Abstract
FEW people other than those connected with the trade know of the extent and importance of the market-growing industry in this country. The general public is so accustomed to imposing statistics of imported fruit and vegetables that it is apt to ignore the not unsatisfactory fact that a large proportion of the market produce consumed in this country is home-grown. Still less does the public realise the extent of the capital and the skill and enterprise of the growers engaged in this industry. Although it may be regarded as lying beyond the scope of this severely practical first report of the work of the research station recently established by the growers in the Lea valley, we could wish, nevertheless, that the director had prefaced his account of the year's work by a short statement of the “statistics of production” in the market-growing industry. For we believe that such a statement would evoke widespread interest among the intelligent public.
