A GREAT PEACH CROP.
GLASTONBURY WILL HARVEST OVER 6O,OOO BASKETS.

GLASTONBURY WILL HARVEST OVER 60,OOO BASKETS.
 "Connecticut will produce, more peaches than Delaware this year," says J. H. Hale. "The Connecticut crop I estimate at 5000, GOO baskets, of which 1000 baskets will be taken from my trees here and probably 2o,- GOO baskets which is producing this year for the first time." This does not include the crop of his brother, G. H. Hale, which will approximate 25,OOO baskets. J. H. Hale has return ed from his two months of fruit gath ering on the great peach farm in Georgia. The peach crop there, he says, has been fine success, He has gathered and sold 75, 900 bushels of fine this section. His last carload of Georgia peaches was deliverra in Hart ford two weeks ago and he had good supply of Glastonbury peaches ready to "lap Over' on the Georgia crop. Dur ing the next month there will be steady supply of peaches from the two Hale farms which have yielded most generously this year. MT Hale says that he has expended this year $22, 900 for crates" and ice in shipping his Georgia peaches northward. Most of the 700 negroes who were employed Tn gathering the peaches have gone to pick cotton. The Seymour farm is pro- ducing its first crop of peaches this year, and they will be marketed chiefly to the nOrthward on the Naugatuck and HOusatOnic lines. Large quantities will be sent into Berkshire county in Massachusetts as far as North Adams. It was to be in position to reach that market that MT Hale established his Seymour fruit farm four years ago. He calculates that the peach crop this year will very nearly, if not quite, GOV CT his entire investment in his 100 acres there. MT Hale says that he does not find so good market to the southward as north of Seymour. New Haven, with over 30 per cent more people than Hartford buys 20 per cent
 less fruit. Peaches are being market. ed nearly every day from the Hale or chards. The variety just finishing ripening is the Early Rose, of which J H. Hale will market about 400 baskets and G. H. Hale almost as many. Pick ing will be light for about week,
 when the Mountain Rose, the most de-
 licious of all white peaches will ripen
 Then the harvest will begin to be ac
 tive.-[East Hartford Gazette.
