Praise for Jane S. Smith's The Garden of Invention:
"A colorful, far-reaching book about the genetic, agricultural, economic and legal issues raised by Burbank's life and legend...Entertaining...[a] well-woven narrative...Impressive." -- Janet Maslin, The New York Times
"A first-class portrait -- witty, seamless and unflaggingly informed....[The Garden of Invention] brings Burbank to pulsing life even as it teaches plant science, patent law, eugenics, evolution and the fate of the prickly pear....I was, from its first sentence to last, a most grateful reader.” -- The Chicago Tribune
"A long overdue volume in food literature -- a great story, well told." -- Mark Kurlansky, author of Cod and Salt
