"we have another son a full Blooded Yankee boy... Mother said to Sarah
if she ever had another one she wanted to name it... we sent to her for
a name... we think it will be L.H. Jun... the boy smart and bright as a
dollar...born the 15 of March and weighed 7 1/2 lbs." Letter from Liberty Hyde Bailey, Sr. to his parents, March 22, 1858.
It is a marvelous planet on which we ride. It is a great
privilege to live thereon, to partake in the journey, and to experience
its goodness. We may co-operate rather than rebel. We should try to
find the meanings rather than to be satisfied only with the spectacles.
My life has been a continuous fulfillment of dreams.-L. H. Bailey. “Words Said About A Birthday”, 1948, Printed on the occasion of Liberty Hyde Bailey's ninetieth birthday celebration
