He had some interesting 　39 　concerning planting. He belonged to the "No pains, no gains" 　40 　of plant growing. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked 　41 　. He said, "Watering plants will spoil them, and if you water them, each successive tree 　42 　will grow weaker and weaker. So you have to make things 　43 　for them and weed out the weak ones."
