Overview

In volume II we listen to Mr. Burbank as he tells us just how he produced nine of this most striking transformations.

There are many Burbank productions which may be rated as much more important to the world than those treated in this volume; but these have been selected because they reflect, better than others, the various ways in which his methods have been combined to produce final, fixed results; thus serving to give the reader a complete exposition of working detail in the smallest possible space.
