Brokers and Real Estate Agents,
MIDDLETOWN, DEL.

Lands in Delaware and the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland are generally level, easily cultivated,
naturally rich and susceptible of the highest i'm
| provcment, and easily restored when reduced by
hard tilling. The farms we offer have fair
proportion Of timber and wood, and lying be-
tween the two (2) large bodies of water, the
Delaware and Chesapeake bays and their tribu-
tarics, are well watered and thoroughly drained.
The climate from its location is very healthy,
mild and salubrious, and this consideration alone
is an induccmcnt to many northern farmers, to
escape the rigorous winters, 50 destructive TO
health and their stock. These lands have also
the very great advantage in the fact that they
produce abundanty MI kinds Of Grain, Fruit
and Vegetables, which can be shipped by Rail
Roads, in well ventilated market cars, or by COM
modous steamers, at low rates of freight, and
in sufficiently short time reach Philadelphia and
New York Market to enable them to compete
with lands near those markets.
