The authority on plant wizardry is just now a busy “infildel”; in fact, too busy to pay any | more than cursory interest to the four | or five hundred letters of protest, con- demnation, sympathy and praise he s receiving daily as the result of tement that 1y ns are ‘‘tott | ing. g | Just Making Living. Ar. Burbank, fn spite of world fame which makes his name familiar to every school child, must, like any other person, make i living. To make a livelihood and to let the rest of man- kind share in the benefits from his marvelous deveiopment of more beau- tiful flowers and more perfect fruits he fills orders for rare bulbs and seeds from literally all over the world. The new Burbank catalog has been widel distributed and just now the natu alist and his wife are filling orders. Though it was his 77th. the vear just past was one of Mr. Burbank's busiest. His new vear's gift to the world was a wonderful assemblage of new flowers and plants, among which were a_rare blue camassia, a giant cactus flowering zinnia, a new shasta dalsy and new and beautiful asters and gladioliuseg. The naturalist has not turned from plant development to philosophy or religlous studies. His statement of disbellef in religious ideas of which he has no proof was made on request, and in making it he interrupted his work only for an hour or so. When the growing season be- gins again he plans to continue his work of setting and developing rare plants and flowers. His chief regret over having made the statement which has made his home here a storm center is that it was given out during a season when he Is so0 busy filling orders for bulbs and seeds. Plans Making Address. Far from making life miserable for him, he savs the storm he ha: stirred up has made him more happy. He is not especially interested in the local W, C. T. U’s efforts in behal? of his soul, though he plans to take advantage of a pre-arranged speak- ing date at a San Francisco church Sunday to explain his stand on religion and answer his critics. Mr. and Mrs. Burbank are tially home and “small tow: and amidst all the hubbub and flay- ings from religious sources they have gotten a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction from an editorial in their home-town paper supporting the re- liglous beliefs of the great naturalist. evol and {C.
