Selection the Means.

The most promising individual Il
then selected TO propagate from. b,
seeds or otherwise, and selection is II
turn made from its progeny, repeating
the method until satisfactory results
are attained. In this manner Mr.
Burbank has produced white peoples
from the wild golden poppy OF Cali
%fornia, and from IN insignificant little
wild flower he has developed the
Shasta daisy" measuring several
inches across. He has also. in like
fashion, developed valuable new vari,
ties OF berries, including a white
blackberry" plums and prunes with,
out pits. a new fruit called the "plum.
cot" which is a cross between the
plum and the apricot, and numerous
other horticultural marvels.
Some little understanding Of his
methods. as here roughly outlined, is
needful 10 even a partial appreciation
of the profoundly interesting exhibit
in the pavilion OF the wonders accom-.
.plished by this modest Santa Rosa
Darwin. The display consists Of a
large glass ase containing specimens
OF fruits and nuts. also OF a series Of
framed pictures showing the results

The exhibit may be found on the

the band stand and almost directly

culturist. Luther Burbanks. II SAYS:
One Of the most interesting as well
as one OF the most instructive ex.
hibits In the pavilion is that made by
Luther Burbanks, OF Santa Rosa. the
famous originator OF new varieties OF
vegetables, fruits and flowers. His
reputation Is world wide. and he is
today by far the most celebrated man
In California, as well as one OF her
most useful citizens. No one has done
so much for her leading industry Of
horticulture, and his services in this
regard will continue TO benefit the
fruit growers for many generations to
come
There is no trace Of the fakir or
charlatan in Burbank or his methods.
He Is a very modest. retiring man,
and his fame has been literally thrust
upon him. Such terms as wizard"
and king" Of horticulture, which
have been showered upon him by en-.
thusiastic admirers, he foes not rel.
ish. What he has done has been &C.

scientific way. He makes no secret
