. Syuepuxent bay, a small inlet running
5 between Worcester counly and Ocean
8 City beach, has a very fine and pal
atable oyster with a dark gretn cov
ering; this color is supposed to ori|(
incite from the heavy sea-weeds with
which the bay is filled. However,
j it does not injure the oyster, as it is
} very popular in both Baltimore and
Philadelphia maikels. Another item
connected with our oyster industry
worthy cf note is the fact that Oris
field, popularly dubbed the “City by
9 the Sea,” is partly built on oyster
[ shells cut in the sound. Like ccal to
Fro*tburg, Gnsfiald gets its livir g
from the oyster traffic, its busy eea
- son being from September to April,
y oi just the opposite of ours. Of the
,1 bivalves themselves the Cherrystone
(Va.) oysters are rated the beet and
the Pccomoke the most inferior, The
oysters coming to this market are
) about the size and quality of the
j’ middle Chesapeake and have a rich
’ I flavor. ,
