Wisconsin Strawberries for Canning
Madison, Wis.-We are approaching
another canning season and w. t.
Jones, in charge of Fruits and Vegeta-
bles, Department of Markets, wishes
to bring to the attention of every
housewife the advantage of using Wis
consin's wonderful favored home
grown Dunlap and Warfield strawber-
ries for home canning. These varieties
grown under Wisconsin ideal climatic
conditions are of superior flavor and
texture to varieties grown in other
states and hold their favor and for
nation when subject to canning pro-
cess. No housewife should consider
her home canning complete without
at least one case of this delicious
fruit put away for winter use.
We have four sections in the state
that raise strawberries on a CONNER
cial basis, namely, Warrens, Sparta,
Bayfield, and Sturgeon Bay. A num-
Der of these associations have adopt
ed brands for their best quality ber-
ries and will ship this fine fruit to
the distributing markets in express
refrigerator cars assuring the deliv
cry of this delicious fruit to the con-
sumner in fine condition.
The Warrens fancy berries will be
marketed under the brand name. War
rens Fancy, the Bayfield, under the
Bayfield, brand and the Sturgeon Bay
under Sturgeon Bay. Each of the
above brands will be packed under
strict field supervision and you are
assured of quality when purchasing
any of these brands.
From the present appearance of the
field Wisconsin will harvest one of the
highest quality crops of strawberries
ever grown. This fruit will begin NOV
inc in carload lots to the large dis
tributing markets about July 1 and
we ask that every housewife insist on
Wisconsin berries for canning pur-
poses.
