BREEDING FOR PERFUME 
known, the production of this delightful 
adjunct of the world’s pleasure becomes a 
new source of national wealth. 
In this line of Mr. Burbank’s life-work, as 
in hundreds of others, the remarkable acts 
accomplished are only a part of the complete 
achievement. Sometimes he has had time to 
carry forward the work to full commercial 
ends, but, as the work of his life so magnifi- 
cently enlarges, much in the way of detail 
must be done by other hands. He has blazed 
a central way up through the Unknown, and 
he has posted signboards at a thousand ave- 
nues along the way, telling how this one may 
be followed to practical success, how that one 
must be shunned because it leads to failure, 
how the next road will lead on and on to an 
open field where harvests of grace, beauty and 
strength may be reaped.
