Blooming" be replied. so much so in
fact that am afraid somebody is going TO
get hurt. The movement CT peas and beans
70 about over, but cabbage, potatoes and
other vegetables, such as onions, squsshes
and eggplant, are Just coming 10. Most OF
the planters have stopped digging potatoes

by The way, will be way down this year. III
growers realize IL Is per barrel they will do
well. lean buy all l want at that figure. Three
carloads which 1 bought for Chicago yester-
day coat me only g 05 on the track. We
will begin TO
SHIP ONIONS
next week. We are getting our egg-plants
aud tomatoes from New Orleans yet, but the
home supply will be plentiful and will soon
come in. Green corn OF home growth re-
tails for twenty five cents per dozen, but it is
not yet plentiful. The Cessation Of the
movement in

of peas have been shipped 60 far. The

THE FRUIT TRADE
this season has go far been disappointing
and the prospect is bluer still. The straw
