Her garden is near Conshohocken, outside Philadelphia. There she has slowly gathered a collection of plants of every sort, learning with experience which were best scented. She now grows almost two hundred roses, most of them old, and of all fragrant plants, these are surely dearest to her.She has recorded many in pencil.My present garden by a brook is close to Long Island Sound in Westport, Connecticut.Despite distance, Léonie and I a re both in the southern part of Zone 6, and so grow plants under about the same conditions.In botanical nomenclature, we have followed, as far as possible, Hortus Second."--Preface ; FINE/FINE.
