217<p class="from_wysiwyg"><em><strong>THE GARDEN OF INVENTION</strong></em><br />A century ago, Luther Burbank was the most famous gardener on the planet. Burbank had learned the secrets of breeding and crossbreeding ordinary plants from farm and garden until they were tastier, hardier, and more productive than ever before. His name was inseparable from a cornucopia of new and improved plants &mdash; fruits, nuts, vegetables, and flowers &mdash; for both home gardens and commercial farms and orchards.<br /><br /><em>The Garden of Invention</em> revisits a time when agriculture was moving west across the continent, when plant inventors were popular heroes, and when the public clamored for new varieties that would extend seasons, increase yields, look beautiful, or simply &mdash; and wonderfully &mdash; be different from anything seen before.</p>
