demand for vegetables of all kinds to supply the wants of distant 
communities. In the early spring the first vegetables are supplied 
from around the city of New Orleans, and, later from points along 
the Raii Roads, each following the other in regular ‘order as they go 
North, with a fresher article. Each gets his turn, and to be successful, 
the grower’s aim must be to raise the best, and be among the 
earliest in his section,—find out what suits his soil best, and where are 
the best markets.— Pack carefully in nice packages, and ship to a 
reliable merchant. There are buyers at most all shipping points and 
a sharp competition among them, and the grower can get fair prices 
from them generally, and often more than he could realize if shipped 
on his own account. 
‘It is a mistake for a grower to try to raise everything. Concentrate 
your fire on a few things, and learn to grow them well. Sort them 
carefully; don’t try.to make the good seil the bad; find out the wants 
of different markets, and aim to be among the first to supply the de- 
mand, and you will make money, but slip shad ways wont pay.”’
