George Ball's NYT op-ed article

**"Maryann Whitman" m*@comcast.net**

I would like very much to initiate a discussion on George Ball's article in
the Times. Betty Mackey has said she thought it was excellent. May I ask
specifically what aspect you agreed with? 

I expect there are many strong opinions out there. I too have strong
opinions but I don't intend to rile anyone. I'm asking for opinions.

Last Tuesday I was interviewed on Nellie Neal's radio show in Mississippi 
and one of my topics was trends and the Philadelphia Flower Show, so I 
picked up on some of the themes George Ball had mentioned.

Also I saw George's excellent editorial on native plants in the New York 
Times -- Saturday I think.
