BBIDaETON, DEL. 



During the convention of vegetable 

 growers at Philadelphia a party of 250 

 came to Bridgeton to inspect Seabrook 

 Farms as the guests of the Skinner Irri- 

 gation Co. They were brought to Bridge- 

 ton by special train, and were met at 

 Bridgeton by seventy-five automobiles, 

 furnished by the Bridgeton Board of 

 Public Improvement. It seems that this 

 Board of Trade felt the visit such an 

 important one that it was widely adver- 

 tised in advance. The town was deco- 

 rated with flags and at all schoolhouses 

 in the country round about in the 20- 

 mile ride that we had, the scholars were 

 lined up in front, to wave flags and show 

 us their greetings. 



At the Seabrook Farms we found 

 eighty-five acres under irrigation, and 

 twenty more in the process of installa- 

 tion. Spinach, lettuce and potato crops 

 were in abundance and the cultivation is 

 certainly being ideally handled. Last 

 year Lord & Burnham built for them one 

 of their iron-frame greenhouses, 60x400. 

 Standing at one side, I was greatly im- 

 pressed with the serious interest with 

 which the growers scanned the L. & B. 

 house. These vegetable growers certain-, 

 ly are coming along. Talking with the 

 foreman, he said they sterilize their soil 

 every year, as they do not care to take 

 the risk that some of the growers do in 

 sterilizing only once every three years. 

 After the grounds and the greenhouse 

 were thoroughly inspected, the Board of 

 Trade took the party on a 20-mile ride, 

 throughout the surrounding country, see- 

 ing the various other truck farms. We 

 ended up in Bridgeton park, where a 

 lunch was served, of apples and other 

 fruit, crullers and delicious cider. T.

According to the assessors' list just 

 filed at Middletown, Carl Jurgens is 

 taxed on $25,500 and V. A. Vanicek on 

 $20,900. 



Jeremiah O'Connor, one of the oldest 

 gardeners in Newport, died at his home 

 on Chapel street a few days ago after a 

 long illness. For many years, and until 

 old age incapacitated him for work, he 

 was head gardener on the Edgar place, 

 on Old Beach road. He leaves one son 

 and three daughters. 



William Jurgens was a business vis- 

 itor in Providence and Boston last week.
