He was educated in the common schools and in a local academy. After a short experience in the agricultural implement manufactory he began market gardening and seed growing in a small way, one of his firsts and therefore now best known achievements being the development of the Burbank Potato from a selected seedling of the Early Rose. On October 1, 1875, he removed from Massachusetts to Santa Rosa, California, where he had lived ever since, devoting himself to the production of new forms of plants by crossing and selection. He was a member of various learned societies and for some years was lecturer on Plant Evolution at Stanford University.At the time of his death he had more than 3000 experiments under way and was growing more than 5000 distinct botanical species native to many parts of the world. His work stimulated worldwide interest in plant breeding. Burbank's primary concern was the development of new varieties of plants. His ability to perform experiments that produced plants with favorable characteristics depended more on his sense of intuition than on strict scientific methodology.However, Burbank was influenced by certain scientific theories, such as the formerly accepted theory of the inheritance of acquired characteristics affirmed by Jean de Lamarck and others. Burbank's writings include Luther Burbank: His Methods and Discoveries (12 vol., 1914-15) and How Plants Are Trained to Work for Man (8 vol., 1921).

Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...when grown from seed. On the whole, it is perhaps a little easier to get valuable new varieties of crinums by crossing and selection than with most other bulbous plants, especially the lilies--although there are notable exceptions among the California lilies, some of which cross very readily. Crinum seeds are very curious, in that they vary enormously in size, almost always, even in the same capsule. The pale-greenish bulblike seeds with irregular corrugations may vary from the size of a pea to that of an English walnut. When placed in a graded sequence they present a curious contrast. Yet the plants grown from the smallest seeds are likely to be quite as large and of the same appearance and quality as those grown from the mammoth ones. The seeds of the crinum thus funish a unique link between seeds, buds, and bulbs, suggesting the properties of all these combined. Another peculiarity of the seeds is that they contain so much nutriment and moisture that they may sprout and grow, making plants of considerable size, without access to any moisture except that contained within the seed itself. I have known them to sprout when laid on a shelf, or in envelopes, away from the light and entirely dry; also when sent to me by mail from Australia they sometimes started as seeds and arrived here in envelopes as small growing plants. The crinums have been under cultivation for a long time, but there are many species that have not been experimented with, and the opportunity to introduce new forms from the tropics, A HYBRID CRINUM These enormous, fragrant flowers produced by a seven-pound bulb are one of the results of crossing several tropical species with our native Florida species. The flowers have the size, beauty, and fragrance of the tropical...

Book excerpt: PLANT BREEDING by A. L. HAGEDOORN, Ph. D. Preface: Twenty years ago I wrote my Handbook of Animal and Plant Breeding in the Dutch language, and my Animal Breeding, grew out of the first book. The publishers have asked me to write a plant-breeding book as a companion volume to Animal Breeding with a similar scope and in the same style, and the present work is the result. As a young geneticist, I started my career as a plant-breeding consultant with the French firm of de Vilmorin Andrieux et Cie. After the first years I became more and more absorbed in matters of theoretical genetics, and during the last decade 1 have been chiefly concerned with genetics as applied to man kind and to the breeding of domestic animals. I have, how ever, never quite given up plant-breeding matters, although the only kind of practical plant breeding I have been more directly engaged upon has been the production of sugar-beet seed. This book is certainly not a textbook on Genetics, nor does it pretend to be an exhaustive treatise of everything pertaining to plant breeding. As far as possible, I have throughout the book avoided tht use of technical and scientific terms where plain English would do as well. The book is written in the first place for those who are actively engaged in the ameliora tion of cultivated plants or in the creation of plant novelties. I have quite an extensive experience of correspondence with plant breeders and amateurs, and I have often co-operated with plant breeders during some generations of their material, discussing the results obtained and helping to decide future breeding policy. This co-operation with so many people has 5 6 Plant Breeding helped to give me an understanding of apractical plant breeders difficulties, and it has afforded me some experience in explaining genetic complexities in simple terms. Plant breeding and this is especially true of plant breeding in the larger institutes is subject to fashions, and I have a notion that the preoccupation with higher mathematics is due to a certain extent to one of those fashions. I am convinced that there is very much more in selection, and even in the comparison of the yield of experimental plots, than in matters which can be ap proached only by means of slide-rules and mechanical calculators. Even though the breeding of plants nowadays is chiefly con centrated in the hands of the bigger Institutes and the more important seed firms, there are as appears from my experience large numbers of people interested in plant-breeding subjects. Apart from the host of amateur gardeners and lovers of flowers and fruit, there are thousands of amateur plant breeders, lovers of gardening who sow an occasional bed of dahlia seedlings or who raise a few hundred seedling apple-trees or seedling roses. Since I started as a plant breeder I have become greatly interested in some tropical plant-breeding problems, and as my animal-breeding book seems to have penetrated to all parts of the world, it seems to me that it is necessary to treat of the amelioration of tropical plants as well as of the breeding of plants in our temperate regions. I collected my examples in the five different countries where I have worked. The Dutch book has often been used as a textbook, and in writing the present volume I have taken this possible use into account. It is quite impossible to write a book on plant breeding without going into some technicalgenetical details, and as identical principles and phenomena are met with in both plant and animal breeding, it is unavoidable that some of the first chapters in both books treat of the same matter in much the same way. ..
