bushes grow.
The popular high bush huckleberry
is larger and has fewer seed than its

higher price. This year the price has
ranged from 10 to II cents quart.

Veteran huckleberry pickers have
learned to concentrate upon their
work rather than upon the depreda-

They know from experience that

The unusually good crop of berries
