and fascinating to many, but this sen- sational press booming, which has cul- minated in the recently issued book, New Creation in Plant Life" by w. s. Harwood, tends to confuse and dis gust readers with the whole subject Mir. Harwood has missed a great op- portunity to give the horticultural world real information, and has filled his hundreds of pages with fulsome personal praise of MT. Burbank, de- picted as the greatest genius among plant breeders, with 9 preternatural ability for moulding refractory plants into new, astonishing and superlatively desirable forms. MT. Harwood's ig- norance of the actualities of the subject about which he writes, is all preVad- ing, and his profound wonder at the Commonplaces of propagation and breeding by hybridization and selec- tion, as practiced by hundreds of in- telligent gardeners al over the world, is almost pathetic. His estimates of the value of certain of Burbank's pro- tiuctions. such as the calculation of a porfit of $485,0 to be realized in twelve years from 160 acres of land, planted to hybrid walnut trees, 36 to the acre, seem too absurd to mention, but this is only sample of the tenor of the whole book.
 How far MT. Burbank is responsible for such bosb is not known. If he does not enjoy this booming no public dis claimer has been made. The R. N. Y. have appreciatively followed Burbank S work for many wears, and has first figured and described the majority of his productions. Nearly everything

 nator, Judge Logan, a medal for his service to horticulture. The Burbank plum, the most successful of all Japan varieties was not produced by Luther Burbank. It originated in Japan and was named, propagated and dissemi- mated by Burbank in his capacity of nurseryman. The Burbank potato, one of his earliest novelties has probably met the widest appreciation of any of his production. It is a dark-skinned variety, much grown near the Pacific coast, but long superseded in the East by the splendid kinds raised by the late E. S. Carman, former editor of the
 R. N. Y. and others. The statement that the Burbank potato is conquering the potato blight of Ireland, and is to add untold millions to the resources of the British islands, should be taken with many grains of allowance. It is adapted to moist climates, being eXten- sively grown in Oregon and Washing
 ton, and may endure blight better than European kinds. Many American po-
 tatoes have this advantage, including
 the excellent Gold Coin, raised by E..
 L. Coy, Vermont.
 Burbank is not wizard" of horti-
 culture, nor a ''creator" of anything
 whatever He is skillful and experi-
 enced plant breeder, and a sincere
 plant lover. he plant-breeder's work is to direct existing life forces in desirable plants, so as to produce useful and in=
 teresting variations. he public is not
 greatly interested in freaks and oddi- ties of vegetation that do not have pos itive ornamental or economic value, but does want superior forms of plant life that may enhance the beauty or in- crease the productiveness of the earth we live on. he Carnegie grant will en- able MT. Burbank to do much better in the future, in that he will not feel obliged to part with a new production until satisfied it is really better than its predecessors In some particular, and that it has at least sufficient vigor to live out of California under ordinary cultivation. Probably no fragment of the mountain of money known as the Carnegie fortune will do more real good than the very moderate sum to be used for carryig Burbank's work.

BURBANK BOILED DOWN"

An Estimate of the California Plant
 Breeder That is Not Too Enthusias-
 tic.
 Few individuals save presidential candidates and multi-n1illionaires have been favored with such astonishing press exploitation as Luther Burbank, the California plant breeder, writes Dr. Walter Van Fleet in Rural New York CT, since the announcement of a suf- ffcent grant from the Carnegie Institu- tion to enable him to continue his in- teresting work without financial worry. First came the pretentious high-prfced magazines, then the Sunday papers, weeklies and syndicates. The 10rcent magazines have since had their inn ings as well as the patent inside and local country newspapers, the whole punctuated by telegraphic announc- 1nents of new wonders in plant 'crea- tion'' in the regular daily press. The 1natteris now dribbling out through the multitude of mail advertisement pub- lications that use clippings and second hand news for their reading pages. From first to last, in all grades of per- iodicals, the tone of these Burbank write-ups has been in the highest de- gree sensational. Wild gush and screaming exaggeration is the keynote. The statement and language are all so similar, no matter whose name is sign ed to the various articles that com mon origin seems evident.
 There is a real public desire for re- liable information about Burbank S work and the general possibilities of plant breeding, as the subject is novel
The daily morning journal and courier., 1905-12-12

that he has given to the public has been grown on our trial grounds. We believe him to be an enthusiastic and energetic originator, but we do not con- slider him the foremost plant breeder in the world, if measured by the general success of his introductions to date He may be the most extensive breeder in regard to the variety of plants he is working on, and in the number of seed- ings grown. He has exclusively en- gagged in this work for the last twelve years. while other highly successful plant breeders have kept within the bounds of business caution, and devot- ed their energies to the perfection of special products. Thus. without toueh- ing on the invaluable services of such originators, now dead, as Ephriam W. Bull, raiser of the Concord grape, or Peter M. Gideon, who gave the Veal thy apple to the Northwest, we may mention the grand and little rewarded work of Jacob Moore, New York, pro- ducer of Brighton. Moore's Early and Diamond grapes, as we'll as splendid entrants; T. V. Munson, Texas, who llcbHo AS4Ac1OIt4IolSu L4lC SIciRE OI the Old World through breeding resist ant stocks, and has originated scores of new varieties of the greatest value, and the venerable H. A. Terry, Iowa, for thirty-six years patient and success full breeder of valuable paeonies and native plums. It is no kindness to mention the name of the California grower, now heading toward the poor house, after giving the state two of the most profitable stone fruits ever grown. These men are all great in their specialties, and have given horticulture enduring and valuable novelties with out receiving 8 fraction of the praise landed by Burbank.
 Instead of using weird and peculiar methods of inducing plants to yield to his desires, Burbank employs the ordi. nary manipulation of plant breeders selection, hybrfdization, re-selection and propagation by seeds, gratis, cut tings or division, and only differs from the most obscure worker by going into the business on 8 larger scale. He has been helped and hindered by the pe- culiar California climate--helped by having longer and more economical working season each year, with little need of glasshouse protection, and hind cred by being deceived as to the gen. eral value and actual hardness of new varieties bred under such conditions.
 As far as his climate gives him a practical monopoly of experimental breeding with certain plants, such as Pacific coast flowers his products are unique, and may be superior to pre- vious existing varieties, but when he handles subjects worked on by breed CTS in other localities, he does not al- ways make 8 specially brilliant show ing Thus the novelties he has sent out among Amaryllis, Aquilegias, field daisies, callas, Cannas, Gladioli, Nico. tianas, Verbenas, roses, rhubarb and tomatoes are not by any means world summers, but have been greatly sur passed by other raisers. The same may
 be said of his Rubus berries, quinces and chestnuts. What he has in store for the public we do, not know.
