BURBANK'S 1921 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS 
13 
Sudan-Sorghum — A Wonderful New Forage Grass Sudan Grass has 
stockmen and dairymen in Australia and California and fo^nd'' t^lV drought 
resistant and more productive than any grass ever before known. But through a 
natural cross of Sudan and a sweet Sorghum, probably "Amber" Cane, a really 
wonderful grass was produced, which from reliable reports yields 75 tons of 
sweet, nutritious silage per acre. All new hybrids are at first variable and among 
the variations one was found which was greatly superior to all the others. This 
I now offer for the first time. Last summer it averaged on my place 14 feet in 
height and grew as thickly as a canebrake. It is a hardy annual and mav be 
grown with great profit wherever corn can be grown and may be harvested two 
or three times during the season. Cultivate same as Sorghum. You may be sure 
that I know and can appreciate a valuable grass, being the introducer of the well 
known Rhodes' Grass, which I imported direct from Cecil Rhodes' South 
African farm some twenty years ago, soon after he discovered it. Since then I 
have carefully tested more than 400 species of foreign wild grasses and this new 
"Sudan-Sorghum" is the most productive grass so far tested on my farms. 
Packet, 25c; ounce 50c; pound, $3.25. 
A New Sweet Canning Pea "The Model" Several years ago I was re- 
quested by a well known 
packing house to produce a new pea, as those in use had so many faults that the 
growers were discouraged. The ideal pea to be produced must be small like the 
"Petit Pois" of France and of uniform size; must be sweet and the crop must be 
in best condition all at one time so that the product could be gathered by 
machinery. It must also be productive. I contracted to make this pea in six 
years. At the end of three years the ideal pea was ready. "Burbank Peas" can now 
be obtained of all dealers in first class goods. 
Lately I have produced another similar one, but better and more productive, in 
fact the most productive of all peas grown here. Though not as large as some, its 
enormous productiveness and other good qualities merit your careful attention. 
Packet, 15c. 
Potato Seed ^f the most interesting of all garden pursuits is the growing 
of Potato seedlings, especially as a new prize potato may be pro- 
duced by any one, whether skilled or not. The seed which I offer is from the 
very best English, Scotch, Norwegian, Swedish, German, North and South Ameri- 
can 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. 
New Oiant Chives common, well-known chives, a small onion-like plant, 
is hardy even in Alaska and a small plot will supply a 
family throughout the year. The tops are used for flavoring soups, salads, etc. 
Their delicate onion flavor is prized by those who know them. The Giant Chive, 
which lately originated on my grounds, is a wonderful improvement on all those 
ever before grown. It is also a handsome low border plant. 
Packet, 20c; three, 50c; ounce, $2. 
Orache or Mountain Spinach Nearly as good and as hardy as the common 
spinach. About four or five times as pro- 
ductive, and can be grown at one-fourth the care and expense. You will be pleased
