New “Crimson Giant” Chard 
A cross between the sweet sugar beet and Swiss chard. The leaves are as deeply crimped and pitted 
as a Savoy cabbage. Nothing in the garden can be as easily raised, and no other vegetable produces 
such a large and continuous supply of delicious and healthful succulent food. Very beautiful and 
highly ornamental in the garden. Visitors to my gardens are enthusiastic in their praise of its value 
as an ornamental plant. It is more delicious than the best garden spinach. The leaves of this new 
"Crimson Giant” are of a rich dark green color, often 24 inches long and are crisp and tender. The 
leaf stalks are also very edible, and should be cooked with the leaves. The stalks are rich crimson in 
color, and average 2 feet in length. The plant reminds one of a well-grown rhubarb. The color is 
retained if cooked over a quick fire about twenty minutes. 5 0c per packet; $2.5 0 an ounce. Special 
quotations on request to large growers for cannery purposes. 
NEW RHUBARB "Giant Hybrid”—Largest stalks 
and leaves of any known variety. Possesses a 
rich berry flavor and is a great improvement 
over older varieties. Sweetest of all rhubarbs; 
requires but half the amount of sugar gener¬ 
ally used in cooking other varieties. Stalks 1 \z 
inch thick and 2-3 ft. long. Divisions 5 0c each; 
10 for $3.50. 
NEW ASPARAGUS "QUALITY”—All growers 
are unanimous in their praise of this tender 
deliciously flavored, productive asparagus. By 
all means the finest variety ever offered to home 
gardeners. Pkt., 25c; ounce, 75c; pound,$8.00. 
BURBANK TOMATO—Fruit crimson red; med¬ 
ium size with thick solid meat. It is an un¬ 
usually heavy and continuous bearer. This 
tomato has one highly convenient quality in 
that the skin peels freely from the rich firm 
flesh. The finest tomato in quality I have ever 
tasted. Pkts., 20c; 3 for 5 0c; $1.00 per ounce. 
Earliest of all tomatoes.
