Luther Burbank also warned against the use of Tobacco in his book "Partner Of Nature". He had crossed Petunia's with the Tobacco plant. He got tiny Petunias and someone accused him of stunting the Petunia's growth by introducing them to Tobacco :<) Luther Burbank didnt have a real great sense of humor so he goes on and on about this "wag" just didnt get what he was trying to do!

In the book, Edison wrote that cigarettes produce "degeneration of the cells of the brain, which is quite rapid among boys. Unlike most narcotics this degeneration is permanent and uncontrollable. I employ no person who smokes cigarettes." -----Original Message----- From: Ruth - Sacramento@ Mindspring <ruth4527@mindspring.com> To: CAMARIPO-L@rootsweb.com <CAMARIPO-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Saturday, February 10, 2001 9:17 PM Subject: RE: [CAMARIPO] Changing times"CIGARETTES" >How interesting!!!!
