"Others, again, amongst whom I number myself, love 

 not only the lore of flowers, and the sight of them and the 

 fragrance of them, and the growing of them, and the pick- 

 ing of them and the arranging of them, but also inherit 

 from Father Adam a natural relish for tilling the ground 

 from whence they were taken and to which they shall 

 return."
