Arizona state miner., 1925-10-24

OF him as a Yankee who had turned
his inventive knack toward growing
things-an experimental crank with a
mania for improving on nature. Bur
bank himself has written:
I desired to deal with the forces of
life and mold the plastic forms Of liv-
ing organisms rather than classify
fixed and immutable phenomena
which would appear to be the province
of the geologist.
The chief work of the botanist Of
yesterday was the study and classif1-
cation of dried, shriveled plant num-
mics, whose souls had fed, rather than
the living plastic forms. We. have
learned that they are as plastic in our
hands as clay in the hands of the pot
ter or color on the artists canvas, and
can readily be nodded into more beau
tiful forms and colors than any painter
or sculptor can ever hope to bring
forth.
In 1872 in Massachusetts, when Bur-
bank was twenty-three, he undertook
to improve the potato. Says Burbank ::
In this country the potatoes were
nubby and small and subject to rot,
and when they ran to any size 1t would
be in one direction so that they looked
like lady fingers. Sometimes they
center They had to be trained to pro-
duce good roots, and that was a matter
Of selection and inviting surroundings.
They had to be taught to stay in the
hill. I found the seed-ball of an Early
Rose, which seldom bears seed. and
got thirty-two plants from it that were
practically all different. From these
came the Burbank potato. 1 sold 1T
for $3.50. 1t has probably contributed
$50, 100000 to the food values Of the
world.
Burbank arrived October l, 1875,
in Santa Rosa, Sonoma county, Cali
fornia. He was unheralded and un-
known. But he had in his baggage ten
Burbank potatoes that he had re-
tanned from the Massachusetts SALE
Had the "Plant WiZard"-he got the
name early-chosen to paddock his
gardens and keep his mouth shut he
might easily have posed as an interna-
tiOnal mystery z&1e chose the opposite
policy and when success arrived he
proceeded to take the public into his
confidence. In 1893 he published his
first work, New Creations in Fruits
and Flowers" Other volumes fol-
tured his achievements. He worked
alone, with no pecuniary assistance,
until 1904, when the Carnegie in
stitute granted him $4,000 a year
for ten years. Burbank is not wealthy,
| it Is stated-merely well-to-do.
The title Of one Of Burbank's books,
"How Plants Are Trained to Work for
Man." is significant of his methods.
He considers that he trains plants.
He cannot train the individual plant,
perhaps, but he trains the plant family
through generation after generation
making use Of cross-breeding, en-
vironmental influences favorable to
variation, selection of those qualities
valuable to man. Nature herself plays
Burbank prank every now and then
for example, the Delicious Apple
and the Temple Orange (soon to be
on the market) are both sports. 4"
| And Burbank pats Nature on the back.
/ His genius consists in infinite patience.

Nature at the right moment. He
plants seeds by the millions; he de-
stroys plants wholesale. He once made
an estimate that during a fifteen
year period Of experiment more than
a million specimens were destroyed
in the making of $50 new. creations.
1t took $4,000 hybrid vines to produce
his white blackberry. He says;
The materials to be combined in
cross-fertilization must be carefully
analyZed and selected. Sometimes the
right combinations are very difficult
to obtain. I have waited years, in
many instances, to secure a plant with
one needed quality lacking in any Of
the forms 1 had available. Sometimes
friend, or one of my collectors in
another country, has found the element

had ever before existed.
To summarize the results Of Bur
banks work would take many volumes.
precocious varieties; has heightened
the season three months; has made
important structural changes has Sc
| cured entirely new varieties. For ex-
ample, he has made stoneless plum.
He has hastened the bearing age Of
years. He has produced the white
blackberry and the plum-cot, cross
between the plum and apricot.
In flowers he has given perfume
to those which lacked it and enlarged
and beautified many. From the yellow
California poppy he created flower
of magnificent crimson. He made the
Shasta daisy from the common field
daisy of the East and daisies from
Europe and Asia. He has created a
new calla amaryllis, clematis, gladi-
olus and columbine.
Possibly the most valuable product
of Burbank's long years of work is
the cactus without spines or bristles.
He began work on the prickly pear
| (opuntia tuna) in 1896. He had cactus
specimens sent him from all over the
world He raised thousands of seed
lings. 1t was not until 1907 that he
won success and gave the world a new
forage plant.
Luther Burbank is much more than
a horticulturist Of genius. He is a
forcefu1 personality, with his own
ideas and PHILOSOPHERS. His latest
portrait, here reproduced, shows a
strong face. And he has given the lie
to the old saying that a prophet is
not without honor save in his own
country. For Santa Rosa greatly
honors it's PLANT Wizard" as shown
by the pictures taken at the Burbank
Jubilee of 1923, when the municipality
owned Burbank park was dedicated.
This park will contain a collection
Of his products.
Long years ago the Bard of Avon
declared 1t "wasteful and ridiculous
excess 'to paint the lily, to
throw perfume on the violet" But
Luther Burbank has done Just this
and done it better than anyone else. So
the world has beaten pathway to his
| door and Emerson has the laugh on
Shakespeare.

ton. He is in good health and is as
fond of work as Edison, than whom no
one is fonder Nevertheless, for two
years he has been gradually getting his
affairs in shape with the idea Of hav-
ing some qualified institution take
over his experimental farms at Santa
Rosa and carry on his work.
Stanford university, 1t is now an
nounced, will take over the Burbank
gardens for maintenance and perpetu-
alton The conditions under which
Stanford was established require that
each unit shall have its individual
endowment. SO a committee is now
at work making the necessary financial
arrangements
1t is not stated how much Burbank
is to receive for his gardens. 1t is
reported, however, that he turns them
over at half their full valuation, the
figures to be fixed by a friendly COM
mittee. The story goes that private
interests made offers of 100000, of
$150,000 and of $250,000 and that Bur-
bank refused them, on the ground that
he was unwilling to "commercialize'
his half-century Of work. It is also
said that several mid-western and
eastern colleges were desirous of pur-
chasing These Burbank eliminated
as being too far away.
The story is that Burbank himself
never would have thought of taking
h,,+ bnf oe l.;
sonaI friends, Edison and Ford, pro
posed the plan and convinced him
of its advisability. David Starr Jordan
of Stanford is another personal friend.
He too took kindly to the idea. Among
others interested in promoting the
transfer are President Ray Lyman
Wilbur, Herbert Hoover, William G.
McAdoO, Rudolph Spreckles, Mrs A
B. Spreckles, James Rolph, Jr, Her
bert Slater, Mrs. Margaret Sartoris
and William H Crocker.
At Stanford it Is intimated that a
rearrangement will follow the trans
fer. The present idea seems to be that
the gardens will be put in charge Of a
special faculty of scientists from all
parts Of the world. This faculty will
be Jointly chosen by Burbank and the
university. Burbank does not plan
to give up work entirely. He will
presumably be needed. He is quoted
as saying that "in twelve hours run
ming he would not be able to enumer-
ate the experiments he now has under
way in his gardens
Luther Burbank was born on a 200
acre farm at Lancaster Mass. He
was the thirteenth child in a family
of fifteen. His father gave him school
ing in a private academy and then he
had to go to work. He got job at a
wOOd-turning lathe in Worcester The
Job paid So a week. Forthwith he In
vented an improvement on the lathe
got himself put on piece work and
earned some days as much as $16.50.
AS soon as he got together a bit of
money he went to work at farming
