BEST IN THE UNION,
Products bringing double the price than in loca-
tions away from the city, and more than double the
price in the West. 1t is known that the earliest
and best fruits and vegetables in this latitude come
from New Jersey, and are annually exported 10 the
extent of millions.

New England and Middle country aoheys every i'm
rroUsmsnt of comfort end ciUiff@GtiOn IS at hand

ard delightful climate, where teveTs are utterly un
