The DeIawnre peach Cron.

WILNuNdToN, DEL, June 2.-From present
sula Will be very much Larger this yeni thrn
for nine years past. The frosts OF wednesday
and Thursday nights were general and OK
tended all over the peninsula. The fact that
the fruit experienced no damage whatever
from the frost Is regarded as an Indication OF
Its healthy condition, and affords the strongest
grounds for the confident predictions which
one hears on every hand OF a phenomenal
crop. There are no fears of more frosts. In
every town OF the peach belt basket factories
are going up, and In week the basket in-
dustry, which is always contingent upon q
good crop, will be fairly under way.
