asked him what he cared most to
do, meaning what specific thing he
wished to achieve most of all.sand he
answered me with the earnestness SO
characteristic:
Il hope to increase the population OF
the world by lettering the conditions
of life
He is not the sort of man who would
touch the match to cotton bales be-
market.
With his broad aims, with his ac-
acknowledgement of universal brother
hood, he has carried on his work with
patience inconceivable. Only patience
born of high purpose could have ac-
complished what he has done.
Why, 1t took twelve years to pro-
duce the stoneless plum-twelve years
Of waiting and watching and expert
men ting by intelligent selection to edu-
cate one little plum tree to leave the
stones out of it's delicious fruit. But
that one little plum tree is the parent
of all the plum trees that will here
after give us stoneless plums.
1t has taken as many years to de-
nude the cactus of It's hostile spines-
as many years and thousands of exper-
iments. 1t took the highest trained in
telligence. it took constant vigilance
"
fort in the face of threatened defeat.
1t took the Spartan willingness to suf-
fer from the spines in handling the
cacti. There were a thousand discour-
agements, but there was the chance OF
success-and that meant everything.
Luther Burbank worked away-put-
tered away, some Silly folk would say

This was the savage he meant. to tame
when he crossed and crossed and
crossed with less hostile cacti, always
with an eye to preserving the original
food value. At last-to- day-he has
Opuntfa leaves az smooth and velvety
as baby's cheek
Why did he try for this?
Because he saw in his minds eye al
ways through those years the miles
and miles of arid desert land that have
been lying thus through the centuries
waiting for the touch Of the magician.
Because he pictured them covered with
herds of sleek cattle. Because he saw
in their endless procession the white
faced, hungry toilers. always toiling, al
ways hungry.

tus and smoothed II with his hand. the

The mere list of his achievemcnts-of
his plant creations fills ten typewriter
pages of foolscap. and there is not one
achievement, not one creation among
them that did not require at least three
or four years OF care and watching and
waiting. There are many that have
taken eight, nine, ten, twelve, fifteen
twenty years Of patient labor. There is
one experiment of his just rounding into
happy completion no#-the perfection Of
an early-bearing walnut-that has been
going on for twenty-eight years.
1t took ten years and million seedlings
to bring the weak-stemmedf. scrawny
gladiolus to the perfection of the strong,
rich-hued, prodigally lowered gladiolus
which is known as Burbank's California.
Once>upon time Luther Burbanks
quick eyes spied a golden California
poppy with a streak of crimson in it.
That was eight years ago, and during
every year Of these eight years that
poppy with the crimson streak has been
educated--that poppy and its offspring.
The streak of red has been taught to

ten pages Of successes is not list OF
unbroken victories. Between the lines
there are the failures. the lisappoint-
ments. the fruitless experiments, the
work and hopes Of years destroyed In
a moment in some untoward way.
When he greets me in his grave and
kindly way in his sitting-room ask
him about these.

In his laboratory garden he has done

With wonderful sinsIeness and
Gteadfastness Of purpose he has done
these things.
Thirty years ago. when he was little
more than "a boy, he came here from his
native bleak New England, and already
his high purpose was defined. his work
lay clear before him.
He came equipped for the battle of
life with just ten of his Burbank po-
tatoes-and brains.
For fifteen years he followed the
business of nurseryman and with much
success. for he is a practical man as
well as dreamer OF golden dreams
There was never a day of those fifteen
years when he forgot his resolve or
swerved from his purpose, which was
to win the financial freedom to give all
his time and thought to his expert
ments in plant training. in plant edu-
cation IN plant evolution. II came at
the end of the fifteen years and he set
tied down in his pleasant, modest home
at Santa Rosa. no longer to multiply
and distribute the fruits and flowers
and trees and vegetables that already
existed. but TO create new and better
forms.
He had been doing this as a side
line" OF course during all the fifteen
years he was winning his competency,
for life Of mere noney-getting would
have been intolerable TO a man like
Luther Burbank, but now his gardens,
his greenhouses surrounding his Santa
Rosa home and his ten acres at Sebas-
topol were given up entirely to ex-
perimenting.

Luther Burbanks life. It is such a
revelation of the real man-of the
strength and patience and loyalty that
lies under that gentle. shy. unpreten-
