Luther Burbank at Sixty-four 
This direct color snapshot of Mr. Burbank was 
made on his sixty-fourth birthday, March 7th, 1913. In 
California, by an act of legislature, Mr. Burbank’s birthday is a state 
holiday, called ‘“‘Burbank Day’’—taking the place of Arbor Day 
in other states. On Mr. Burbank’s birthday the school 
children of the State plant trees and celebrate 
the occasion with appropriate exercises.
