STRAwBERRIEs.-the strawberry crop has
been short and the yield small, as was ex-
pected. The Wilson," the general mar
ket berry have run down so in size that the
most of the patches have been abandoned
as far as marketing is concerned. Though
the prices have been good, the season has
been unsatisfactory to the growers and
much more so to the pickers. The amount
of berries shipped from our stations do not
amount to half what they did five and
eight years ago. Most tenants have aban-
doned the crop entirely, and the others
have greatly reduced their acreage. The
number of car loads that went over the
road Monday was 81, making q total to that
date of 45l. Some of the improved varie-
ties will hold on all this week. Jas. w.
Anthony finds that his Cumberland Tri-
umphs" not only stood the drought better
but were more prolific and being a larger
berry brought about double the price of the
others. He shipped 400 quarts of this va
riety Monday, and 500 yesterday, and has
received from none less than 25 cents and
ranging from this up to SO cents per quart.
His trial patch of the" Sharpless" he finds
entirely satisfactory. They promise to be
as prolific as the Cumberland" while at
the same time they are larger and firmer.
The "Monarchs" have proved failure this
year.
