About This Item
Santa Rosa: The Society, 1913. Magazine. Fragmentary or trial-balloon version of v.1 n.1 with a number of blanks that will be illustrated as this first issue takes shape. Not only a rare exemplar of the magazine, it was superseded! - Terminal leaf announces that "The Titles of the Remaining Chapters of Volume I Are..&c". The initial five pages are unpaginated and introductory; these followed by pp.107-175 (texts alternating with aforementioned blanks) and the inclusion of an excellent color-photo of a pitcher plant, fullpage and tipped-on, shown to illustrate a textual point (no, Burbank did not engineer the pitcher plant). Item apparently is the first state of the first launch of the newsletter/journal. - Condition: front cover has suffered a deep vertical crease, some lesser creasings, short marginal tears, and mild dust-soil. Cover- and text-stocks are acidic and quite toned, and will turn fragile. Currently, item is handleable and a better-than "reading-copy" Burbank --the California horticulturalist and agnostic tinkerer with genetics. The blanks when reified as a full-fledged copy of "Vol. One No. One" will demonstrate the steps to creating a "pink daisy
