Gsmplimentary Banquet to Luthet Borbank It Is time that Californians knew Mr. Burbank, and the State Board of Trade has made this banquet that they may meet him. It is a pleasure to see here farmers, actual tillers of the soil, who use the and pruning hook, from nine counties in the State, come to meet this student and associate of Nature, who has added wealth to our fields and orchards and beauty to our gardens and bowers, by guiding to perfec- tion and to ne^v forms the fruit of vine and tree and plant, and even the humble weeds of the commons. Mr. Mills: Gentlemen : We now reach the last toast of the even- ing. The work of Luther Burbank was called to the atten- tion of the Carnegie Institution by a horticultural society of Philadelphia. It will be a matter of regret to this com- pany that the initiative in this important matter was not taken by California. California owes a debt of gratitude to the Philadelphia society which manifested this thoughtful- ness. It not be assumed from this fact, however, that appreciation on the part of the people of the State for the work and the personal worth of the distinguished guest of the evening is wanting. Tlie toast is one which appeals to State pride and evokes sentiments of State patriotism. The last toast of the evening is: ''Our Neighbor," and is assigned to Albert G. Burnett, Judge of the Superior Court of California for the count}* of Sonoma, who, as a citizen of Santa Rosa, is a friend and neighbor of our distinguished guest. I take pleasure in presenting Judge Burnett, who will address you. . 37 . ..
