CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
FRESH VEGETABLES SENT TO CAL,
IFORNIA ON WHEELS.
A Few Important Additions to the Per-
manent Exhibit of the Chamber-Some
of the Visitors There Yesterday.

A quantity of fresh vegetables was
dispatched yesterday from the Chamber
of Commerce to the California on Wheels
1t included green peas, cabbages, sweet
potatoes and asparagus. Strawberries
and corn were also sent. A Boston paper
states that asparagus imported from the
South is now selling at $1.25 and $3.50
bunch in that city, and strawberries at
rs cents a box. The display of these
products in quantities in the California
on Wheels will probably suggest
to Eastern farmers the possibility
which this section possesses of develop
ing trade in fresh vegetables through
the winter and the early spring months

cubator in the permanent exhibit to be
