The Garden. CHINESE MARKET GARDENING. v , We. have been taking a look at the 'Chinese market gardens in the neighbour"hood of Dunedin, with a view of ascertaining the merits of the Mongolian j-ayatem of grdwing vegetatilesl ' As far as E our observations have extended, the practice of 'these gardeners appears to be, 'precisely similar. They seem to be. good-4iidges of soil, selecting only the richest, tand; deepest loam, and they are always e careful".in having a' supply of water, .at hand. Having selected good land, • fjindi facilities , for obtaining a supply .of water; to be used at all seasons, the ;»ext desideratum, no matter how rich the Aground "may be, is an abundant supply of .manure. ' John- obtains this on easy. terms. His cart which brings vegetables to -market never returns empty. It is loaded with the finest stable manure, for .which he. pays nothing.
