Observations. — The weather for the season being particularly open and 

 favourable to the continued growth of vegetables, we have, to the present 

 period, an excellent supply, which has been improved by the rain some time 

 since; preceding which, from the prevalence of dry weather, our supplies had 

 somewhat diminished, and prices, as you may observe on comparing the lists, 

 a little improved ; but to-day the supply is again more than equal to the de- 

 mand, with a considerable decrease in value. Observations have appeared 

 from time to time on the peculiarity of the season, in the country newspapers ; 

 as a remarkable instance, they quote the appearance of violets in the open air. 

 For the last month or six weeks, we have had an abundant supply in bunches. 

 I consider it to be the Russian violet of the gardens (a variety of the Fiola 

 odorata), which is the same as the Violette de quatre saisons of the French ;
