Since 1875 he has been on his experiment farm mating pistils to stamens in strange concubinage, getting sometimes a beautiful scion, sometimes a grotesque mongrel, sometimes finding a futile barrenness. Last week Naturalist Burbank was elated, greeted pressmen with news of seven miracles of hybridization in plants.
