city since the latter part of last week
have been supplying their tables with
berries grown by themselves.
Not only are the berries crispness
aud lusciousness far in excess of
those shipped in by southern grow
ers, but they are, on the average.
larger than Missouri and southern

cal market about two weeks ago

berries here some ten days ago gave
promise of spelling before they could
ripen. Ii is told that although at

The production of home grown
berries will probably see it's close
