LUTHER BURBANK, THE MAN 
At this point a plan was unfolded to him, 
considered somewhat at length in a later chap- 
ter, for substantial assistance from the Car- 
negie Institution in a manner which would 
leave him absolutely his own master and 
would enable that organization to become a 
silent partner in the furtherance of his plans. 
Thus the way opened to a maximum of 
effort at a minimum of waste.
