"Hold my calls"

Gentleman Gardener Keith Thompson rides his trusty John Deere to the photo shoot. Nancy has dressed Keith up in period costume to snap some promotional photographs that will be used in future advertising media. Gardeners in the early 1900's wore a tie and vest when working on the grounds and gardens. Unfortunately Keith was not able to find a pair of steel toed oxfords to match.
