The Garden Magazine, March, 1921 
When A Man’s Work 
I is His Hobby 1 
When a trained mind and skilled hands are guided by 
an inborn desire to create — when that creative instinct 
is kindled by a divine love for things that grow — extra- 
ordinary things are bound to result. Quietly working 
out definite ideas in plant breeding, we are indebted 
to a man's love for his work which has given us 
Diener’s Gold Medal Gladioli 
Fruits , Flowers and Cereals 
Gladioli that created a veritable “furore” even in that 
land of floral surprises, California; Petunias that surpass 
in substance, size and brilliancy any other strain; fruits 
and vegetables that approach perfection ; hybrid wheats 
surpassing in yield the highest record yields ever 
gathered. This briefly outlines results achieved at 
Kentfield where Richard Diener combines work, hobby, 
skill and patience to give to the world finer things 
for garden and field.
