ferrcd the basket

nouncea that the New York commits
sion men prefer the basket.
Charles p. Jones. late of New York,
thought the fivn-eighth basket is the
best, but the half bushel basket with
u lid would do away with shelving in
cars.

from carriers last year were but a trilie
more than the receipts from baskets
Charles L. Terry of Camden, H. H.
Vivian of Seaford and John 0. TFuitt
and Charles S. Barker of Milford made

the basket without lid

that peaches be loaded so that they
will not shake or slip.

agent of the P, w. & B. railroad, said
he could not promise reduction in
the cost of shipping.

the basket, were submitted.
