Grapes, strawberries 

 and bush fruits 

 are grown 

 extensively in the 

 southern and 

 central sections. 



Section 10 includes part of Burlington and Mercer Counties in the vicin- 

 ity of Trenton. The soil in this area is heavier than in the sections farther 

 south, and the principal crops are asparagus, tomatoes, peas, beans and sweet 

 corn. A good market is found in Trenton, with New York and Philadel- 

 phia for the surplus stock. 



Section n is an area of muck, or black soils which are ideal for growing 

 celery, lettuce and onions. This rich land, much of it undeveloped, includes 

 hundreds of acres in Warren and Sussex Counties. Though the develop- 

 ment of this ground often involves considerable expenditure for drainage 

 the handsome returns in crops usually justifies it. 



Section 12 comprises the Montague district in northern Sussex County. 

 It is now principally devoted to supplying the Port Jervis and New York 

 markets, yet is capable of considerable expansion.
