Is it not inspiring to know that a scientist of Mr. Burbank's fame is so free from the frailties that are induced by a love of money? Luther Burbank is a man who could be rich, but he will not consider the object as worth attaining. He is wholly devoted to making the world more beautiful with flowers, and more pleasant with new and wonderful fruits." While many thousands of dollars have been invested in the production of the new plums, and while they have but barely begun their commercial cours...e both here and in 274 COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF THE WORK foreign countries, they are distinctly threat- ened by Mr. Burbank himself, and this is why it is so very difficult to give any adequate estimate of the commercial value of his new plums and prunes. They are threatened be- cause when his new pitless plum and the pitless prune which will follow are once upon the market, the death -knell of present-day plums and prunes of their class will have been sounded. These new plums and prunes promise to be just as beautiful, just as rich, or richer, just as hardy and prolific, and the place of the pits of former centimes is to be occupied with the meat of the fruit itself.
