Excerpt from Common Sense Gardens How to Plan and Plant Them
The history of the world was begun in a garden, and to judge by the temper and sentiment of the rising generation it is likely to end in one.
Every year more and more people seek the country, not only in Summertime when the lanes and byways are aglow with flowers and merry with the songs of birds, but also in Winter when Nature has "wrapped the draperies of her couch about her and laid down to pleasant dreams." As our forefathers knew, we are beginning to learn that the lasting pleasures of life are not to be found in the teeming cities, but in the fields and woods within sound of the voice of Nature who is forever calling her children home.
