Tobacco Plant 



Mr. Burbank has made important experiments with 



various members o/ the tobacco tribe. This picture shows a 



specimen of unusual vigor of growth, illustrating the possibilities oj 



cfevelopment in that direction. Mr. Burbank's experinients with the 



plants oj this Jamily have largely been made for their scientific 



interest rather than in the attempt to develop commercial 



varieties. Not being a user oj tobacco himself, he 



does not take the personal interest in the 



loiter aspect oj the work that he 



otherwise might.
