"The tansy-leaf hawthorn, Crataegus tanacetifolia, is a delight with its soft grey foliage and those rose red little apple shaped fruits. I'm just longing to get to work with some of these tansy-leaved hawthorns and some huge weathered boulders, on some country property one day with prostrate junipers sprawling at their feet and amongst the boulders. Just those three things, boulders, grey-leaved hawthorns and junipers and what a picture one would have. Moreover, you would never have to do anything about it. That's the sort of gardening I like!"
"Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, June 1941.
