Second Burbank Has Been Found — Minnesota 

 Farmer Learns How to Color and Flavor 

 Muskmelons. 



The discoveries of the marvelous possibilities of 

 horticulture are yet in infancy. Burbank is the pio- 

 neer in this department of agriculture. His example 

 has set thousands of expert gardeners to work mak- 

 ing tests, the results of some of them being really 

 astounding. 



C. W. Marshall, Minneapolis, Minn., has achieved 

 the almost impossible, from the standpoint of the 

 horticulturist, in bringing out seedless varieties of 

 vegetable fruit, and coloring and flavoring muskmelons 

 as desired. "Muskmelons may be flavored easily," he 

 told the growers. ''Constant experiment with flowers, 

 vegetables, trees, and plants has led to many an in- 

 teresting discovery,'' he says, 'Svith an unending field 

 always open to the one who will spend his time play- 

 ing cards with those provided by nature.''
