THE SUNDAY DINNER.
All Garden Stuff Lower Than at Any Time
This Season.

The opportunities for securing low price
fruits and vegetables of the very best quail
ity have not been as good for years as they
will be to-day. Our markets have been
glutted with garden stuff OF all kinds for the
past few days, and prices are daily drifting
downward.
Tomatoes, cabbage, potatoes, celery,
melons, andall kinds of fruit, both domestic
and foreign, have touched their lowest point
this week. The market basket should groGn
to-day with all the needful supplies OF tho
best quality, at rates satisfying to everybody.
Home grown fruits and vegetables are com
ing in so freely of late that Southern pro-
ducts have little show.
With the great excess of domestic fruits,
fruits from the tropics are dull and slow.
Lemons are the exception to the rule,
than prevailed last week. The hot weather
is no doubt responsible for higher priced
lemons.
Among the new products on the stalls the;
past week are home grown egg plants and
roasting ears. The latter which showed up
for the first time last week are now in full
supply at much reduced rates.
