The Importance of Detail in Life

Edmund Morris: Edison gave detailed instructions to his gardener for a new property he bought in Florida. He ordered 90 different fruit trees including figs, mangoes, mulberries, alligator pears, plums, peaches, apricots, persimons,. and as many orange trees of best variety as will go on the end of the house plot. There should be a banana bed 20 feet square, a thousand pineapple plants and a lemon hedge. If you cannot procure the regular lemon seed elsewhere, raise the lemon slips yourself from seeds found in the lemon. It's just what we need in making the new dynamo.
