Tobacco Plant 



Mr. Burbank has made important experiments with 



various members oj the tobacco tribe. This picture shows a 



specimen oj unusual vigor oj growth, illustrating the possibilities oj 



development in that direction. Mr. Burbank's experiments with the 



plants oj this jamily have largely been made for their scientijic 



interest rather than in the attempt to develop commercial 



varieties. Not being a user oj tobacco himself, he 



does not take the personal interest in the 



latter aspect oj the work that he 



otherwise might.
