One marked feature of the people, both high and low, is a love for flowers  (Robert Fortune Quotes) These gardens may be called the gardens of the respectable working classes  (Robert Fortune Quotes) Junipers are generally chosen for the latter purpose, as they can be more readily bent into the desired form; the eyes and tongue are added afterwards, and the representation altogether is really good  (Robert Fortune Quotes) Nature generally struggles against this treatment for a while, until her powers seem in a great measure exhausted, when she quietly yields to the power of the art  (Robert Fortune Quotes) Sometimes, as is the case of peach and plum trees, which are often dwarfed, the plants are thrown into a flowering states, and then, as they flower freely year after year, they have little inclination to make vigorous growth  (Robert Fortune Quotes) The main stem was then in most cases twisted in a zigzag form, which process checked the flow of the sap, and at the same time encouraged the production of side branches at those parts of the stem where they were most desired  (Robert Fortune Quotes) The plants are principally kept in large pots arranged in rows along the sides of narrow paved walks, with the houses of the gardeners at the entrance through which the visitors pass to the gardens  (Robert Fortune Quotes) We all know that any thing which retards in any way the free circulation of the sap, also prevents to a certain extent the formation of wood and leaves  (Robert Fortune Quotes) We are told that the first part of the process is to select the very smallest seeds from the smallest plants, which is not at all unlikely, but I cannot speak to the fact from my own observation  (Robert Fortune Quotes) No doubt these rocky islands have suggested the idea worked out in gardens, and they have been well imitated  (Robert Fortune Quotes) Nothing of the kind; they do all these things in their houses and sheds, with common charcoal fires, and a quantity of straw to stop up the crevices in the doors and windows  (Robert Fortune Quotes) The tree was evidently aged, from the size of its stem. It was about six feet high, the branches came out from the stem in a regular and symmetrical manner, and it had all the appearance of a tree in miniature  (Robert Fortune Quotes) This may be done by grafting, by confining the roots, withholding water, bending the branches, or in a hundred other ways which all proceed upon the same principle  (Robert Fortune Quotes) When these suckers had formed roots in the open ground, or kind of nursery where they were planted, they were looked over and the best taken up for potting  (Robert Fortune Quotes)
