Intermediate Crops. 
A market gardener and hardy fruit grower must crop every 
foot of ground at his command. By liberal supplies of manure 
he can minimise the soil exhaustion, and where the cost is not 
prohibitive it pays better to buy manure than to leave ground 
vacant. For this reason such extremely close cropping should 
be adopted as in ordinary gardening would be condemned as 
crowding. Even at the distances already given for fruit trees 
and bushes it is usual at first to utilise the spaces between for 
crops that can be quickly raised and renewed. Near large 
markets, especially in the neighbourhood of London, large 
quantities of spring and early summer flowers or vegetables are 
raised. On the average these pay a fair percentage on the out- 
lay, although much labour is required in cultivation and 
preparing for market. 
Where the grower is not wholly dependent upon the fruit 
crops, he is in a safer position at starting, for then a bad season 
or two may not bring complete ruin, as is sometimes the case 
under the reverse circumstances. Part of the land devoted to 
vegetable culture on the best system of market gardening, such 
as men have to follow when paying X'8 to XlO per acre, should
