Burbank introduced over 800 new strains and varieties of plants including the Russet Potato, July Elberta peach, and Santa Rosa plum. A spiritual man, a close friend of Thomas Edison and Henry Ford, Burbank's work went far beyond what the science of his day believed possible. "The secret of improved plant breeding, apart from scientific knowledge, is love. "While I was conducting experiments to make 'spineless' cacti, I often talked to the plants to create a vibration of love. 'You have nothing to fear,' I would tell them. 'You don't need your defensive thorns. I will protect you.' Gradually the useful plant of the desert emerged in a thornless variety." Luther Burbank (1849-1926) From the Swallowtail Garden Seeds collection of botanical images. We hope you will enjoy these images as much as we do.
