THE PENINSULA
WON THE TROPHY
Silver Cup For Fruits And Veg
etab|eS Displayed In
New York.

Indicative Of the wonderful fertility
of the Peninsula soil is the prize just
won by the Pennsylvania Railroad at
the American Land & Irrigation EXPOSE
ton in New York City. The railroad
was presented with large silver cup
for having the best railroad exhibit at
the show. which continued from Nov
ember 18th to November Both. in fact
il was considered the best agricultural
display ever made by any railroad in
the United States.
This tribute TO the Pennsylvania Rail-
road is virtually tribute to the Mary
land Delaware and Virginia Peninsula
because the majority Of fruits and veg
etables were collected by the railroad
company from various points in Mary
land and Delaware. The exhibit on the
whole was both picturesque and highly
educational. The decorative features
included huge pumpkin some II feet
in diameter. surrounded by hundreds Of
varieties of farm products put up in
glass jars and in other containers all
designed to show the bountifulness of
crops in the rich farming centres trav-
ersed by the Pennsylvania System.
more than $4,000 persons from all
corners of the United States. Canada
and the European Continent saw our
exhibit Of farm products and spoke
highly of it," says II. S. Lippincott,
agricuturist of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road. who took charge of the booth at
the Land Show. and also gathered and
prepared the greater part of the spec
linens for the Exposition. Needless to
say, the hearty cooperation Of several
growers on the Peninsula to a large
degree assisted the railroad in winning
the much coveted silver trophy and
premier honors. While none of the
individual exhibits in the railroad booth
were placed in competition with fruits
and vegetables Of individuals of other
sections Of the country for prizes. the
Board Of Judges commented very favor
ably upon a number of the specimens of
farm produce sent to the Land Show by
Maryland and Delaware growers.
