vegetables for sale in the Northern mar
kets several weeks earlier than Norfolk can
do. As the early vegetables make their
appearance they are eagerly bought up,
and our truck farmers may, if they will,
control the whole of the most profitable
portion of the trade. The steamship lines
to Baltimore and New York will give the
shipper of vegetables low rates and quick
dispatch, so that there shall be no hind
rance to the development of the business,
while the proximity to the coast should
make the cost of transportation from the
farms almost Insignificant.
And to the early vegetables which we
might rapidly send forward, may be added
the famous peaches of Georgia and South
Carolina, which can be shipped pia Charles
ton more expeditiously and, We believe
cheaply, than by any other route. The
railroad companies already have cars
specially adapted to the carriage of fruit,
which will be increased in number as cir
cumstances may require, and the steam
ships now run at such times that there is
no danger of the fruit reaching New York
OF Baltimore too late for the market
There seems to be no good reason why
the truck farms around Charleston, and the
peach and apple orchards of the interior,
should not produce an annual crop worth
several million dollars. We have all that
nature can give US; it resting with our
selves to determine whether we will allew
other cities which have lot one-tenth OF
our resources to become and remain our
superiors in this important branch of trade.
There is hardly fruit or vegetable that
cannot be raised to perfection in South
Carolina, anG we are anxious that the fruits
and vegetables which have builtup fortunes
elsewhere, should lay the foundation Of
more fortunes in this city by the sea. 1t
can be done. That is certain. Our far
ners must say whether it shall be done or
not.

THE BALTIMORE Sun says that some Of
the leading London journals are urging the
establishment of steamship lines with the
Southern ports of the United States, es-
pecially with New Orleans and Charleston,
in order not only to secure larger pro-
portion, of the cotton trade, but also TO e1.
tend facilities to the Western agricultu-
rists, if they wish to send their grain to
Europe through its direct channel, the
Mississippi River. They dicuss the matter
like people who ''mean business"

Fruit and Vegetables.

The Pomological Society Of Norfolk has
published statement of the quantity OF
fruits and vegetables raised on the truck
farms around that city, and sent to the
Northern markets. This statement shows
that there was shipped in the season:
LOCO, 900 baskets Of Strawberries.
$4,000 barrels of Potatoes.
10000 barrels of Peas.
10 600 barrels of Snap Beans.
65O, 900 heads Of Cabbage.
10000 barrels OF Cuoumbers.
100000 boxesOf Tomatoes.
5000 barrels OF Squasnes.
1000 barrels Of Beets.
10000 bushels of Radlshes.
100000 Cantelopes.
$4,000 Watermelons.
The money value of these was no less
than S1,O49. 200, excluding the receipts
from the sale of apples, pears, plums, cher
ries, &c, which would probably amount to
twenty. five thousand dollars more. It is
stated that pains we're taken to make the
report both full and correct; but the esti-
mate is still thought to be considerably
lower thar the true figures.
The nc2ey which Norfolk has made by
truck farming is en- evidence Of what can
be done in the neighborhood of Charleston,
if our farmers turn their attention more
sedulously to the small industries, and take
proper advantage of our mild climate and
early seasons. We should be able to offer
