The title story concerns an old painter, whose Greek landscape canvases have lost their appeal with the buying public. That changes after a visitor to his garden. Another tale is told about a doubting monk who leads a horticultural rebellion in the far west country. Further skepticism in a third story is punished after a holy man's passing in the Himalayan foothills. There is a touch of the other world in these stories, with unknown hands operating in the modern world.
