Synopsis
Excerpt from Year Book of the Rose Society of Ontario, 1927
We hear complaints on every Side of the way modern science has complicated our existence, of speculations as to whether man's nervous system will ever become adjusted to such speed and noise. There IS nothing better for tired eyes and ears, nothing more soothing for jarred nerves than the making of a rose garden. It will help us to recover something of that tranquility of spirit we find so charming in the old writers; make us feel that Abraham Cowley's ambition was a wise one, when he wrote, back in the year 1667 -i never had any desire so strong, and so like to covetousness, as that one I have had always, that I might be master at last of a small house and a large garden and there dedi cate the remainder of my life to the culture of it and study of nature. And there (with no desire beyond my wall), whole and entire to lie.
