YOUR HOBBY 
The production of Vegetables is an 
achievement in which anyone may derive

is given to the Vegetable Garden as a 
source of exercise, we will say that there 
are more doctors and other professional 
men planting home gardens than any 
other class of men. 
A doctor knows the value of such ex- 
ercise and prefers it to golf and other 
methods of exercising.

younger days, it will pay you to make 
gardening your hobby.
