soil of New Ca.tle Del is in strnpg ro,-
trast with the barren rcd soil of New
Jersey. True. in some of the valleys,
there are GOOD farming districts but to
one who has been used TO the fertile soil
of upppr Nrw Castle Cocil and Chester

Some of the land much resembles Iron
Hill, and is very well ADAPTED TO the rails

peaches, though the latter finds its best
home ilr your own little State.
