Ma Tzu-ts'ai of HeBei Province was a virtuous man and detested money and politics.His only love was chrysanthemums.One year he went to Nanking to buy some new specimens as his own flowers were dying.On the way he made friends with T'ao San-lang and Huang Ying,his sister.Ma discovered they were skilled chrysanthemum growers and wanted to move to a quiet place in the North,so he offered,"Though I am poor,I do have a few rooms in my house you could live in if you don't find them too humble."
