In spite of the fact that the frost of last
spring destroyed thousands of plants in the
fields, the tomato season just closing, has
been the most prosperous one ever expe-
rienced by the growers in this vicinity.
The yield has been enormous, and prices
have been good, and as consequence,
many farmers find themselves in easy cir
cumstances with a bank account to be
proud of. The total shipment of tomatoes
from Swedesboro railroad depot for the
season has been not far from 400, 900 crates,
more than one hundred thousand crates
above what was ever shipped in one season
before Thousands of baskets have been
sent to Chester and Philadelphia by boat.
The cantaloupe crop has been almost

made within the next few days, if the
weather is favorable. Prices range from
2.75 to S. per barrel for best, and 81 for
second size.
