Is There Any Progress In Horticulture? If Not, It Is Dead, Uninspiring. We Cannot Live In The Past Good As It Is; We Must Draw Our Inspiration From The Future.

Extension Work Is Not Exhortation. Nor Is It Exploitation Of The People, Or Advertising Of An Institution, Or Publicity Work For Securing Students. It Is A Plain, Earnest, And Continuous Effort To Meet The Needs Of The People On Their Own Farms And In The Localities.

A Garden Requires Patient Labor And Attention. Plants Do Not Grow Merely To Satisfy Ambitions Or To Fulfill Good Intentions. They Thrive Because Someone Expended Effort On Them.

One Does Not Begin To Make A Garden Until He Wants A Garden. To Want A Garden Is To Be Interested In Plants, In The Winds And Rains, In Birds And Insects, In The Warm-smelling Earth.
