"What a very dainty little shrub is the pink Escallonia donard seedling and the brighter pink E. edinburghii. They both make the most delightful wall shrubs and for those mixed bowls of flowers that so many women favour for table decoration nowadays the blooms are invaluable. You will find these escallonias most useful summer blooming shrubs for a rather hot, dry position." "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, February 1937.
