THE SEASON IN CAROLINE COUNTY.
Baltimore Sun Special.
GREENsBoRoueH, MD, Aug. a.
The peach season has begun in Caroline
county, and the growers in the peach
belt have entered upon the most proiita
BILE harvest of the season. Fruit pack.
ing has begun in all the packing-house
Much white fruit is being shipped
while the yellow varieties are being
canned. The many reports of an un'
manageable crop early in the summer
have proved untrue, but while these re-
ports may have had tendency to make
dealers cautious, and even little timid
they wrought good results to the grower
supplying greater shipping facilitie!
and In opening markets heretofore un
available for fresh, well-matured fruit
Thus far the growers have had un
precedented encouragement in tht
realization of good prices. Thit
season has been a most favorable one
and the fruit has made up finely in size
color, favor, and, it is SAID, there neve
was more flattering prospect fora crol
of well-deve,oped and delicious peache
in Caroline county than at present. TIT
fruit here is not blighted with the vel
lows. A few months ago an oiilcia
board of commissioners, assigned by thu
county, made careful examinations, ant
all of the blighted trees were condemned
and destroyed. The consequence is tina
now only very few cases of yellow
remain visible, and as soon as a singh
case is developed fully the tree is imme
diately uprootcd.
The following is the estimate of a lev
