immense industry this fruit will create.
For the Burbank plum and the su
gar prune alone, America, and Calffor-
MIA in particular, should be deeply
grateful to Luther Burbank. But count
less other fruits, flowers and vegetables
must be credited to his wizard-like in
genuity. 1t is hard, indeed, to realize
that aught but a wizards wand brings
about such marvellous changes.
He planted a tiny seed in the spring
of 1876 and from that seed he gathered
three and quarter pounds Of the most
beautiful white potatoes that ever grew
on a potato vine. The tubers were
planted and replanted, and when the
second season had passed two tons was
the crop which a prominent Eastern
scotsman purchased and introduced to
became known all over America and
abroad. More than 200, 900 bushels
of the Burbank potato are now grown
every year. Mr.. Burbank made Just $3.50
from this potato. The scotsman who
bought 1t from him made almost half
million.
But the people In Marblehead, Mass,
are raising funds to erect a monument
to Mr.. Burbank on the spot where he
planted the tiny seed that has since
produced enough to feed a nation.
His success with the potato shaped
Mr. Burbank's career. Although born
