We get very good vegetables and fruits in our markets, but these seldom compare with those raised by the deep culture of the spade or digging fork in an amateur's garden. We have thought it would be of interest to give a sketch of the vegetable garden of Queen Victoria, from which the royal table at Windsor is supplied. The dotted parallelograms are fruit tree blocks. The four large squares are for vegetables, and the numerous small parallelograms on the upper part of the picture are glass houses for growing such fruits and vegetables which do better thus than in the open air.

We have made this cut from one in a paper on this garden contributed by Mr. Charles Joly, to the French Journal de la Societe d'Horticulture.
