BREEDING FOR PERFUME 



known, the production of this delightful 

 adjunct of the world's pleasure becomes a 

 new source of national wealth. 



In this line of Mr. Burbank's life-work, as 

 in hundreds of others, the remarkable acts 

 accomplished are only a part of the complete 

 achievement. Sometimes he has had time to 

 carry forward the work to full commercial 

 ends, but, as the work of his life so magnifi- 

 cently enlarges, much in the way of detail 

 must be done by other hands. He has blazed 

 a central way up through the Unknown, and 

 he has posted signboards at a thousand ave- 

 nues along the way, telling how this one may 

 be followed to practical success, how that one 

 must be shunned because it leads to failure, 

 how the next road will lead on and on to an 

 open field where harvests of grace, beauty and 

 strength may be reaped.
