LUTHER BURBANK, THE MAN 



At this point a plan was unfolded to him, 

 considered somewhat at length in a later chap- 

 ter, for substantial assistance from the Car- 

 negie Institution in a manner which would 

 leave him absolutely his own master and 

 would enable that organization to become a 

 silent partner in the furtherance of his plans. 



Thus the way opened to a maximum of 

 effort at a minimum of waste.
