Tho season OF the year Ia at hand when
a fleet OF small schooners has begun to
pass up the Delaware River from the Ba.

craft seldom engage In this trade owing
to the heat, which so readily spoils the
fruit. small percentage OF the fruit
goes to Philadelphia, and from there to

Baltimore for canning purposes.
The vessels which engage in the trade
are small sohooners, the fast sailers being
generally sought after. San Salvador.

are the principal loading ports.
The latter island is where Column bus first
