Strawberries IN Salisbury The Salisbury
Ad0ertiser says: Commencing on May 26,
ending with June 18th, there were shipped
from Salisbury alone, 264, ,96l quarts of straw
berries The shipments during the remainder
OF the season will about run the total for 1873
up to three hundred thousand quarts. Iu
1872 the total number Of quarts shipped from
this depot were 285, ,6l0 so that it will be seen
that the, quantity of strawberries grown this
year Is not IN excess OF the crop last year,
although the area of acreage is double. This
may be attributed to the frost and drought,
aud to the fact that growers could not ge
plckers enough. From this aud the ruinously
low price realized for several heavy shipments
we deduct the combustion that the berry bust
ess has not been profitable this season.
