86 HOME FRUIT MARKETS. 



varieties of fruit ; as the knowledge of how to bud a rose briar, has 

 introduced many of the most beautiful roses into Herefordshire 

 cottage gardens. 



Landlord and tenant are alike interested in the utmost 

 development of our home industries. The greatest attention must 

 be paid to the special products of every district. Great competition 

 must be met by high cultivation, by economy, and by intelligent 

 persevering industry. The land must be managed, if not in the 

 letter, yet in the economic spirit of John Stuart Mill, who pointed, 

 as an illustration, to the cabbage of the French proprietor, so 

 carefully dug round, watered, and manured j so individualised, in 

 short, as though the whole profit of the farm centred in that one 

 single vegetable. By thus paying greater attention to minute 

 details, the farm may become, what it ought to be, in these days of 

 competitive agriculture, in both hemispheres — a duplicate of the 

 garden on a large scale. 



A flask of prime Cider is the crowning enjoyment, in 

 Tennyson's charming description in " The Picnic^'' : — 



" There on a slope of orchard, Francis laid 



A damask napkin, wrought with horse and hound ; 

 Brought out a dusky loaf that smelt of home. 

 And, half cut down, a pasty costly made. 

 Where quail and pigeon, lark and leveret lay, 

 Like fossils of the rock, with golden yolks 

 Liibedded and injellied ; last with these 

 A flask of Cider from his father's vats 

 Prime, which I knew ; and so we sat and ate."
