New Creations in Fruits and Flowers. 2") 



Besides those named in the preceding page, I have abont a dozen new 

 double seedlings of various forms and colors, and some single ones with /arorsl 

 fio7cers and unusual colors and habits of growth, some of them far excelling 

 any now known in cultivation. Prices, from $ioo to $300 each variety. 



The cuts of the Double Clematis are about three-fourths life size. 



" Allow nie to thank you most heartilj' for a copy of your unique presentation, Nkw 

 Creations in Fruits and Flowers. It is a rare, rich feast, and I congratulate you 

 upon your marvelous accomplishments." (Proe.) T. V. Munson, Texas. 



" I thank you for a copy received of your pamphlet titled. New Creations in I'ruits 

 AND Flowers. It is exceedingly interesting and I prize it." 



G. C. Brackp:tt, vSec. American Pomological Society. 



" I am well pleased with your strain of Gladiolus. In my opinion it is the most desir- 

 able that has been put on the market for many years. The Lenioine varieties are weak in 

 several respects. Hut few flowers open at the same time, and the spikes are greatly inclined 

 to be crooked. The Nancieanus are not vigorous growers, the petals are too thin, and too 

 few open at a time. The Childs are good growers, very large, but nearly all red and too 

 thin. The Gandavensis seed from Germany is not surpassed for good colors, but it has not 

 the substance of the California strain received from you. ]\Iany a time have I thought of 

 you and your Lilies. I would very much rather have seen them than the World's Fair, but 

 it was not convenient to see either. Wishing you many years to spend in your good work, 

 I am yours truly. " M. Crawford, Ohio. 



" I received your catalogue some time since and have been reading^ and re-reading, and 

 wondering at your Creations in which I am greatly interested. I did not suppose there 

 was a man in the world who had given the time you have to the intricate work of improving 

 and hybridizing fruits and flowers that you have done." Charles Mills, New York. 



" Your approval of my long conviction that environment is likely to exert a modif} - 

 ing influence upon the character of the incipient plant, carries the greater weight with me 

 from your wide experience in such matters. Trusting that you will reap ample returns from 

 the fields in which you seem to be almost the sole laborer." 



T. T. Lvon, Pres. of Michigan State Horticultural Society. 



''There is located at Santa Rosa, California, the greatest horticultural experiment farm 

 in America, if not in the world. On this farm of about fifty acres, Luther Burbank is 

 devoting his attention to the production of new varieties of vegetables, fruits and flowers, 

 with remarkably succe.ssful results, and it is by means of hybridization that the results are 

 accomplished." H. C. C. Miles, before Connecticut State Board of Agriculture.
