THE VEGETABLE GARDENS.
Prospects for Increased Shipments
Strawberries Coming in Carloads.

SNN%
The light frost of last week does not seem
to have injured the truck gardens nor the
fruit and berry blooms. A gentleman who
made tour of the suburban gardens 5 At
urday informed a MORNING NEWS reporter
that crops generally are looking well, and
nothing but a severe cold snap VIII
prevent unusually large shipments Of early
peas and potatoes to the Northern markets.
The vegetable prospects here are closely
watched at each successive stage from the
breaking up Of the ground 70 shipping time,
by Northern dealers, and there has hardly a
week gone by for the past two months that
dealers have not visited Savannah in per-
son or sent agents to inform themselves of
the outlook for the products of the truck
gardens and to arrange the details for ship
ments. From here they go to Florida aud
look after the truck farms and from that
point the early vegetable is watched until it
is in season as far North as Canada.
BY climatic progression the great Eastern
andNorthern cities are supplied with dainties
for the table season after season The Sa-
vannah vegetables follow Florida, then the
Carohuas ard so on to Jersey and far
north beyond the st. Lawrence, TO begin
again in Florida when the Canadian truck
farm Is locked in ice and snow.
The luscious strawberry is supplied by
w. p
Canada, so that Strawberries al c served on
the tables Of Eastern epicures from Februa-
ry to October They come high at the be-
ginning aud are high at the close running
all the way from 25c. to 81 90 quart, and
even higher prices IRE sometimes obtained.
Southern berries very readily command an
average Of SOC. per quart at the point of
shipment, and are considered the most prof
liable crop that can be raised from the soil.
The first carload Of Florida Strawberries
will come in over the Savannah, Florida
and Western railway this morning, and
will be transferred TO the steamship Ma
coochee, and from this time till the middle
Of May three car loads per week will be

COLLECTING A LIBRARY.
The Knights of Labor Invite Donation,
of Books for the Infant Enterprise

The Knights of Labor Invite Donations
of Books for the Infant Enterprise.
The Knights Of Labor are trying to ac-
cumulate library, very praiseworthy
object, the gathering together of collec-
ton of useful books from which to store the
mind and stimulate intelligent inquiry and
research upon subjects which are of general
interest. The members of the order, how
ever, are composed of wage workers, princi-
paliy men of family, who cannot wen afford
10 eXpend much of their earnings to further
the library project, so that they are are not
able to accumulate a collection as rapidly
as they would like.
Several gentlemen outside and inside the
order have kindly donated books to the in
FAINT library, and others, no doubt will lend
it a helping hand when they learn that their
aid in the matter is solicited. To such a
worthy object there are few who cannot
spare one or two books from crowded Ii
braries TO help along the knights of Labor
library. To such as are disposed TO CON
tribute TO the library, the MORNING News
is requested to say that books left with Mr.
L. =. Ashbv or W. II. H. Young will be
placed in the library, and the donors will
receive the thanks Of the order.

forefront of battle for that doctrine and its
natural ally-cheap labor as represented
by human slavery-drew the Mills bill,
throughout which runs the idea of free
trade as water courses down hill That
same gentleman, the chosen advocate of the
Democracy, the champion of the measure
that makes the issue of the hour and that
reflects the thought and purpose of Mr.
Cleyeland's remarkable December message,
has frankly, though not with polite judg-
ment, declared for free trade He said it
in his speech on the 18th of April, 1884,
upon the floor OF the House of Representa-
tives, that the nation would never enter
upon an era of prosperity until it was
nation of free men, free labor and free
trade. He uttered it at st. Louis in the
present month, when he said that if the
Democracy succeeds in its schemes, event
Tally the intelligent labor of America will
be placed upon an equality with that of all
other countries. He said 1t in New York
city, when he declared that free trade is the
true policy of the country.
1t was therefore natural that Minister
West should speak as he did in his Pomona
letter. and give it to be understood that
England favors a party which is friendly
to ner idea of political economy, and which
means the decay of Northern industries
under the free competition with the cheap
labor of Europe. Behind his letter is the
thought and desire of all England, our
rival and our business competitor. Behind
it, also, is the scheme of the endorsed
Democracy to remount the South in power,
that it may dominate the country, and by
subsection of our industries and by the arm
of political authority, rule by peaceable
means where by force it failed.
