 his ideal country home, surrounded by his family, enjoying 

 the fruits of his labor, he may well say: "I am a king, for 

 the independence of my occupation makes me so. I help to 

 feed the masses, to fill the poor man's basket, bringing abun- 

 dance to his door, and to the man of wealth, the delightful 

 luxuries for his banquet table. But greater than all, and above 

 all else, I am enabled to live a better life, to stand among men, 

 because out of the generous soil, with hard, honest toil I produce 

 enough for my living and my home." 



This then I give you as my ideal New England market garden 

 and home.
