Excerpt from Luther Burbank's Spineless Cactus In these modern times a man must confine his efforts to a single occupation if it is to be well done. To be an extensive and successful producer of new forms of plant life and a successful merchant on a large scale is perhaps beyond the limit of any one man and I have found it necessary either to confine myself wholly to selling my new varieties of plant life or discontinue development work. Greatly preferring to devote my entire energies to the production of new varieties, I have disposed of the sales department to a corporation which will manage, market and carry on exclusively the business of selling the various new forms of plant life which I have evolved. Many Hundreds Of These Productions, Absolutely New To Mankind And More Useful And Valuable Than Those Now Known, Are Already Complete And Await Introduction. This corporation, The Luther Burbank Company, is the sole distributer of the Luther Burbank Horticultural productions, and from no other source can any one be positively assured of obtaining genuine Luther Burbank Production. To give each purchaser a guarantee of receiving original Burbank creations, this corporation has originated a trademark. The name "Burbank" has been so indiscriminately and fraudulently used that it has been in danger of losing, in a measure, its true significance. Every package of seed and every plant sent out from this corporation will have this trademark on it for your protection. All fraudulent uses of the same will be vigorously prosecuted and any information that will give knowledge of its misuse will be welcome.

Luther Burbank's Amazing Spineless Cactus This is the most complete anthology of material on Burbank's famous Spineless Cactus which he developed early in the Twentieth century. It incudes 5 complete booklets/catalogues published by Burbank from 1909-1915. Filled with numerous details and a wealth of photos, you will find no more exhastive volume on this subject. Over 160 pages, carefully scanned and corrected from the rare original documents this collection is sure to please the student of horticulture or stockman looking for a low-water source of cattle fodder. Learn how they were developed, where they can be grown climate-wise, how to grow and propagate, the fodder and fruiting varieties, and so much more. 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), the super-popular Santa Rosa Plum 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 (available at Google Play).

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.

An explanation of how an invasive cactus from Mexico became a source of income in Africa While there are many studies of the global influence of crops and plants, this is perhaps the first social history based around a plant in South Africa. Plants are not quite historical actors in their own right, but their properties and potential help to shape human history. Plants such as prickly pear tend to be invisible to those who do not use them, or at least on the peripheries of people's consciousness. This book explains why they were not peripheral to many people in the Eastern Cape and why a wild and sometimes invasive cactus from Mexico, that found its way around the world over 200 years ago, remains important to African women in shacks and small towns. The central tension at the heart of this history concerns different and sometimes conflicting human views of prickly pear. Some accepted or enjoyed its presence; others wished to eradicate it. While commercial livestock farmers initially found the plant enormously valuable, they came to see it as a scourge in the early twentieth century as it invaded farms and commonages. But for impoverished rural and small town communities of the Eastern Cape it was a godsend. In some places it still provides a significant income for poor black families. Debates about prickly pear - and its cultivated spineless variety - have played out in unexpected ways over the last century and more. Some scientists, once eradicationists, now see varieties of spineless cactus as plants for the future, eminently suited to a world beset by climate change and global warming. The book also addresses central problems around concepts of biodiversity. How do we balance, on the one hand, biodiversity conservation with, on the other, a recognition that plant transfers - and species transfers more generally - have been part of dynamic production systems that have historically underpinned human civilizations. American plants such as maize, cassava and prickly pear have been used to create incalculable value in Africa. Transferred plants are at the heart of many agricultural systems, as well as hybrid botanical and cultural landscapes, sometimes treasured, that are unlikely to be entirely reversed. Some of these plants displace local species, but are invaluable for local livelihoods. Prickly Pear explores this dilemma over the long term and suggests that there must be a significant cultural dimension to ideas about biodiversity. The content of Prickly Pear is based on intensive archival research, on interviews conducted in the Eastern Cape by the authors, as well as on their observations of how people in the area use and consume the plant.
