BURBANK'S 1919 NEW CREATIONS IN SEEDS

"The analogy is fascinating, as he presents it in his article on the 'Training of 
the Human Plant.' Our parent Anglo-Saxon stock, itself a successful mixture of 
Briton, Roman, Saxon, Dane and Norman-French, when transplanted to America 
met even in Colonial days the Dutch, the French and the Swede." — "Journal," 
Minneapolis, Minn. 
"Luther Burbank, who knows more about plant life than anyone in the world, 
has written an essay on the training of the human plant, which it is a rare privi- 
lege to read. It contains information and ideas which no American can afford 
to be without — ideas which bring with them an inspiration and an aspiration. 
The book will make its most direct appeal to parents and teachers, but every boy 
and girl, every man and woman will find in it a message for himself." — "House- 
keeper." 
He demands for the child of the race — most sensitive of living things — first and 
foremost an heredity and environment of love; differentiation in training, sun- 
shine, good air, and nourishing food. He condemns the marriage of the physically 
unfit, and discusses at length heredity, predestination, training, growth, environ- 
ment, and character. The fundamental principles of Education, Mr. Burbank 
declares, should be the subject of earnest scientific investigation including all the 
causes which tend TO PRODUCE MEN AND WOMEN WITH SANE, WELL- 
BALANCED CHARACTERS.
