Dear Mr. Burbank: 



Yesterday I received a 

 set of your beautiful books. I 

 have spent a number of hours with 

 them, and they are fascinating 

 and most instructive. Young per- 

 sons, as well as older ones, will 

 be instructed and delighted by 

 reading these books. The story 

 of your ackiievements in the im- 

 provement of fruits and flowers 

 and vegetables and everything in 

 the plant v/orld reads like a 

 fairy tale. I cannot imagine any 

 person who would not like to read 

 this story. 



I congratulate you upon 

 having put what you have accom- 

 plished into such form that it 

 will be accessible to people 

 everywhere. I will put them to 

 good use here, for I know I will 

 do my students a service in 

 directing their attention to them. 



Cordially yours, 



(Signed) M.V.O'Shea
