VICTORIA AND PARADISE NURSERIES, UPPER HOLLOWAY, LONDON, THE SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 18S0. COVENT GARDEN. THERE is no place where a gardener or afarmer, or a person from the country,could while away an hour more pleasTnty orperhaps more profitably than round about thesquare that fonns the great Covent GardenMarket of a morning as the cockney willhave it. Every inch of space seems to beutilised by a variety of vehicles for holdinggoods, and so crowded and wedged together arethey that despite Mr. Brights now historicalopinion as to the impracticability of drivingfour omnibuses abreast through Temple Bar,such a feat would not seem too greatfor these accomplished waggoners. The goodhumour and banter, too, and the readychaff that prevail would offer a splendid fieldfor the pen of a Dickens to utilise. It is reallywonderful the vast amount of vegetables andfruits, and plants and flowers that are turned overin a comparatively small space, and althoughthere is a Babel of voices there is apparently inthe midst of it all a considerable degree oforder.
