have just been taken from the green

have been coming in rather freely, but

Peppers and lettuce are plenty. To-
matoes, like everything else, have
suffered from the lack of rain, and

ply of potatoes has been kept down
by irregular weather, and prices are
firm. Good sweet potatoes are
scarce, but there are plenty Of ordi-
nary ones.
