"^HETHER the gr owing of plants be taken 



^ ^ up as a science, a profession, a business, or 

 merely for recreation, there is ever present the need 

 to understand nature^ s methods and her forces in 

 order to be able to viake use of them — to guide them. 



The purpose of this booklet is to afford a gliwpse 

 of the interest and value of the works of Luther 

 Burbank, the "imznrd of the plant ivorld.''' In 

 the new Burbank books are facts about plants 

 stranger thcui fiction; expert guidance in every 

 detail of plant culture; interpretations of the laws 

 and principles of nature, with specific recommenda- 

 tions as to how nature^ s ways may be put to practical 

 use for pleasure and profit; and the inspiration 

 and p7iceless secrets of the ivorld's foremost plant 

 creator — the sum total of his unparcdleled experi- 

 ence and skill. 



But remember that ivhat is included here is only 

 a taste, a thousandth jjart of the whole ti^easure 

 that may be yours if you own the complete library.
