Drought-Proof Pea 
“Could not help to show the apprecia¬ 
tion and results obtained from our recent 
order, especially the grand peas, grown 
without rain; surely wonderful, and pro¬ 
lific no word for it. ,, — F. W. Freer, 
Ashland, Ohio. 
Peas Continue to Bear 
6 Months After Planting 
“Approximately a year ago I sent to your 
company a very small order for a few pack¬ 
ages of seeds, among which was an order for 
Burgess’ Drought-Proof Peas, your catalog 
stating they ‘Laugh at Drought, Smile at 
Rain.’ 
“I just have a small garden in Tulare, Cali¬ 
fornia, but I will send you a picture under 
separate cover, showing you the result of the 
peas ‘Many Smiles and Lots of Laughs/ as we 
have very little rain in the San Joaquin 
Valley. However, our neighbors enjoyed see¬ 
ing our peas grow. We put them in last 
October, and to our surprise, we were able to 
show our neighbors peas in bloom about the 
latter part of January, and at present we can 
give them an occasional Sunday treat of fresh 
green peas. I could write you a book about 
the peas, but won’t.”— Sherman Rogers, 
M. D., Tulare, California.

Pea see page 29.

Get Rid of Dandelions 
Without Killing Grass 
“Inclosed find check for $2.00 in pay¬ 
ment for two bottles of Weed-Tox. I 
have used the bottle you sent me and it 
is a sure weed killer. We have a rather 
large lawn and the new dandelions keep 
coming; but where we picked about a 
peck of blossoms each day, we now pick 
about 5 or 6 blossoms each morning. 
You are going to get some more orders 
through my ordering my first.”—J. 
Britton, Cody, Wyoming.

Pride of Yukon 
Pride of Yukon 
Ripe W atermelons in 65 Days 
Earliest Watermelon Grotvn and Absolutely 
W ilt'Resistant 
Not only is the Pride of Yukon the earliest 
Watermelon known, but it is unsurpassed for 
sweetness and quality; entirely free from string¬ 
iness and fairly melts in your mouth. Fruits 
are of attractive appearance; medium in size, 
seldom exceed 18 to 20 pounds in weight, aver¬ 
aging 10 to 15 pounds; flesh bright scarlet. 
Hardy, vigorous and remarkably productive. 
The best for extra early planting, especially 
adapted to Northern localities where the season 
is short, but does well in all sections of the coun¬ 
try and has created a sensation wherever grown. 
While it is not an extra good shipper, it is a 
wonderful melon for the home garden and a 
gold mine for the market gardener.
