"Cytisus purpurea, that quite low-growing mauve-flowered broom, Š is no trouble to us at Sonning, though we still do not succeed with C. Kewensis, woo it as we may; it's knocked all the conceit out of me!" "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, December 1941. "I've just come in from the garden purring contentedly over the sight of a patch of Cytisus kewensis cuttings planted last winter. It is a remarkably good strike Šit's kewensis we hold our breath over and say 'abracadabra' as we gently insert the cuttings in the soil." "Letters to Garden Lovers", Australian Home Beautiful, July 1942.
