at least $50 car loads of strawberries have
been shipped over the Delaware Railroad this
season. This would amount to about 5 ,040, 900
quarts or 157,5OO bushels. The returns, clear
of freight and commissions, have averaged
about seven cents per quart, which would
show the clever sum returned to the Peninsur
Ia Of $3.50, 300. At two cents per quart, the
