Luther Burbank at the Age of Twenty-five 



This picture was taken not long after Mr. Burbank at- 

 tained his first very notable success in plant development, 

 through the production of the Burbank potato. He was at this time 

 a highly accomplished gardener, thoroughly expert in all the 

 details of plant management. The following year (i875) 

 he was to migrate to California to take up his 

 permanent abode at Santa Rosa.
