COSTLY FRUIT IN ENGLAND.
Large ProAts Of Far.inE U.Aer Glass
startling Statement Abeut
Bic Prices.

At farmers club in Devonshire,
England, not long since, an experienced
gardener in the employ of one of the
nobility made the statement that the
income from ten acres covered with
glass beneath which early vegetables
and fruits were grown would exceed
that from 10000 acres of the best farm
land as ordinarily titled. No doubt that
assertion was extravagant, but it can
be said within the lines OF conservatism
that the Dritisher wasn't off in his, fig
ures more than so per cent. One man
to our knowledge, German gardener,
sold early cucumbers, melons and eel
cry. from one acre under glass-cold
frames-to Leadville and Aspen (Col.)
miners to the amount of from $4,000
to $4,000 a season, says the California
Vineyardist.
In England, where, on account of the
damp, chilly climate. even peach trees
must be trained flat against brick or
stone wall like vines in order to insure
fruit, and where corn cannot be grown,
extremely fancy prices are paid for ex-
ira early fresh fruits and vegetables.
A dollar pound for Strawberries and
IS cents apiece for cucumbers nre only
ordinary prices for these products,
when put upon the markets early. Early
fruits and vegetables bring handsome
returns in large cities in any country.
