cities is now described by the eloquent auc-
tioneer as just the place for an excellent
market garden, and most purchasers, en-
tering on such places, look with more or
less dependence to the sale Of some pro-
duce of this sort in market for their first
ready money. But for one that gets back
his expenditures made for that purpose, to
say nothing of his time and neglect of other
interests, thousand are crippled beyond
recovery by the unsuccessful experiment.
For want of o guide like this, they begin
without any knowledge of the conditions
indispensable to success, or any conception
of the many difficulties to be surmounted.
g For want of this information hundreds
have failed, after years of toll and priva-
ton, and no one would be safe to start in
the business IN the manner it's carried on IN
Neao York with a capital of less than
$500 to the acre. = The first season
rarely pays expenses, and the capital
named is all absorbed in horses, wagons,
glass, and manures."
But, happily for Virginia, it is not neces-
sary to work the business as it is carried
on in New York; and it is precisely this
difference that viii shortly bring the truck
men, almost in a body, to climate in
which sashes and other means of forcing
and protection are needed to an extent so
much smaller that third of the capital
only will be needed to carry on the same
business. In my own practice, I have
made my sashes do double duty. i
The number when l started being fifty, in
creasing to the present time, when / have

few men who make a profitable business
