Blossoms of the Brodiaea 



The brodiaea is another wild plant Mr. Burbank has 



brought into the garden, and which he is educating with an 



eye to both its blossoms and its bulb. Some of the wild brodiaeas 



are edible, and Mr. Burbank expects to improve on their qualities 



through hybridization and selection. Some rather notable first 



steps in this direction have already been taken. It will 



be seen that the brodiaea has an interesting, 



even if not a very spectacular flower.
