The local fruit and vegetable market

The apple trees are blossoming finely
in this state, and favorable advices
come from the middle west. Delaware
expects big crop of peaches and the
Georgia crop promises to be a record
breaker. Cold weather has hurt the
trees slightly in parts of Georgia, but
the damage has been small and many
new trees have come into bearing this
year to add to the production. 1t is esti
mated that 5000 carloads will be
shipped; that compares with 1000 car
loads last year and much lower prices
may be expected.
