LUTHER BURBANK 



Conservatory at the old home of Luther Burbank. 



fellow jumps upon Burbank's hand and curls down to 

 be softly stroked by him. 



When a few weeks old the little plants are given more 

 room by transplanting into other boxes; later these boxes 

 are placed outside and protected by large wooden frames, 

 until the plants become hardened so that they are able 

 to withstand sun and wind, then they are set in beds, 

 where the soil has been made ready for them. 



Not far from the conservatory are the packing sheds, 

 where trees, plants, and bulbs are made ready for ship- 

 ment, and are started, often on very long journeys, in 

 exchange for other seeds and plants.
