Luther Burbank Boeken

"All teachers who are such from love of their work have felt the need of some pleasing yet practical reader which while providing everyday work should be at the same time so constructed as to be in kindly sympathy and accord with the childs mind. The three prominent educators of long experience who have collaborated with the publishers of this work, while quite faithfully delineating the methods employed in producing newer and far more valuable plants, trees, fruits, and flowers, have confined themselves strictly to the facts, and have described the methods in a most pleasing form for the child.""With the sincere hope that this book will help teachers and pupils to admire each other in their mutual love of nature, I give it my welcome, being fully assured of its abundant success."Luther Burbank
