THOROUGHFARE NECK, August l.
Fleming's Landing was the scene of
the largest shipment of peaches of the
season, yesterday. Although the crop
is short, the prices promise to be COM
mensurate to a considerable extent with
the shortage. Those who have the lus-
cious fruit will be amply paid this year.
The Neck boasts of many fine young
orchards practically free from disease.
Inspectors from the State Board of
Agriculture under the direction of
Prof. Webb of Dover have been at
work in this locality and found very
few traces of San Jose Scale and not
a single case of Yellows among the
young orchards The work of the in
spectors is much appreciated by fruit
growers as it gives them the free SER
vices of experts, and enables them to
fight the enemies of the peach tree
with the most scientific methods.
Representative Samuel G. IDerickson
is the most extensive fruit grower of
this section, and has some very fine
orchards There is no reason why the
peach cannot be grown now as we'll
as in the balmy days of the past when
fortunes were realized from this fruit.
