98 HINTS ON PROFITABLE FRUIT GROWING. 



cheaply erected, or make experiments gradually in 

 melons and tomatoes, maiden-hair ferns, and, perhaps, a 

 few thousand pots of strawberries. After a year or two 

 a vinery or peach-house can be tried, according to the 

 most likely outlet for such produce. There must be a 

 clear understanding of the details of marketing the fruit 

 before the crops come to maturity, so that when ready, 

 the best possible market may be obtained. This is a 

 matter of the utmost importance, too often neglected by 

 growers till too late. Figs, cherries, and choice plums 

 and pears will all be grown under glass, in cheaply- 

 constructed houses, as safe and profitable crops. Messrs. 

 Rivers, Sawbridge worth, are perhaps the most prominent 

 firm in the trade at this work of orchard-house culture.
