New Burbank 
New Burbank Tomato 
Mr. Burbank’s wonderful genius has created a Tomato that 
from seeds planted in open ground BEARS FRUIT EARLIER 
THAN PLANTS. 
Mr. Burbank himself made the remarkable statement that "a 
second crop of tomatoes has been grown in one season from the 
seed of the first crop.” A.I. Root, editor of Bee Culture, states 
that he planted Burbank Tomato Seed when his other tomato 
plants were budding, yet his first ripe Tomatoes came from the 
Burbank. 
The Burbank is also Blight-proof and a big bearer. Very solid, 
with few seeds and of fine flavor. 
We "can offer the Burbank Tomato only in packets of 50 seeds 
this year. Order NOW as our supply is limited.

A CANADIAN TESTIMONIAL 
Last year several of the gardeners here sent for your “Bur¬ 
bank” Tomato seed. I received six plants from them. As for a 
cropper, the like was never seen in these parts before, and one 
of the gardeners took first prize with them at the gardeners' 
show.—H. O. H., London, Ontario, Canada. 
Giant Climbing or Mammoth 
Prize Tomato 
We have made this mammoth Tomato a specialty for some years. It gives complete satis¬ 
faction everywhere, as the massive fruits possess every good quality desired, are almost per¬ 
fect in form and very solid. The vines, when properly trained, will attain a height of 12 
to 15 feet and carry an enormous weight of the immense fruits, often found to weigh one, 
two and three pounds each. We offer a selected strain that is extremely prolific and bears 
continuously until frost. It is unsurpassed in fine quality for slicing. Every garden should 
have a few of these giant Tomato plants. 
They begin to ripen in about 110 day% and continue until killed by frost..

The New Break O’Day Tomato 
We are one of the few seed houses carrying this wonderful new variety. Break O’Day 
was originated by Dr. Pritchard of the U. S. Dept, of Agriculture by crossing Marvana w’ith 
the Marglobe resulting in this wonderful new variety which we believe is destined to be¬ 
come the most popular early red and the best early variety for market gardeners or the 
home gardener anywhere. Vines are very open growing and in appearance somewhat re¬ 
semble Earlianna altho the leaves are rather short and small for a plant that is so prolific. 
It is resistant to disease and can stand severe weather conditions. Fruits are of a large 
size and closely resemble the Marglobe as to shape and color.
