( SUPERIOR CANNED GooDs.-There may be
| found, in some remote corner of the world, bet
/ ter canned goods than those packed by Mr.. 5. n
| Hyde, formerly of Boothby Hill, but We doubt
1 it. sample case of Egyptian sweet corn and
4 trophy tomatoes sent to us by him, few DAYS
! ago, proved to be delicious. The flavor of both
! articles have been well preserved that it is
J difficult to distinguish them from corn and
I tomatoes freshly gathered. Mr.. Hyde has re-
moved with his family to his new farm In Long
| Green, Baltimore county, and in an enlarged field
and with increased facilities his genius for rails
ing fine tomatoes and corn and carrying ont the
programme" will have ample scope.
