CROP AND MARKET NOTES. 
territory south of Salisbury, M(l.; and while the 
crop north of there was large and berries fine, 
the extreme humidity of the weather during June, 
caused the berries to ripen irregularly, and filled 
them with water, thus causing them to go to mar¬ 
ket in bad order, except those shipped in refrig¬ 
erator cars. The heaviest shipment in one day 
this season was 204 cars to all points.. The peach 
crop, at this writing, seems to be all right, but it is 
too early to give an estimate. Our cherries are 
all gone, and the pears In localities are badly 
hurt. The Abundance and other varieties of Japan 
plums, seem to be all right. The grape crop, 
which has grown to considerable dimensions 
here, is all right. The apple crop is not of much 
interest here as yet, our growers not having paid 
much attention to it except as to early varie¬ 
ties. j. M. M.

The season for Bermuda potatoes is practically

Nearly 40,000 barrels of Southern potatoes were 
received last week. 
The first car-load of Florida watermelons ar¬ 
rived early in the week. 
The first green peas from Long Island came in 
June 8, and sold for good prices. 
Strawberries have averaged of good quality 
this year, and prices have ruled lower than usual. 
It is estimated that the crop of prunes in Ore¬ 
gon, Washington and Idaho this year, will 
amount to 10,000,000 pounds. 
California packers are compelled to pay high 
prices for cherries on account of the short crop. 
Prices are about double those of last year. 
The Kern County Land Company, California, 
are investigating the best methods of rice culture, 
different kinds of seed, and both lowland and up¬ 
land sorts. 
Over 15,000 barrels of new potatoes came in 
Monday. They were in fairly good condition, but 
many of them were small and sold for low prices 
in consequence. 
Prices of French peas continue high, and 
packers talk of higher prices, which is good for 
American canners, as a great many of the French 
peas are used in this country.

CONDENSED CORRESPONDENCE. 
Aiken County, S. C.—In this locality peaches 
are a good crop ; pears medium, a great 
many trees blighted ; apples, average. Grapes 
are bearing heavily—an extra crop if they don’t 
rot. Corn looks well; cotton badly. w. t. 
Niagara County, N. Y. —The frosts played havoc. 
On one of our farms, where we had 1,800 barrels 
of pears last year, and where the prospect was 
more flattering before the frost than last year, 
we shall not get a peck of pears all told. In an¬ 
other orchard of peaches, which was loaded, not 
only are the peaches all killed, but the young 
wood was so badly frozen that much of it is dead, 
and not a single peach is left. In spots here and 
there, however, both pears and peaches escaped. 
Apples are badly injured, still there will be some 
apples—perhaps one-eighth of a crop. In places, 
grass was badly injured. j. s. w. 
Yates County, N. Y.— The frosts during the 
month of May did considerable damage in some 
places in this locality. Vineyards close to the 
west shore of Seneca Lake, were scarcely touched; 
others back from the lake are reported as sustain¬ 
ing from 50 to 75 per cent loss. Strawberries are, 
probably, not more than half a crop. Of some 
dozen kinds growing on my own grounds, the 
Bubaeh and Haverland were injured the least, 
the Jessie and Crawford the most. Timbrell and 
Parker Earle withstood the frost well, but will 
not stand dry weather or a dry, gravelly soil. 
Last year they were a failure on account of dry 
weather, while Bubaeh and Haverland in rows 
adjoining, were doing well and ripened a good 
crop. I fruited a few of the Jay Gould this year, 
for the first time, and find them in point of hard¬ 
ness and flavor, desirable berries. s. y. 
Kent County, Del. —We have about finished 
one of the most disastrous strawberry seasons 
ever experienced on this peninsula. The cold, 
wet spell in May, succeeded by extreme hot 
weather, blighted the vines over a large extent of
