siderable local consumption, and of the traffic on other 

 lines of railway. 



In Northamptonshire there has been a large in- 

 crease in the acreage of market-gardening on what was 

 formerly arable or grass land. Currants, cut flowers, 

 tomatoes, etc., are extensively sent from Eaton Bray 

 (near Stanbridge Ford) all the year round to Glasgow, 

 Manchester, and other large towns, and asparagus and 

 various kinds of fruit are sent regularly from Lord's 

 Bridge, a good deal going as far North as Glasgow. 



At Codsall (Staffordshire) an extensive nursery of 

 about 100 acres has been established, and large quan- 

 tities of flowers, tomatoes, etc., are now raised on 

 land previously used for purely agricultural purposes 

 a development which is merely typical of a great 

 deal that is going on in other districts as well.
