The strawberry season is over. The
crop has nearly all been gathered, and
the Italian pickers returned home the
latter part of this week, except those who
will remain to pick tomatoes. The crop
was cut short by the dry weather in May.
The crop has been fair in size and quality
and the average price good, much better
than last year. The growers will realize
a fair profit.
