Enthusiastic Horticultural
Mr. James T, ShallCross, Er., who il
one Of the leading hOrtiCulturists Of the
State, is most enthusiastic market gar.
dener, and jack frost does not put an end
to his operations. The writer was in.
vited TO his pleasant home on North Broad
street Friday morning to look over the
rhubarb Mr.. s. has growing in bis cellar,
and We can truthfully say it ID the finest
specimen Of this delicious vegetable we
have ever seen.
Growing rhubarb in the cellar is no
experiment with Mr.. shallcross, as he
has been producing it in the winter season
for several years, and receiving handsome
prices for all he has TO place on the
market.
Rhubarb is not the only vegetable
grown by this up-to-date horticultural
when the ground is covered with mantle
Of snow. As ne lifted the glass from bis
numerous cold frames and let US gaze on
the fresh vegetables ready for table use,
it reminded the scribe of the approaching
spring-time, when be too might enjoy
these luxuries.
At q meeting of farmers held in
Dover last week at which time an organi-
cation was affected to be known as the
Farmers Produce Exchange, Mr.. Shall.
cross was elected President, and it is the
opinion OF the writer that those farmers
made no mistake in selecting him as their
officer.
