Klee’s Apparatus for the Magnetic Treatment of Plants

Klee’s Apparatus for the Magnetic Treatment of Plants

 

 

Perhaps fin de siècle Switzerland had its Michigan

with spas for chrysanthemums,

enemas to purge the xylem and phloem

of middle class flora wilting in Bern

 

Can’t you see Frau Klee bringing in her

prized wisteria suffering from asthenia

or that parlor room ficus droopy with chlorosis

to Herr Doktor Kandinsky

for the latest

advances in diathermy or

an hour with his famed, patented

Apparatus for the Magnetic Treatment of Plants?
