To Shippers.

This is to caution you against the
use Of barrels for shipping cabbage
in, because they are too bulky, ami
no matter how much you slit and
bore the barrels for vent, the cab.
'bage will heat and decay in them
more or less in the close cars. and
rot and spoil more or less in the hot
hole OF the boat. The shipping of
cabbagelin barrels has lost thousands
Of dollars to Florida shippers every
season, not only in total losses from
rot, but in damaged stock and injury
to the market. We have seen it and
deem it our duty to warn you from
such destruction Of your cabbage in
barrels any longer, nov that you can
get crates, and we advise you to use
only slat crates, which are not so
bulky, are better ventilated and
which deliver cabbage and egg
plants here invariably in much bet
ter condition than they ever arrive
