New Jersey at all seasons of the year is an attractive place in which to motor because of the va riety of trips that may be made within its borders. One direction leads you to the sea and famous beaches, another takes you through hilly country to the banks of the Delaware River, a third takes you to the same river but at a diff ferent point and over fast express highway, northward you follow the bank of the Hudson, another route goes into the pine belt, and still an- other through fertile farming country down to Delaware Bay.
