Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luther Burbank's 1911 Plant catalog This fascinating 1911 catalog from Luther Burbank's 'Experiment Farms' shows the results of his initial successes in modifying numerous fruits and other plants. It describes in great detail some of the most famous Burbank developments in horticulture; like his Abundance cherry and several types of Plumcots. It also list numerous decorative plants he either developed or popularized. If you are interested in Burbank's work this early plant catalog is a must-read! Luther Burbank was probably America's most famous botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his lifetime. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He even developed a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot. Student's of Burbank would be wise to also examine the other books he wrote and co-wrote, on his methods and results, including his eight-volume How Plants Are Trained to Work for Man (1921), Harvest of the Years (with Wilbur Hall, 1927), Partner of Nature (1939), and Half-Hour Experiments with Plants.

Download or read book Luther Burbank's Plant Contributions written by W. L. Howard and published by University Press of the Pacific. This book was released on 2000-12-01 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this historical study, conducted over a period of ten years, the purpose has been to search out and record, as far as possible, all the plant contributions made by Luther Burbank of Santa Rosa, California. Burbank was born in Massachusetts in 1849 and died in Santa Rosa in 1926. During his working lifetime (1873-1926) he probably contributed or introduced more plants than any other single American in our history. Many of his productions have been of great importance to horticulture, past and present. Yet no one hitherto has attempted to catalog them all, giving their dates, sources, and descriptions, sketching their history, and estimating their value.Burbank was not connected with a learned institution and indeed had little scientific training. Starting his professional life as a market gardener in Massachusetts about 1870, he attempted to improve his vegetables by crossing varieties. To meet competition he tried to produce earlier-maturing types; but he had little success because he did not then know the importance of continuing his crosses to the second and third generations.His curiosity led him to sow the contents of a single seedpod that he found on a plant of the Early Rose potato, a well-known variety with a red skin. Of the twenty-odd seedlings that resulted, one produced a cluster of tubers that were uniformly large, smooth, and white-skinned. This was sold to a dealer who named it the Burbank. After seventy years, this variety is still grown commercially in some parts of the country; for example, the Delta region of California. In other places, such as southern Idaho, it has been improved slightly and renamed. In Idaho alone it is the basis of a huge industry.Like Thomas Edison, Burbank was a self-made man. In the 1850s and 1860s he attended the village schools and, for one year, the Lancaster Academy. This education, though inadequate, was better than most boys of his day enjoyed. With his fathers death, when Burbank was nineteen, his schooling ended. He had given much thought to the improvement of economic plants. Darwins books, especially Variation of Animals and Plants under Domestication, strongly impressed his youthful mind and showed him how to attain improvements through variation and selection. After his success with the potato, he definitely decided to make plant breeding his lifework.

Download or read book Half-Hour Experiments with Plants written by Luther Burbank and published by Sierra Skies. This book was released on 1922-01-01 with total page 63 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardening tips from the" Plant Wizard" himself Luther Burbank was probably America's most famous botanist, horticulturist and pioneer in agricultural science. He developed more than 800 strains and varieties of plants over his lifetime. Burbank's varied creations included fruits, flowers, grains, grasses, and vegetables. He developed a spineless cactus (useful for cattle-feed) and the plumcot. This booklet was probably produced by the publisher of his multi-volume masterpiece on plants and his specific gardening techniques as a way to sell a less expensive 'teaser' book to entice serious gardeners to buy his more expensive titles. It briefly details some of his famous plant inventions, and his background. It mostly covers his core experimental techniques for hand-pollenization and grafting that enabled him to do the hundreds and hundreds of experiments that led to his numerous plant discoveries. Burbank's most successful strains and varieties include the Shasta daisy, the fire poppy (note possible confusion with the California wildflower, Papaver californicum, which is also called a fire poppy), the "July Elberta" peach, the "Santa Rosa" plum, the "Flaming Gold" nectarine, the "Wickson" plum (named after agronomist Edward J. Wickson), the freestone peach, and the white blackberry. A natural genetic variant of the Burbank potato with russet-colored skin later became known as the Russet Burbank potato. This large, brown-skinned, white-fleshed potato has become the world's predominant potato in food processing. Student's of Burbank and his methods would be wise to also examine the other books he wrote and co-wrote, on his methods and results, including his eight-volume How Plants Are Trained to Work for Man (1921), Harvest of the Years (with Wilbur Hall, 1927), Partner of Nature (1939), and the 12-volume Luther Burbank: His Methods and Discoveries and Their Practical Application.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A look at some of Burbank's experiments and the importance of his pioneer work in hybrids and plant breeding to science. David Starr Jordan (1851-1931) was a noted educator and scientist. Educated at Cornell University, Butler University, and the Indiana University School of Medicine he became the President of Indiana University in 1885, the youngest university president in the nation at the time. Six years later, he accepted the post of President of Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, where he remained, first as president and later as chancellor, until his retirement. Vernon Lyman Kellogg (1867 - 1937) filled the Chair of Entomology at Stanford University during the early the early part of this century and presided over the development of a strong program in entomology that developed there. Dr. Kellogg was an active conservationist, an officer of the Sierra Club, and outdoorsman. Dr. Kellogg's contributions to the entomological community include service as a Charter Member of the Entomological Society of America, now the largest entomological society in the world, and a term as President of that society in 1915.
