Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Luther Burbank's Spineless Cactus In these modern times a man must confine his efforts to a single occupation if it is to be well done. To be an extensive and successful producer of new forms of plant life and a successful merchant on a large scale is perhaps beyond the limit of any one man and I have found it necessary either to confine myself wholly to selling my new varieties of plant life or discontinue development work. Greatly preferring to devote my entire energies to the production of new varieties, I have disposed of the sales department to a corporation which will manage, market and carry on exclusively the business of selling the various new forms of plant life which I have evolved. Many Hundreds Of These Productions, Absolutely New To Mankind And More Useful And Valuable Than Those Now Known, Are Already Complete And Await Introduction. This corporation, The Luther Burbank Company, is the sole distributer of the Luther Burbank Horticultural productions, and from no other source can any one be positively assured of obtaining genuine Luther Burbank Production. To give each purchaser a guarantee of receiving original Burbank creations, this corporation has originated a trademark. The name "Burbank" has been so indiscriminately and fraudulently used that it has been in danger of losing, in a measure, its true significance. Every package of seed and every plant sent out from this corporation will have this trademark on it for your protection. All fraudulent uses of the same will be vigorously prosecuted and any information that will give knowledge of its misuse will be welcome.

David Starr Jordan (1851-1931) was a noted educator and scientist. Educated at Cornell University, Butler University, and the Indiana University School of Medicine he became the President of Indiana University in 1885, the youngest university president in the nation at the time. Six years later, he accepted the post of President of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he remained, first as president and later as chancellor, until his retirement. Vernon Lyman Kellogg (1867 - 1937) filled the Chair of Entomology at Stanford University during the early the early part of this century and presided over the development of a strong program in entomology that developed there.

Book excerpt: Volume VII may be called the ?vegetable volume?. In it, Mr. Burbank gives the details of his experiments in gardening, and an outline of his viewpoint, not alone for the benefit of the man who takes a lively springtime interest in this kitchen garden, but for the man, as well, who grows vegetable for the market.Nor is attention directed solely to the commoner forms of garden vegetables, a wide range of hitherto unthought-of food plants being discussed as well. In this volume will also be found a complete history of Mr. Burbank?s work with the potato and a sketch of the improvements, which, for more than forty years, he has been striving to make, together with his suggestions to those who would like to take up the work of bettering this important crop.Luther Burbank was widely known as a botanist and scientist. His fame as an inventor of new fruits, plants and flowers inspired world-wide interest in plant breeding, for which he was recognized by an Act of Congress, among many other honors.Luther Burbank (1849-1926) was an American horticulturist, botanist, and pioneer plant breeder, who developed more than 200 new varieties of plants for which he was recognized by an Act of Congress, among many other honors.Burbank was born in Lancaster, Massachusetts, and was educated at local schools and at Lancaster Academy. His boyhood was spent on a farm, and at the age of 21 he purchased a plot of land near Lunenburg, Massachusetts, and began his lifework of plant breeding. In 1873 he developed the so-called Burbank potato, a large, hardy variety of potato considered much superior to the small, easily spoiled type then grown. In 1875 Burbank moved to Santa Rosa, California, and established a nursery garden and a greenhouse that were the site of his experiments for the next 50 years. There he developed the edible, thornless Opuntia cactus; several improved varieties of fruits and vegetables; several new strains of roses and many other ornamental and decorative flowers and plants; and a new fruit called the plumcot, which is a cross between the plum and the apricot. At the time of his death he had more than 3000 experiments under way and was growing more than 5000 distinct botanical species native to many parts of the world. His work stimulated worldwide interest in plant breeding.Burbank's primary concern was the development of new varieties of plants. His ability to perform experiments that produced plants with favorable characteristics depended more on his sense of intuition than on strict scientific methodology. However, Burbank was influenced by certain scientific theories, such as the formerly accepted theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics affirmed by Jean de Lamarck and others. Burbank's writings include Luther Burbank: His Methods and Discoveries (12 vol., 1914-15) and How Plants Are Trained to Work for Man (8 vol., 1921).This volume was prepared from the author's original field notes covering more than 100,000 experiments made during forty years devoted to plant improvement.
