And though he left more than a miltion words of explanation an.d exposition of the former all that remains of that personal self is contained in one volume. As his coJlaborator Wilbur Hall puts it in his preface, "But what he felt and thought, what he aspired to and how much he achieved, the things he saw in life and learned from experience, what disappointments were his and what triumphs-the true picture of the gallant, I ova b I e, kindly, shrewd, whimsical Luther Burbank will never be limned in his own words, except in these pages." This in itself is enough to make us pause. Enough to make us feel that here is a message worthy of our time and our appreciation. And it is. lt is truly a "Harvest of the Years" because in it are revealed that more subtle harvest which Luther Burbank gathered not only from the millions of plants and trees he tended hut from his varied experiences and from the numberless kinds of people with whom he came in contact. From all this he garnered wisdom about life and the purposes of life-a kindh·. gentle, delicate wisdom. And th(.,, with humility, he has tried to pass on to us. A humility which is an integral part of anyone who sees deeply, a humility which. imparted . to us, must give a finer awareness . of the values of life.
