Burbank, Luther; Hall, Wilbur (editor) Partner of Nature *First Edition*
New York D. Appleton-Century Company 1939 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good Good
315 pages. Index. Black and white photographic plates, including frontis of Luther Burbank. "Here, for the first time, the vast amount of material written by Luther Burbank during his lifetime is compiled and compressed into a single volume... Contains the cream of what the great naturalist had to say about his revolutionary experiments in plant-breeding. It is, too, the story of Burbank's life, for his life was his work, a work which has added so much to the world's knowledge and appreciation of growing things and to its material wealth." - from dust jacket. Book clean and unmarked with very light wear. Tight and square. Average wear to price-clipped dust jacket now preserved in a new archival-grade Brodart cover. A legend in his day, associating with Henry Ford and Thomas Edison, Luther Burbank is woefully unknown by the modern world, which benefits greatly from his efforts to this day. Very nice copy overall. A precious item for students of Burbank.
