This same information is illustrated in the accompanying chart(fig. 7) which shows graphically how the shipping seasons of thevarious States may overlap. In connection with this chart it shouldbe understood that the number of carloads shipped in the beginningof the season is often small, but increases rapidly as the season pro-gresses, frequently reaching a maximum before the middle of theseason and then gradually diminishing to its close. The number of cars shipped from each State is also illustrated by achart (fig. 8) which shows graphically the relative number of car-loads shipped from stations in each State.

The tabular statement which follows shows the cantaloupe shippingstations arranged in the order of their importance within each State,together with the actual number of cars reported shipped therefromduring the 1914 season. Seasonal variations are so great, however,that many of these figures may differ radically from the shipmentsusually made from those districts. In many cases certain stations are credited in the tabulation withless-than-car-lot shipments. These stations normally ship in fullcarloads, but on account of some abnormal condition in 1914 theydid not ship their customary quantities. Less-than-car-lot ship-ment
