Bridgeville's Claims Contrasted With
NIilford's Assertion--The Farmers Fine
Prospects.
Special Correspondence Of Gazetteand journal
BRlpeEyfLLE, June s.-The following ar.
ticle was recently contained in Milford
paper
the peach trees near and around this town
are large, healthy trees and perfectly free from
u touch OF the yellows or any DINER dlsehse.
For this reason Milford will have the pest irult
in the world this season.. We also nave more
trees than any other section and they are more
heavily loaded with fruit than any otner sec
ton. We will not only have the best peaches
in the world but the largest yield
While your correspondent acknowledges
the quality and quantity OF Milford trult,
he will not acknowledge its superiority
over Bridgeville fruit
The dreaded disease yellows, which is
doing such injury to trees in the northern
| and central parts of the State, has never
made its appearance in this section, not IN
| a single instance. With the land in this
section containing iron, which is an enemy
to the yellows, and the trees young, large
and healthy, with the orchards in goot
condition, does it seem probable that Mil
ford can claim superiority
| A recent letter from Philadelphia com
mission merchant said: I'VE think tn
best peaches from the Peninsula com
from BridgevilIe, Glendale, Millingto
and Prices Station"
Could there be any higher recommends
ton, and is any one better to judge OF Oh
quality OF the fruit than the commission
merchant? -
Not knowing the estimate of the Milfor
crop, it is surmised that it will not excee
the Bridgeville estimate, which is 30O,0
10 $4,000. When this is supplemented b
! the large quantity brought from Cannon
Georgetown, Caroline county, Nd, an
even Seaford, each year, in order to 3
good prices from buyers from Hartfor
Brooklyn, New York, Cleveland, WI
, the number of baskets shipped from th
j. station will be nearly 100000.

brilliancy and proportions was noticed in
the east Wednesday evening. An hour be-
fore that ''thunder-heads" filled the sky
in the west. About p. m. Wednesday
residents of the eastern side of the city
were alarmed by sudden and isolated
vigor as if some gigantic power had
grasped the buildings and wrenched then,
with single violent shake. Trees in
yards were bent over and the single blow
of wind rushed through open windows
with a terrific scuttling noise. 1t lasted
but two or three seconds and then every
thing was quiet again.
