IN CONCLUSION 



parsley, for which a more general demand exists. 

 The rarer sorts, such as asparagus, cucumbers, 

 cauliflowers and tomatoes, being still regarded as 

 special luxuries, can be freely disposed of only in 

 the large cities. 



That the cultural directions foregoing and 

 other matter presented leave much to be learned, 

 and are, taken by themselves, only partially ade- 

 quate to the guidance of the unskilled cultivator, 

 is only what must be true of any similar manual. 

 It would be hard to name a subject open to wider 

 research and capable of greater advances than is 

 that of plant-growing, even when limited to its 

 most practical aspect. 



SUCCESS IN MARKET GARDENING demands 

 intelligence, diligence and natural aptitude. Per- 

 sonal diligence and natural aptitude are matters 

 outside the scope of any manual; but an intelli- 

 gent cultivation of the various crops under all the 

 varying conditions of the business can, of course, 

 be promoted greatly by referring to the experi- 

 ence acquired by those who have succeeded in it.
