The fruit and flower industry in Scotland is rapidly increasing, Perhaps there is no branch of trade which is more prosperous. Iu recent years the Edinburgh and Glasgow markets particularly have enormously developed, and shops for the sale of fruit and flowers have been increased in all parts of these cities, in the most humble as well as in the leading business streets. It is estimated that nearly 7000 acres of land in Scotlandarenow used as orchards andmarket gardens. The most successful district is Clydesdale. The soil is suitable, communication with Glasgow is abundant, and great as the supply sent to the city is, the demand cannot be said to be fully met.
