Tobacco Plant 



Mr. Burbank has made important experiments with 



various members of the tobacco tribe. This picture shows a 



specimen oj unusual vigor oj growth* illustrating the possibilities of 



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



plants of this familv have largely been made for their scientific 



interest rather man in the attempt to develop commercial 



varieties. Not being a user of tobacco himself, he 



does not take the personal interest in the 



latter aspect of the work that he 



otherwise might.
