Budding Records 



It has sometimes been supposed that Mr. Burbank 

 depends entirely on his memory ; and makes very Jew written 

 records oj his experiments. This facsimile page, taken in connection 

 with the others that have just been shown, will serve to dispel that 

 erroneous notion. It will be seen that records are kept of the essentials 

 of each different type of experiment, including not only methods, 

 but results. In point oj Jact, although Mr. Burbank adopts 

 many shortcuts, his records oj essentials are surpris- 

 ingly comprehensive and complete, considering 

 the enormous range oj his experiments.
