Burbank Tomato 
Fruit crimson red; medium size with thick 
solid meat. It is an unusually heavy and con¬ 
tinuous bearer. This tomato has one highly con¬ 
venient quality in that the skin peels freely from 
the rich firm flesh. The finest tomato in qual¬ 
ity I have ever tasted. Pkts » 20c; 3 for 5 0c; 
$1.00 per ounce. Earliest of all tomatoes.

lants low and 
compact rarely exceeding 2 ft. in height. Excel¬ 
lent for bedding purposes. Flowers are small and 
produced in great profusion on long stems well 
above foliage. Make gorgeous display in the gar¬ 
den. More delicate and graceful for small bou¬ 
quets than other zinnias. Mixed colors only 2 5c 
pkt. 
Nsw Rhubarb “Giant Hybrid’’ 
Largest stalks and leaves of any known va¬ 
riety. Possesses a rich berry flavor and is a 
great improvement over older varieties. Sweetest 
of all rhubarbs; requires but half the amount of 
sugar generally used in cooking other varieties. 
Stalks 1 l /z inch thick and 2-3 ft. long. Divisions 
50c each; 12 $3.00. Not less than 12 at this rate. 
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 vege¬ 
table produces such a large and continuous sup¬ 
ply 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 spin¬ 
ach. The leaves of this new "Crimson Giant” arc 
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 aver¬ 
age 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. 
50c per packet; $2150 an ounce. Special quota¬ 
tions on request to large growers for cannery 
purposes.

Baby Zinnia. Flowers are double and semi-double

mahogany red, ruby-red, copper and crimson

for bedding purposes as plants do not exceed 15 
inches in height. These new zinnias possess an 
entirely different range of colors and are not 
comparable to any other class. 5 0c per pkt.

shrubs or in the background of wide borders.
