LUTHER BURBANK’S NEWER VARIETIES. 
Luther Burbank, of Santa Rosa, during the last few years 
introduced many new varieties not included in the foregoing 
list, which possess striking characters and some of which will 
become famous. They must, however, endure the test of trial 
and await later credit. Seedlings by other growers are also 
undergoing a similar ordeal.
