LUTHER BURBANK.
HIS WORK TO PROCEED. STAFF WILL CARRY ON. The work of the late Luther Burbank, the famous “plant wizard,” will be carried on in his gardens at Santa Rosa, California, where he worked till death overtook him a few weeks ago. “The spring planting ivill not be discontinued,” said Mrs Burbank, when interviewed. “This is the growing season and my husband’s plans will be carried out.” Members of the Burbank household, including his many expert gardeners, are expert naturalists, and they will be able to propagate every species which Burbank developed,..if not display his wizardry in creating new flowers or vegetables. Stanford University may take over Burbank’s experimental farms at Sebastopol, but in the smaller gardens near the residence the men who served there during Burbank’s life will carry on.
