LUTHER BURBANK
A TIMELY OONTBADICTION. Tn view of some of the exaggerated statements published in this country in regard to the spineless cactus of- Luther Burbank, statements exposed in these* columns, it is interesting to know, that .at last • Mr Luther Burbank haß found it necessary to come out with a repudiation of the toadies who have sickened the horticultural world -with their, writings about the man and his work" ever since it became known that a sum of money -had come into his control. Mr Burbank is now quoted as'saying:—"The extravagant estimates of ray work have, been the bane of my existence. There has been so much written about me by sensational writers, who know nothing of me or my work. I am not responsible for.all. these things, and anyone "with. any. knowledge of horticulture could discern at once that much of the stuff sent out is nothing but spaoe-writerß' ohaff.".
