Itaque sub urbe colere hortos late expedit, sic violaria ac rosaria, item multa quae urps recipit, cum eadem in longinquo praedio, ubi non sit quo deferri possit venale, non expediat colere.
And so it is profitable near a city to have gardens on a large scale; for instance, of violets and roses and many other products for which there is a demand in the city; while it would not be profitable to raise the same products on a distant farm where there is no market to which its products can be carried.
