Market Tips
By LUCE EBERLY.

WHEN one sees peaches In the
w market one knows that Summer
has surely arrived! Clinsstone peaches
from Florida have made their seasonal
debut and are selling by the dozen.
They are good sized and well ripened.
Other new arrivals this week are
huckleberries, or blueberries, from
Carolina-and blackberries, the DR..
Wiley variety, from nearby Maryland.
They are coming In good lots, too.
Though they are Q little earlier than
they were last year, they are equally
as nice as they will be later in the
season. Strawberries-the solid and
full-flavored ones, are at their prime.
Merchants say that they are Is cheap
now Is they will be at any time Of
the year and advise the enterprising
housekeeper to do some Of her pre-
serving now before the very hot
weather descends upon us. Cantaloupes
from California have dropped amas-
ingly in price. They are, Of course.
still priced according to size. but We
saw nice ones selling for very little.
Honeydews are more plentiful this
week. Citrus fruit, we observe, Is
doing its best to hold its own. Oranges
are still coming in fairly good lots,
and are large and heavy with juice.
Lines are plentiful and reasonable.
Pineapple Is still being received in
large and good shipments and Is also
cheaper In price. Bing cherries are
now coming in regularly and are much
less expensive.
A SPARAGUS Is one Of the vegetable
buys this week. The home grown
variety Is the only kind to be had
now in the markets and stores. and
you are certain to find it unusually
fine. Large home grown hot-house
tomatoes are on the market now, too.
Romaine is coming in again Git was
hard to get for q while, you know &.
Boston lettuce continues to be popular
and Is being received in generous lots.
Spring onions and radishes, both home
grown, are at their peak. Watercress
is excellent-in fact all greens appear
to be exceptionally good. Small white
onions for boiling and creaming are
being featured almost everywhere, Is
are the tiny new potatoes. Texas corn
improves with each shipment. The
ears are large and full and the kernels
small and tender. Okra is still avail
able ut most of the stands and con-
tinues to be popular along with other
Spring and Summer greens.

business In the cold cut-meat line.
Bologna, boiled ham, liverwurst and
other picnic items are selling rapidly.
Weinies, or frankfurters, are. OF
course, popular. One butcher was
demonstrating . new smoked variety
that he had just added to his already
large stock Of meats and sausage. Lit

an electric grill sent forth an aroma
that made our mouth water. When
we sampled the new sausage We
promptly bought pound! Smoked

IDENTIFY Summer favorite.
FRESH turkey is still available, and
we understand that the public Il
