Luther Burbank (1849-1926), an American horticulturalist and author, gained a reputation for selective breeding that yielded more than 800 new fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants. In 1875, Burbank followed family from Massachusetts to Santa Rosa, California, attracted by a longer growing season.
