Experiences of a Successful New Jersey Market 



Gardener, 



By C. C. Hulsart, Mattawan, N. J. 



Mr. Chainnan, Ladies and Gentlemen: 



Having been here during the greater part of your meet- 

 ing, this story occurred to me. It was the case of some wed- 

 ding invitations that were sent out. One of the contracting 

 parties was a widow, and the man had been twice a widower. 

 The invitations were on a post-card, addressed to the guests, 

 and said, "This is no amateur performance.'' '(Laughter). 

 Neither has been this meeting. 



Friends, I have come to you from the state of trusts and 

 mosquitoes. I have been asked to talk on the experiences of 

 a market gardener, and truck farmer. After listening to what 

 we have for nearly two days it will be a radical change of 

 diet. Whether it will be acceptable or not remains to be seen. 

 I propose to talk for what little time I have on fundamental 

 principles. The principles of market gardening and truck 

 farming will apply just as well in Connecticut as in New Jer-
