"These eight volumes are not a compilation from the works or words of others, but a description of some of the results of actual work for the past fifty years among millions of living plants, including almost every one known to growers and many thousand species never seen in cultivation.. There is a great amount of literature on the subjects, much of it theoretical only, or compilations of actual experimental work. This work, if carried on extensively, requires constant daily and hourly attention, and these volumes have been most written on paper pads during the occassional wakeful hours of night.. Notwithstanding the fact that those who are making history seldom have time to record it, these records have been made for the benefit of those who follow, and it is hoped that this partial description of actual, vital, important, productive, and successful work may prove of unusual value to those who have not had any similar fortunate experience, but would be guided in the road to success." - From pages 17 through 20, Luther Burbank, 1920.

	BURBANK, LUTHER How Plants are Trained to Work for Man - Complete in 8 Volumes New York, P.F. Collier & Son Company. 1921. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. "These eight volumes are not a compilation from the works or words of others, but a description of some of the results of actual work for the past fifty years among millions of living plants, including almost every one known to growers and many thousand species never seen in cultivation.. There is a great amount of literature on the subjects, much of it theoretical only, or compilations of actual experimental work. This work, if carried on extensively, requires constant daily and hourly attention, and these volumes have been most written on paper pads during the occassional wakeful hours of night.. Notwithstanding the fact that those who are making history seldom have time to record it, these records have been made for the benefit of those who follow, and it is hoped that this partial description of actual, vital, important, productive, and successful work may prove of unusual value to those who have not had any similar fortunate experience, but would be guided in the road to success." - From pages 17 through 20, Luther Burbank, 1920. Many dozens of colour plates throughout. Volume titles include: Plant Breeding; Grafting and Budding; Fruit Improvement; Small Fruits; Gardening; Useful Plants; Flowers; Trees/Biography/Index.
