" Not less wonderful than the story of the thornless cactus and 

 the seedless plum is the story of the life of the wonderful wizard 

 of the west. The author of this book shows a great appreciation 

 of and sympathy with the unselfish character of the man who has 

 done so much for the world, in utility as well as beauty. His 

 methods are explained, and many illustrations aid the text in 

 elucidating them." The Critic, New York. 



"The first full and authoritative account of the life and work of 

 Luther Burbank, concerning whom so much has appeared of late 

 in American magazines, has been written by W. S. Harwood under 

 the title 'New Creations in Plant Life.' The American reading 

 public has shown its disposition to read with avidity everything 

 published about this wonderful man, and we have no doubt that 

 the present exposition of his methods will meet with popular favor. 

 Mr. Harwood has had exceptional opportunities to familiarize him- 

 self with Mr. Burbank's remarkable work in California, and all 

 who read his descriptions of the various aspects of the work may 

 rest assured they are based on accurate observation authenticated 

 by Mr. Burbank." The Review of Reviewt, New York. 



"This volume, prepared by one who is in hearty sympathy 

 with Mr. Burbank and who realizes some of the peculiar difficulties 

 under which a good deal of his work is carried on, is by far the 

 most satisfactory account we have yet seen of Burbank's successful 

 labors." The Evening Post, New York. 



"We can recommend this volume as a truthful and readable 

 description of a remarkable career." The Nation, New York. 



"Thousands will be interested in the full account of the man, 

 his methods, and his successes, . . . telling very enthusiastically 

 the story of Luther Burbank and what he has done." The Inquirer, 

 Philadelphia.
