" It must be taught to flourish in heat and cold, and with only the indifferent care that most persons would give it. This was accomplished, and then the new Shasta daisy was ready to enter the polite world. But many people who know the Shasta daisy, the sweet-scented verbena and calla lily, and the dahlia with the fragrance of the magnolia, have heard less about Mr. Burbank s more practical work. He never forgets his aim to make food better and cheaper, and, as in the case of the daisy, he sen...ds all over the world, if necessary, for plants that possess the qualities needed. The results are marvels. From the hardy little beach-plum, bitter and worth less unless cooked, he has produced a large, sweet, rich plum without bitterness, and as ready as the beach- plum to grow in any soil, no matter how poor. He has grown plums without stones; the canning cherry which thoughtfully leaves its stone on the ii2 LUTHER BURBANK tree; the quince with the flavor of a pineapple, and mellow enough to be eaten raw; corn which bears many ears instead of one or two.
