GREAT QUANTITIES
Of STRAWBERRIES.

Probably the greatest day of this sea
son was on Monday last when the ovel
Sunday ripening caused tremendous
pick. From everywhere there was a
demand for pickers, and the express
companies on Monday morning had
their limit reached to carry all that was
Lfered to them.
From Selbyville and Bird geville full
trains Of refrigerator cars loaded with
strawberries were sent out, while the
ventilatOr cars carried the bulk of the
shipments to New York, Philadelphia
and nearby cities.
Prices were simply TuinoHs to the
growers, as the offerings were from %
to cents per quart at the stations.
The scarcity Of cars, refrigerator, on
Tuesday caused a hundred cars from
Selbyville and Bridgeville to be dumped |
onto the nearby city markets, and on
"Wednesday the prices in the cities
ranged between three and four cents
for the best stock.
AT the Milford depot prices ranged
from rs cents to 81 for the best 32 quart
crates.
so fer this has been a very bad year
for the berry growers.
