Luther Burbank PLUM Creations 
Luther Burbank, known all over the world 
as “The Master Plant Breeder,’’ was a genius 
to whom all agriculturists and horticulturists 
owe an everlasting debt of gratitude. 
For over half a century he labored un¬ 
selfishly and incessantly for the benefit of his 
fellow man. He was aided by Master Horti¬ 
culturists from the four corners of the earth, 
who sent him rare fruits and plants for plant 
breeding. In his Wonder Test Orchards, for 
nearly 50 years, BLIRBANK, THE WIZ¬ 
ARD, systematically bred Plums of su¬ 
perior new types, marvelous new Cherry 
Creations, New Peaches, Roses, Nectar¬ 
ines, Plumcots, and other fruits. 
On his deathbed, he expressed the desire 
that STARK BRO’S CARRY ON his ex¬ 
periments and Introduce his new Creations 
to the World. 
Expert Horticulturists predict that the old 
varieties will be almost totally superseded by 
the new Stark-Burbank Creations.

more than one variety of plums. Also several varieties will give fruit 
over a long period.
