About this postcard

A tall Cedar of Lebanon dominates the garden, with a curving path and low flower beds in the foreground. At right stand a two-story frame house and a small glass-roofed structure. The printed caption reads "Cedar of Lebenon in Santa Rosa / Where Luther Burbank is burid" (likely Lebanon and buried). Burbank, the plant breeder known for his Santa Rosa experiments, died in 1926; the tree and grave are in the Luther Burbank Home and Gardens.
