FRUiT. is PLENTY.
No Shortege of Any Kind OF Crop
This Fall.

This Fall.
From Saturdays Daily.
The local fruit houses are supplying
Mankato people with all of the delicacies
of the season in the fruit line. Never be-
fore was such a profusion of fruit col
lected in the orchards of the country
and transported to Mankato and dumped
VI on the market. Luscious products of
many states can be had of the local
dealers at reasonable prices.
Lovers of the good, old fashioned fall
fruits need fear no shortage of sup
plies this season The epicure whose
mind turns to fall apples, oranges and
cranbcrrics when the weather begins to
feel frosty, is assured of plenty. Man
,kato is "a big market for all four dain-
ties, and there is every indication of
plentiful supplies.
Apples of every variety will be with
in the reach of everybody. The chief
source of Mankato apples stocks just
now is the southwest. Missouri, Ar
kansas, Kansas and Nebraska are re-
joicing in good apple crops. The quali-
ty of the crop is good and prices are
reasonable. The Michigan crop will be
the Ecxt to come and will not be SO
good. Prices will be about the same
as the quality of the Michigan apples
is below the best grade. The New
York apples will be the last to come
and will be the most expensive. The
New York crop is large and of good
.quality and will bring good prices.
The first of the new Florida orange
crop will be in the Mankato market next
week, which is fully two weeks earlier
than usual There is every prospect of
IA good crop of Floridas and prices will
be AVERAGE. The California orange crop
will not begin to arrive for some time
They will be here for the holiday trade
and a few early CALIFORNIA; may be eN-
pected about Thanksgiving.
The cranberry crop is fair, according
to reports. The beaneatcrs. who start
the baked bean campaign with the first
frost, need have. no fear for there are
beans Il plenty at the same old price.
