
twenty-three straws from one seed. Nowhere could Ave find a stool Avith less than eight, and 
tne average would be from tAvelve to fifteen. We Avould be obliged to you for letting us knoAV 
Avnat you think ol the sample. Please send your catalogue of new Avheats as soon as ready. If 
you have anything better than "Quality" Ave Avould like to see it. J. C. B. H. 
Granada, Cal., June 14, 1919. — It docs me good to see AA'hat a Avonderful groAvth the wheat which 
1 nought Irom you m August, 1917, has made. I planted it after corn as you advised and all of 
tnose Avho have seen it say it is the best they have ever seen. Everything I raised from your 
grounds has grown Avell. jo ^ 
«r?"f-i"^r,' Jn^^''^' August 5, 1919.— Enclosed please find $23 in exchange for five pounds of your 
Uuality V\ heat I Avant to get a Avinter Avheat of your breeding such as I saAv on Mr. W. L. V.'s 
larm at Moline the last of May. It Avas the best Avheat that I ever saw groAving. Not only that, 
rnilP ^^''g'^tcd heads. Your "Quality" Wheat certainly has them all sitting in the back 
row Avhen it comes to milling, quality and yield. M. B. B. 
Marshall, Texas, June 1, 1919.— On May 24th I harvested a nice little crop of "Ouality" Wheat 
planted in checks 6 inches by 10 inches December 1, 1918, from pound purchased of vou. It 
seems to mature ahead of the rust, Avheat's great enemy here, and is exciting considerable local 
interest. * * Such success as I will oAve to your name I am willing to pay you a iust 
royalty for, but your Avheats, Mr. Burbank, commend themselves. B. L. 
Las Cruces, N. M., June 1, 1919.— In 1917 I purchased five pounds of your "Super" Wheat, 
and from three pounds harvested 360 pounds of seed. About November 15th we planted seven 
acres, torty pounds to the acre. Part of the land Avas in very poor condition from the heavy sod 
ot water grass, and aviII not yield more than 30 bushels, but the better land Avill yield sixty 
bushels or more if it matures. Many visit here every day and it is attracting a great deal of 
attention throughout the valley. The Project manager was here yesterday and pronounced this 
tne best held of Avheat he had seen in his life and Avill return soon to take pictures of it.

McHenrv, N. D., Feb. 19, 1920.— The "Quality" Wheat I got from you last year did wonderfully. 
ii P "31^", Block Choir," "Durham" and "Marquis" the same time I did the "Quality," and 
the Quality ' Avas the only variety that matured, and gave a very good return, Avhile the other 
three varieties Avere so badly rusted they never produced a kernel. I think your Avheat Avill be 
tire only Avheat raised here in a fcAV years. H. G. 
Engleburg, Colo., July 20, 1920.— This Fall I Avill have some interesting data to submit in the 
culture of Mr. Burbank's "Quality" Wheat, Avhich I have been testing out for Iaa^o seasons past. 
I consider it the most wonderful wheat in existence. W. S. B., M.D. 
A New Beardless Hull-less Barley— "The Pearl" The old well-known 
Nepaul beardless null- 
less barley was the best for hay, yielding a large crop in the shortest time. The 
grain, however, was of all sizes, shapes and colors; very far from a perfect one. 
After a number of years of most rigid, careful selection, kernel by kernel, head 
by head, plant by plant, row by row, this new WHITE Beardless Hull-less produc- 
tive barley was produced. It will produce a great crop of unusually large, white 
grain of superior weight and quality. There need be no longer the old complaint 
of "black barley bread." "Pearl" is an improved, beardless, hull-less, white bar-
