The Florists' Review 



NOVBMBBB 17, 1921 



sympathy witli the person whose life 

 thoy are tryinjf to sketch; tlieir treat- 

 ment of their subject is not sufficiently 

 appreciative. But the biof^rapher in 

 this instance shows no such lack of ap- 

 preciation. Almost every page, almost 

 every paragra])li of the book bears evi- 

 dence of the author's high esteem for 

 Mr. Burbank's (lualities of mind and 

 heart. Every leaf may be said to 

 breathe ardent approval of Mr. Bur- 

 bank's character and career. The first 

 sentence of the first chapter may be re- 

 garded as the keynote of the author's 

 attitude throughout tlie volume; the 

 sentence reads: "Luther Burbank, of 

 whose life, achievements and methods 

 this book is to treat, is the foremost 

 plant-breeder in the world." In the 

 third paragrapli tlie author says again: 

 "He [Mr. Burbank] has been engaged 

 in a line of work so novel and so profit- 

 able he could easily have built up a 

 fortune, yet he has subjected himself 

 all his life to the most rigid self-denial 

 and sacrifice in order that every energy 

 and every resource might be devoted to 

 the betterment of the world." 



The autlior 's language is always clear 

 and graphic and is frequently poetical. 

 The numerous whole-souled admirers of 

 Mr. Burbank will doubtless agree that 

 this book is exactly what they wanted, 

 and many other people, of all shades of 

 opinion, will be interested in the view 

 of Mr. Burbank's work that this author 

 presents. In mechanical details, such 

 as typography, illustrations and bind- 

 ing, the volume is of so fine a grade as 

 to accord fijlly with the high reputation 

 of the publishers. It should be noted 

 that tliis is the second edition of the 

 book and that the first edition was sev- 

 eral times reprinted.
