I 1 6 FRUIT FARMING 



Bilberries, Cranberries, and Watercresses are 

 crops which those having especially suitable damp 

 places could cultivate ; and even the Heath could be 

 grown for broom-making with advantage; but these 

 matters are rather outside the range of the present 

 little work. 



Tomatoes are on the border-land between fruit and 

 vegetables, and are a paying crop under glass culture. 

 Many excellent manuals are to be had on this subject. 

 Catch crops in the open are sometimes very lucrative — 

 a friend made ;£40 from a quarter of an acre — but the 

 disease has to be reckoned with, and a fine warm 

 summer is indispensable ; in cold years they prove a 

 failure.
