and it is destined to become source

warm and sunny climate and gen

care to return a rich harvest, has
decreed that it shall become the
great early market garden for the
country east of the Rocky noun
bains, says the Manufacturers Record.
Every year will add to the demand
for its vegetables and its fruits, and
heir cultivation will bring millions
Of dollars of profit to this favored

,alue of vegetable raised for local
consumption, the value of Florida
Maryland and Georgia

South's fruit and vegetable pre-
lucts is not less than S1O0,000,000a
