amount Of energy or imagination. 1t
is not difficult in a detailed soil sur
vey OF this marvellous United States
of ours to find plenty of land suita-
BILE for the market gardener but much
of this land is so remote from mar
kets that the advantages Of soil are
largely minimized.
One day l stood at the corner OF
Eighth and Market streets eating
California cherries, which I had pur-
chased from an Italian on the corner.
A fine looking man stood beside me,
and. after making some common
place remarks he began to talk about
the cherries. He told me that he
had moved his family East from Ore
gon and he had come East to look
for land. The year before he said
he had fed forty-eight bushels of cher.
ries such as / was eating to his hogs
because the cost of marketing the
fruit he said would have been great
er than what he would have re-
ceived in return for It. Delaware
and Delmarvia have wonderful soil
and a fair climate, but their markets
are their great advantage and the peo.
Dle are only beginning to realize
what an advantage these markets
are.
The relationship which Wilmington
bears to the peninsula as far as
strategical advantage is concerned Is
an ideal one. The relationship vii.
mington will bear to the peninsula in
the future will depend largely on the
people of Wilmington themselves
That there will be a marvellous de-
velopment down the peninsula in the
very near future is as sure as any
thing not already can be. The out.
look for a bumper crop at this time
this year is very flattering. In our
opinion the big crop this year is 60
ing to give the peninsula publicity
which, coming at this particular time
is going to be more than worth while

river. and about two miles of nayiga-
bic water on the Brandywine. The
harbor has a maximum draft at mean
low water Of 1876 feet. The tidal
range at the mouth Of the Christiana
river Is slightly over 6 feet.
The circumstances made waterway
transportation and shipbuilding the
earliest developed industry OF the
city Shipyards we're established on
both the Christiana and the Brandy
wine. Water transportation grew to
large dimensions. The city became
the port OF shipments for the grain
and farm produce OF a large area Of
teh adjoining country.
The turnpikes radiating from the
city north, west and south r were
principally the results of commerce
finding its way to a port of water
shipment in great canvas-covered
4 wagons, similar TO the later prairie
schooners," drawn by four, and some-
/ times six horses. each horse carrying
over his shoulders a string Of jingling
bells. They came into the city over
the Lancaster, Newport, Concord and
Philadelphia turnpikes.
This wagon traffic furnished the in
spiration for the organi4, .tion OF reg
ular transportation lines from the
city, and induced Captain Samuel
Bush, the founder Of the firm Of the
George w Bush and Sons Company,
which has for more than a century
antedating the founding of the repub-
I lic-been among the chief carriers OF
the city's transportation, to open a
new field. Captain Bush was a West
India trader, sailing out of this port
carrying the product Of the city's
early mills and factories 70 mar
ket.
The Bush line was established in
177a, and was followed Y the estab-
lishment of the Warner line, In 179a

trader was induced to quit the coast

Relationship of Wilmington
to The Delmarvia Peninsula
BY JOHN s. HAMILTON.

1t is pleasure to have to consider
the relationship Of Wilmington to the
Delmarvia peninsula at this time but
it would be even a much hap
pier pleasure If there was no doubt
about it to consider the relationship
which Wilmington should logically in
the future bear to this wonderful
country between the bays. Sometimes
when we have taken a ride down the
Delaware railroad and when we have
been receiving one delightful impress
sion after the other and when we find
ourselves crying out to ourselves:
What q country; what country"
we pause and ask whether after all
we are not mistaken. We ask our
selves whether after all we have not
been carried away with a tempera-
mental infirmity which, in spite of
reasons and facts, excited a tendency
to an excess of loyalty which would
make US believe in any event that
where our lot was cast was always
better than where other men lived.
But facts are stubborn things. What
product of the Temperate Zone will
not flourish and thrive in this won
derful country south Of the Delaware
and Chesapeake Canal? Where In the
Temperate Zone will that product de-
velop more perfectly and more quick
ly and with a finer flavor and with
less effort expended? We do not
know. Where will a dollar invested
In farming produce a bigger dividend
The Pennsylvania railroad literature
answers this question when it says
that a dollar invested in the country
referred to will make a larger return
than elsewhere and the Pennsylvania
railroad cannot afford to play favor
ties in such matters and we do not
believe it would play favorites If II
could so afford.
For a city the size Of Wilmington
to be located at the head Of penin-
sula having so many facilities of cli-
mate and soil as has the country we
now have under consideration en-
