Holly Becomes

East MARYLAND

CRISFIELD, Md. (UP)-The
bright red berries and the glossy
green leaves of holly, whether
fashioned into wreathes or left as
festoons for decorative purposes,
is only a symbol of Christmas
cheer, a sign of the season, to
many persons.
But to the farmers of Somerset
county and other communities m
lower Delaware and elsewhere on
the peninsula it is part of their
yearly income.
New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Cleveland, Chicago, st. Louis
many of those centers of metro
politan population buy their holly
wreaths casually without stopping
to think from whence they came.
The eastern shore markets of
Marion, Kingston and Princess
Anne, Maryland, are a large
source of supply, and already the
holly crop, the last one of the
season, is being harvested.
One dealer said that buyer IN
his section told him he had con-
tracts for one million wreaths.
And for some years past, the
business has been getting better
each Christmastime until now hol-
~, instead of being a "side-line, !"
