Mr.. Burbank's greatest success. II
was developed by him at his old
home in Massachusetts as long ago
as 1873 and was one of his first tri-
umphs. Now so general in it's use
that people hardly ever think to con.
meet it with, the scientist who has
gone on from that to more intricate
things, patiently working them out
at his big farm in California.
Some of Mr.. Burbank's most strik-
ing successes are with relation to
chestnuts and walnuts He produced
a chestnut tree that will bear In Is
months from the time the parent
tree is first planted by seed. The av
erage of the chestnut tree known 70
the public is ten to fifteen years from
the time 1t is planted seed until 1t
comes into bearing.
In walnuts Mr.. Burbank produced
shell that could be crushed In the
hand, but found that birds destroyed
1t, and was Obliged to harden the
covering to protect tho meat. He
took the tannin out of the walnut. II
is a coloring matter that gives q
rather disagreeable flavor. One oil
the trees has given an annual crop
of 400 pounds for the last 20 years.
As an example of delicate plant
work, MIR. Burbank's friends refer To
his improvement OF the dahlia. He
removed the disagreeable odor and
produced the flower with fragrance
like magnolia.
In Burbank's discovery of the spine
less cactus the cattlemen of the des
ert states have a means of fattenins
stock which is priceless. The cactus
is a substitute for water. 1t has been
found that the milk flow of the cows
is increased rs per cent when they
are fed on cactus. over the amount
given when dry alfalfa hay is feed.
