Description
Excerpt from Luther Burbank, His Methods and Discoveries and Their Practical Application, Vol. 3: Prepared From His Original Field Notes Covering More Than 100, 000 Experiments Made During Forty Years Devoted to Plant Improvement
With many examples of the actual work before us, Mr. Burbank now takes us into the interesting detail of method itself, treating the subjects of pollenation, grafting, plant affinities, fixing traits, selection, and spreading before us all Of the processes which he has employed in his more than separate experiments.
The purpose has been to lead the reader, by easy and interesting stages, up to a point where a delineation of the actual processes may be most readily grasped. This, the third book, completes the consideration of general method, and with the two preceding volumes gives us an intelligent survey of Mr. Burbank's work.
