Fall strawberries, grown in Utah, are
in evidence on the salt Lake market
arriving Tuesday, the 10th. They Were
grown by h. 10. Egan of Woods Cross
Davis county, who expects to harvest
the fruit until frost cuts down thelI
growth. The berries were picked from
vines that in the early part of the sea
son yielded the usual crop. After the
first harvest a moving machiue was
put on the patch, and the vines Were
cut down almost to their crowns AT
forwards a regular and thorough course
of cultivation and irrigation was insti-
tuted. with the result that the vines
again threw out their blossoms, and
later crop of berries equal in size
and appearance to the spring crop, and
excelling the spring product in faVor,
was the result. Mr.. Egan has about
three acres now under this unique
method of cultivation, and announces
that he will supply strawberries to the
local market as long as the weather
remains warm enough to ripen them.
