Tbe olty baa an Insatiable appetite for vegetable, and altnougb aunonnaed by a magnificent farming oountry, we atlll have to import a large proportion of oar cabbage, cauliflower, lettuoe, oelery and 'green peas from California." Something of the aame condition exist here, we Import early vege tables, atrawberries, etc, from Calif ornia, but later in tbe eeaaon we have a superabundance. Why not try for tbat Portland market? We ahould be abl to compete with tbe Calif ornia gardeners in qnality on an even hails, and having tbe advantage of a shorter haul.
