 The thornless cactus will be ready for the market in the spring of 1909. when there will be half a million of the plants fiourishing. Some idea of their present value may be gained from the knowledge that Mir Burbank sold five leaves for seed to an Austra- lian company for $5,000, with the pro ceeds from which he built a new bun galow at Santa Rosa.
 The wonderful plant has been devel- oped with great secrecy, but now MT. Burbank is ready for the world to know all about it and to await expect. antly for the proof of the cactus pud- ding in the eating thereof
 For many years Mir Burbank has been considered by horticulturists the first of the worlds many experiment. CTS for the improvement of fruits and vegetables
 Born in a little Massachusetts town in 1S49, he spent his boyhood on a farm and early began his attempts to change plant life. The first result of his studies and labors was the we'll known Burbank potato, a great i'm. provement over potatoes in cultivation at the time 1t was originated.
 With little special education. in the academic sense, for his work, he was forced into outdoor life by his delicate health and devoted his whole time to experimenting. In 1875, when he was 26 years old, he realized the advantage of the California climate for his work and removed there. The most famous of his productions is perhaps the Stoneless prune.
 Mir Burbank's work was carried on for years at his own expense. but of late he has received S10,000 a year from the Carnegie fund. He is unmar. ried, lives quietly on his little place in Santa Rosa, and seldom leaves if except for the delivery of lectures at Leland Stanford university, where he is special lecturer on evolution. or for some business connected with his work.

San Francisco.-Luther Burbank, floral sunshine and made men glad be- cause of the fruits and vegetables he has coaxed from the earth with scien- tific genius that spread his name and fame throughout the nations, is about to commercialize his greatest tri- umph.'
 What the California plant wonder worker proposes to do seems to many impossible but, viewed in the light of his past achievements, almost any thing may be expected from this crea- tive king of the farm and gardens of Santa Rosa. He proposes to feed man and beast on cactus plants.
 Mir. Burbank is about prepared 10 flood the markets of the world with a spineless. thornless, fruit-bearing, nu- ary boon to mankind and will tickle the palates of pigs, cattle, sheep and horses.
 What MT. Burbank has done Is to produce from the cactus a plant des- tined to be of inestimable value as forage and also as food. At model nursery established for the propaga- tion of his discovery in the Salton Sea district of California there are now 1,200 of these growing, flourishing plants. AS a result of his long and pa tient labors he has produced several varieties, which, reproducing from the leaves broken off and thrust into the ground, will yield through succeed.
