...dropped the nursery business. He performed millions of experiments in plant-breeding, producing - besides thousands of poor variations, fruitless hybrids, unfixed types and failures - about 150 "creations", of which the most celebrated are the Shasta daisy, thornless cactus (cattle-fodder), mammoth blackberry, mammoth asparagus, everbearing mammoth artichoke and rhubarb, and the Burbank plum.
