Holly Season Successful

Holly Season Successful
While complete figures are not
available at present, but may be
known within few weeks, regard
ing the money received by lower
Delaware farmers from Thanksgiv-
ing until a few days before Christ
mas from the holly crop, the gen.
eral opinion seems to be that the
season was fairly successful but fell
short of many former years. At any
rate, many thousands of dollars
were sent into this section for box
and case holly and wreaths. The
holly trees this year were almost de-
void of berries and artificial ones
had to be used extensively. This
had its effect ON the prices received
and somewhat curtailed shipments.
Had there been crop of berries and
the holly in good condition, it is
estimated that gross receipts would
have been more than 80 per cent
greater. Evergreens were in great
demand this Christmas. Thousands
Of people in addition to using holly
branches and wreaths, bought
wreaths made from evergreens
Known to peninsula folk as "crow's
'oot", turkey beard" and running
,edar". Within the past ten years
hese eyergreens have become pop
liar for wreath making.
