-THE HERALD reporter glanced into
the market garden wagon Of r. S. Nor
gan, this morning, and was delighted.
Everything was fixed up in bundles and
in perfect order. There were new beats,
radishes, spinach, turnips, lettuce, peas
and other vegetables. That it paid Mr..
Morgan to have his stock in attractive
shape was evidenced by the very brief
time that elapsed before the contents Of
his wagon were transferred to the boxes
and shelves Of the green grocer. Other
market gardners would do well to pattern
after Mr.. Morgan in the handling Of their
vegetables.
