    "The grey foliage and the small white flowers of Anthemis aeizoon thrill me. I bought it under the name of Achillea ageratifolia many years ago now, and am always terrified of losing it. Of course, the only thing to do with a treasure when you have only *?* is to hurry and propagate it by some means and have several in various parts of the garden."

    "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, November 1941.
