Luther Burbank His Methods and Discoveries and Their Practical Application Vol. V
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Vol. V of a twelve Volume set
Unquestionably the greatest work which Mr. Burbank had done in the line of tree fruits had been with plums and that greatest plum of all, the prune. It has been his purpose in this volume, however, to limit in no wise its value to the plum and prune grower; but, because of the number and completeness of the experiments outlined, it is designed to have a broad, practical worth to the producer of other desirable new fruits, or in fact of any other plants.
This book concludes with one of Mr. Burbank's most interesting achievements - the production of the plumcot, a combination between trees of different species, such as men of science had always thought to be impossible.
Some of the chapters are: Four Burbank Plums-And How They Were Made, Plums and Prunes Without Stones and Seeds, Accomplishing the Impossible-The Plumcot and many more.
