To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Burbank does not attempt the enlargement of a flower just for the sake of making it bigger than some other flower, or even that it may be called bigger than any of its ancestors. Bigness, as such, has no cham- pion in him. He makes a flower larger than its ancestors when that flower has certain characteristics which make increased size 83 NEW CREATIONS IN PLANT LIFE desirable. A lesser man might, with the same power in his hands, breed flowers merely to be huge without regard to the flower's pl...an in nature or the fitness of things. Not so with Mr. Burbank. He has as great a delight in intensifying the color or deepening the fra- grance of a violet as he has in making some flower with distinct decorative possibilities more noble of bloom. He might, through years of selection, produce, no doubt, a violet much larger in size then any now known, but he would as soon think of preserving some ugly monstrosity of plant life as of thus disturbing the life habit of one of the most exquisite of flowers.
