MISS MARY E. MARTIN, FLORAL PARK, NEW YORK. 
A New Household Fruit of Great Value. 
Garden Huckleberry. A new fruit from Wash¬ 
ington State, and most desirable introduction of late 
years; will out-yield any other berry grown. Grows 
from seed and ripens its crop same year. Berries jet 
black, four times the size of Huckleberries; for pies or 
jams it is the equal of any other fruit grown. Plant 
same as tomato, in box or pan, and, when danger of 
frost is over, set out 4 x 6 feet. When jet black, stew 
thirty minutes: make very sweet. Better than wild 
huckleberries for pies, jams, jellies, sauce and 
canning. This new fruit is insect proof. A 
light frost improves the fruit. This fruit can 
be kept fresh for winter use or market. For 
winter use pull up the vines just before frost, 
or after the first frost, stack away where they 
will not freeze, and delicious fresh fruit can be 
picked all winter, as they will not rot and will 
keep fresh and nice for months.

Australian Star Flower. 
“ Cephalipterum Drummondi." 
Luther Burbank’s “Never Fading” Flower. 
A half hardy annual lately discovered in West Central Aus- 
tralia This surprisingly unique and beautiful plant grows 
readily fiom seed m any ordinary garden-soil. The fragrant 
flowers, of peculiarly pleasing rosy crimson shade, some¬ 
times approaching pure white, are produced in graceful 
clusters which when cut will retain their form and color per¬ 
manently, no other flower in any way equaling it in grace and 
keeping qualities. Full grown plants are about one foot high 
and the same across. Sow early in the open ground, or may 
De started early m the house and transplanted. In that case 
however, the ball of earth should not be disturbed. We have 
had clusters of the blossoms which have remained unchanged 
for a year. & 
Packet, 25 seeds, 10c. 
The seed we offer was grown by Mr. Burbank under his 
Own personal supervision.
