Descriptive text from separate pages at the back which cannot be supplied (subject to any spelling errors due to the OCR program used)COVENT GARDEN MARKET, LONDON. It would be idle to pretend that Covent Garden Market is either beautiful or convenient. It is cramped in size, and somewhat squalid in appearance. Nevertheless there is probably no market in the world, not even in the richest and most prolific countries, which is better supplied with the fruits of the earth than this famous metropolitan mart. The four quarters of the globe are put under tribute to supply Covent Garden with their rarest and finest produce; and the dull grey skies of London look down upon the sun-ripened treasures of every land. Hither also are brought the vegetables and common fruits—cabbages, apples, strawberries, and so on—which England itself supplies; and at five o'clock in the morning, the hour at which our illustration is taken, the market is full of the country carts which all night long have been making their way citywards from the market gardens and nurseries which are scattered in abundance throughout the Home Counties.
