sequence of the eruption of Vesuvius, 

 many acres of some crops being de- 

 stroyed by the rain of ashes and sand; 

 also immense quantities of aspidistras 

 growing outside have been destroyed. 

 One firm sold some 200,000 leaves in 

 England and in consequence of the vol- 

 canic destruction none will be delivered 

 for at least twelve months. J. B.

CANNERS' COSTS. 



The canneries in New Jersey, probably 

 for the first time in the history of the 

 packing industry, offer $10 a ton as the 

 contract price for growing tomatoes. 

 The price gradually has worked up 

 through the last dozen years from $6 to 

 $8, the latter price being first offered 

 last season. The new price of $10 is 

 satisfactory enough to secure acreage to 

 meet the demands of the canners. Prices 

 for spinach and beets have also been 

 advanced $2 a ton, making $20 and $24 

 respectively. As the contracts usually 

 stipulate that beets for this purpose are 

 not to exceed one and one-half inches 

 in diameter, the restriction greatly limits 

 the chances of profit in the crop.
