    "And now we come to the Prostantheras...Well, these mint bushes are the most charming flowering shrubs one could wish to possess...Pinching back the strong-growing branches all through the growing season is ever so much better than resorting to heavy pruning once a year - the plants don't like it."

    "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, April 1938.
