A CUP OF
HOT CHOCOLATE
Supplies Quick Nourishment and
Warmth ’
Ph, L
By Katharine Baker
A hot chocolate drink is especially
appropriate in winter fop social occa
sions, for much-needed warmth after
a session outdoors or after winter
sports. It is ideal at such times be
cause of its flavour and the extra food
value contained in the chocolate, the
sugar, milk and eggs which are used.
This chocolate syrup is the base for
a quick, hot drink. It can be kept on
hand and combined with scalded milk
when needed.

to-night
During many years o£ Lutlier
Burbank's life he cherished an
iron-bound trunk in which he re
ligiously stored little sacks and
packets of his experimental seeds.
This romantic old relic, battered
and scarred by journeys With Bur
bank since 1875, is . really his
legacy to the world’s flower lovers.
Time alone .Can toll the horticul
tural wonders 'that may emerge
from this treasure chest of a
famous man.
Today it Is owned by David
Burpee of Pdiilndolphia, who by
the way is not only a horticulturist
of note but a cousin of Mr. Bur
bank. The chest Still contains
many packages of rare seeds, care
fully labeled by the original owner.
Among them Burpee found seeds of
the Giant Zinnia in pastel shades
L-tlio offspring of zinnia seeds
onco secured by Burbank from
David Burpee’s fatliOT. Last
there wero only fl Been ounc?
the hew David Burpoo Zinnia
year
?s of
in tlie world. This year the seed
is comparatively plentiful and the
David Burpee Zinnia will be grown
in thousands of gardens. It is an
astonishing flower, five and ’a half
to six inches across, and some
times four inches deep. Actually,
it looks more like a big Chrysan
themum than a descendant of the
"Old Maid" grown by our grand'
mothers in their little’ plots of
ground.
The colors are soft and rich —
soft pastel shades of apricot, buff,
salmon pink, burnt orange, peach
and teria-cotta-cerlse. Many of
the flowers are bi-colored and some
are trhcolorod in combinations that
are very pleasing.
Bost of all, this zinnia is still a
foolproof flower — one that will
grow anywhere, as Its great-grand
parent, the “Old Maid" grow,
From the treasure chest of Luther
Burbank one more wonder has
