 Peas or French Beans to sell now is in luck. Both 

 of these vegetables have sold well during the 

 season— especially the latter — and their prices have

 also going high at the present time. Vegetable 

 Marrows have been cheap dining the season, but 

 lately they have reached in or about five times 

 their former prices.
