Kasandra,

Rilly, old sweat! It sounds like a terribly taxing job for you to keep it up
, but we all have certain likes and disilikes. As Oscar Wilde put it in
respect of works of art: "One cannot say that this or that is bad or good.
One can only say I like this and don't like that."
The terrible truth is that most American gardeners have more money than they
have taste.And they waste their money on coxcombs, nicotianas, petunias,
phlox, carnations, roses, and those AWFUL salvias and DAYLILIES!!
