private property did not necessarily
embrace great utility corporations,

be secure IN his farm, his home. his
Government bonds and his other pos
sessions.

were indorsed.

Let US not be too frivolous or smart.
There is really something very odd on
gardens in the book. 1t is too long to
paste in here and, besides, the mucilage
that we get nowadays is non-stickable. But
it seems gardens have played an important
part in the history of humanity from the
celebrated Garden of Eden to Castle Gar
den. Pushkin, Lermontov, Mickiewicz,
Horace and Catullus have celebrated in
song and story their gardens, the author
tells US. Voltaire said somewhere, "Young
man, cultivate your garden" Balzac said,

not behind a Central Park bush. Swift
cried, "Give me a garden and 1 care not
