“The culture of flowers is a pleasure that improves alike the mind and heart. It makes every true lover of these beautiful creations of infinite love wiser, purer and nobler. It teaches industry, patience, faith and hope.We plant and sow in hope and patiently wait in the faith that the harvest will never fail. When failures come they merely serve to teach us to study more carefully and obey more strictly nature’s laws. Thus we gain wisdom and then success as the result of our failures.”
