Blackberries, dewberries and

Rock Island retail market yester-
day.
This season all three are Of the
highest quality, to add to which
they are being sold in great quanti-
ties. Gamers had better secure
their necessary supply at once, as
neither berry has long period crop.

ears, tomatoes and cueumbers in
their initial appearance upon the
local mart this summer. The Gu
cumbers constitute good crop and
are quite satisfactory for all pur-
poses. The corn is very new and
not up to its full growth as yet, but
promises to make a long visit and
will doubtless gain in quality.
Turnips, beets and cabbage have
all taken advantage of their quail
ity, the exceeding demand and di-
minished supply, and jumped-cab-
hage from rs cents to 81, and beets
and turnips from 20 cents to 80

rhubarb, spinach and Spanish
onions.
Melons Are Here.

chased at 4 cents per pound The
big melon is a good buy at this
price, considering its qualities as a
