LARGE SHIPMENTS
OF Strawberries.
SEVENTY CAR LOADS SHIPPED IN
ONE DAY.
Probably the Largest Crop Of Berries
Ever Produced on the Delaware Pen.
insula. The DrOuth ruins crop
around Milford.

A solid train load Of strawberries in
refrigerator cars passed up over the
ID. NJ. d v railroad last Tuesday morn
ing, and during the day seventy car
loads came up from the various points
where strawberries are grown for mark
ct on this line. As many more went
over the Delaware road from Bridge
vile and other places. As they were
shipped in refrigerator cars they were
sent to points in the far West, and
northern cities, and did not interfere
with the New York and other nearby
markets.
On Monday morning the prices paid
at Milford station ranged from five to
six cents per quart; and the same rates
prevailed at the other larger shipping
points
At Laurel, Seaford and some other
Of the main line points, the pickers at
tempted to get the price for picking
raised to two cents per quart, but the
growers refused to pay it, and there
has been no difficulty in getting a Il the
piekers that are needed to handle the
crop at the old price OF one and one
half cents per quart.
About Milford the dry weather has
cut the crop 10 less than one third; in
fact almost total failurein some cases.
Many are discouraged, and are serious
ly contemplating blowing up their
strawberries altogether.
Prices for good berries fell on Tues.
lay to 3! and 4 cents per quart, and the
supply was almost nothing. On We'd
lesday the moist weather prevented
Dickers from working; but the size of
he fruit was much improved. But it
3 evident that the yield this season
will be far below what was expected.
From Bridgeville reports assert that
he crop will be but little over third
f what was expected.
