Luther Burbank 
SANTA ROSA. CALIFORNIA 
U. S. A. 
In these modern times a man must con- 
fine his efforts to a single occupation if it is 
to be well done . 
To be an extensive and successful producer 
of new forms of plant life and a successful 
merchant on a large scale is perhaps beyond the 
limit of any one man and I have found it necessary 
either to confine myself wholly to selling my 
new varieties of plant life or discontinue 
development work. 
Greatly preferring to devote my entire 
energies to the production of new varieties, 
I have disposed of the sales department to a 
corporation which will manage, market and carry 
on exclusively the business of selling the 
various new forms of plant life which I have evolved. 
MANY HUNDREDS OF THESE PRODUCTIONS , ABSOLUTELY 
NEW TO MANKIND AND MORE USEFUL AND VALUABLE THAN THOSE 
NOW KNOWN, ARE ALREADY COMPLETE AND AWAIT INTRODUCTION. 
This corporation, The Luther Burbank Company, 
is the sole distributer of the Luther Burbank 
horticultural productions, and from no other 
source can any one be positively assured of obtaining 
genuine Luther Burbank Productions. 
To give each purchaser a guarantee of receiv- 
ing original Burbank creations, this corporation 
has originated a trademark. The name ' 'Burbank* * 
has been so indiscriminately and fraudulently used 
that it has been in danger of losing, in a measure, 
its true significance. Every package of seed and 
every plant sent out from this corporation will 
have this trademark on it for your protection. 
All fraudulent uses of the same will be vigorously 
prosecuted and any information that will give 
knowledge of its misuse will be welcome.
