Luther Burbank, his methods and discoveries and their practical application; prepared from his original field notes covering more than 100,000 experiments made during forty years devoted to plant improvement . i£ E to t? RECORDING THE EXPERIMENTS graphic record of the exact size and form of thefruit. The main character of the inside of eachfruit may be indicated, and by adding the dateof ripening, the time of its earliest and mediumripening, the number of days it will remain ingood condition upon the tree, its keeping qualitywhen packed for shipment, and its susceptibilityto the ravages of insect pests and fungoid disease,we have on a single sheet a fairly complete andvery valuable record, together with a graphic rep-resentative of the size and form of the fruit itself. Record will be made in the same way in suc-cessive seasons of fruit from the same tree, withadditional record of the appearance of any newcharacters or qualities. Comparison of the rec-ords will show whether the fruit on the youngtrees has increased in size, improved in quality,or varied in time of ripening from year to unfrequently the record of the third yearshows a very considerable increase of goodqualities
