His life is exceedingly simple and well ordered.
Just a little way back on the hills that rise beyond Buda, across the Danube and overlooking wide stretches of beautiful, fertile country, stands Dr.Jokai's summer-home.

His garden is a paradise.

Quantities of roses climb over the unpretentious house, the paths are lined with them; gay beds of poppies and other familiar favorites in our Western gardens, but many new to American eyes, crowd the fruit that grows in delightful abundance everywhere, for Dr.Jokai tends his garden with his own hands, and his horticultural wisdom is only second to his knowledge of the Turkish wars.

His apples, pears, and roses win prizes at all the shows, and his little book, "Hints on Gardening," propagates a large crop of like-minded enthusiasts year after year.

Now, as ever, any knowledge he has he shares with the people.
