Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of Luther Burbank and His Plant School Educational methods have changed. Fifty years ago the education of children was on the theory that they were all naturally bad, while to - day it has dawned upon teachers and also the public that there are both good and bad ten dencies in every child, and that education should not at tempt to make children over according to rule. They should be led to love and cherish and cultivate the best tendencies, while the undesirable ones will fade from neglect and lack of encouragement. Mother Nature teaches many a lesson not to be learned in school. True education should pro mote a happy, development along the natural tendencies rather than provide punishments for not bending to arbi trary rules to be obeyed. To be sure, discipline is needed, but it should be along natural lines of development, rather than by the too arbitrary Thou shalt, and thou shalt not. A child should fully realize that greatly upon his own actions and character depend his own happiness or punish ment, thus fewer laws and rules would be necessary. Mod ern educational methods rely more upon a fundamental love of nature and of our fellow-travellers through life than upon force, punishment, and the ability to learn certain generally accepted forms of words and phrases.

Book Description
The wide-ranging and delightful history of celebrated plant breeder Luther Burbank and the business of farm and garden in early twentieth- century America At no other time in history has there been more curiosity or concern about the food we eat-and genetically modified foods, in particular, have become both pervasive and suspect. A century ago, however, Luther Burbank's blight-resistant potatoes, white blackberries, and plumcots-a plum-apricot hybrid-were celebrated as triumphs in the best tradition of American ingenuity and perseverance. In his experimental grounds in Santa Rosa, California, Burbank bred and cross-bred edible and ornamental plants-for both home gardens and commercial farms-until they were bigger, hardier, more beautiful, and more productive than ever before. A fascinating portrait of an American original, The Garden of Invention is also a colorful and engrossing tale of the intersection of gardening, science and business in the years between the Civil War and the Great Depression.
