I can't tell you the precise date this fold-out was printed. I've driven or bused by the gardens' one-time locale a million times, but never saw them. They were torn down in 1968, twenty years before I ever set foot on the West Coast. Apartment buildings are in the space now.

"Samplers have been symbols of home for hundreds of years. Many a young girl has had her first sewing lesson by filling in a sampler pattern, and often these works of household art have been passed on from generation to generation, becoming cherished heirlooms. Many samplers have become collectors' items..."
