The book is, in essence, an autobiography of one of the most interesting minds that this country has produced.
It is also the complete embodiment of a singularly attractive and stimulating personality, of equal interest for the humanistand the student of nature.
Luther Burbank was a plant-breeder and left behind a million words of journals and notebooks, in which he set down something of the processes and results of his magical dealings with fruits and flowers, autobiographical details of his early life, records of his friendships with noteable men such as Edison, Paderewski, John Muir etc. and finally, thoughts one life and the end of life.
Some months before his death, Mr. Burbank, aided by Wilbur Hall, had begun to put this into form for a book, which has been caried on and completed by Mr. Hall in a volume entitles 'The Harvest of the Years'.
With several photographs in black and white.
