StiII Bringing Good Figure.
The dealers in strawberries are OF the
opinion that the crop this year is going
to be good one in spite Of the disadvan-
tages with which crops Of all kinds have
had to contend.
SO far the Florida berries have been
the only ones received in this market and
they have been coming now for about ten
70 cents a quart, but have lately gone
down TO Is cents. Mr.. l.. Putzel who
handles a large portion of the Florida
strawberry crop coming into Savannah

the crop will be fully up to what it was
last year, and perhaps the acreage viii

when the cold came along TO receive any
material damage. The Savannah crop is
not a very large one, amounting to not
more than forty or fifty acres, but this
will not come on for ten days or two

to believe that the crop this year will
fail short in any respect to what 1t was
last year and the year before.
The other vegetable crops and fruit
