Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual on the Propagation and Cultivation of the Paeony
I am the child of a King. My hoe is a magician's wand. I touch the earth, and lo, thousands of forms of loveliness spring up to salute me. When I work, there thrills through my soul the a'che and eagerness of the overshadowing love to give a revelation of His gifts of beauty to the world.
The good Lord never has had a chance to glorify and cheer this somber earth.
I love to work, to get near the heart of good old Mother Nature and go into her inner temple and help her work her miracles. We tread on the verge of a vast empire, whose splendors are just coming to our vision. We have reached a point where we can do great things. The parents of our great families of ?owers are ready to give us a new progeny.
