Buying a 17 acre farm with the inheritance left him at age 21 by his father, Burbank got to work on producing better strains of plants and trees to increase yield, promote disease resistance, resist environmental changes, and resistance to insects and fungus'. Burbank cross pollinated all the flowers of plants by hand and planted all the resulting seeds. From these seeds, he then selected the most promising plants to cross with other ones to ensure the best was achieved. From the book, "The Cavalcade of America," the unknown author refers to Burbank as the "Plant Wizard" and writes of the many lasting accomplishments he made in regards to the field of agriculture. (Cavalcade, 1946, pg 129). Many scientist dispute Burbanks and his work due to the documentation kept was not in line with 'proper' scientific documentation.

Conclusion

The opinion of this researcher is that while Mendel studied hybridization and possibly did some of the first recombination experiments, Burbank deserves to be accredited with the many experiments he did in find viable crosses and graft to promote better strains of plants and trees. Burbank discovered numerous (over 800) varieties of flower's, grasses, grains, vegetables, cacti, and fruit trees still in use today and set the groundwork for many scientists and agriculturalist to be able to incorporate new species of plants. The question of who did the first genetic recombinant experiments in paints cannot be answered easily in this researcher's opinion. Both Mendel and Burbanks made substantial and important discoveries and breakthroughs in the names of genetics......
