week end filling your market
basket, what with all the pro-
duce pouring in from nearby
farms and gardens. We're in the
peak of the summer harvest.
Vegetable items are a little bit
lower in price, due to volume,
but fruit stays at about the
same level. Peaches, for example,
are cheaper and this holds for
pears, too, but on the other hand
Persian melons are a luxury. In
excellent supply are home
grown tomatoes, potatoes, onions,
green beans, broccoli, cauli-
flower, okra, limas, black-eyed
peas, corn, cabbage, and a vart-
ETY. of cooking greens. Summer
squash is at its best, this in
cludes all three varieties, the
yellow crook neck, patty pen
and the green zucchini. Romaine.
chicory, eScarole and lettuce are
recommended buys for the salad
bowl.
On the fruit side, you'll never
find a better selection. From
California come the blue-black
ribiers, the small green Thomp-
son SeedleSs, red malaga and
from the New York vineyards,
the blue Concord. BartlettS are
slightly cheaper this week and
plentiful. Add to your list
peaches from nearby orchards,
plums, the melon family, and
California lemons. Blueberries
are on the wane, about another
week will see the end of them.
The best eating apple right now
is the Gravenstein; for pies Sc
lect the summer Rambo.
Show Beef
We were going to skip any
mention of beef this week but
when we stumbled on this bit of
news, We had to pass it along.
One meat dealer we talked with
told us he was expecting a ship
ment of Iowa All show baby
beef by the end of the week. If
you want a few cuts to lay aside
in your home freezers, this
dealer will cut, wrap, freeze and
deliver. You can order any cut
you want and any amount.
All meat items, except pork,
are selling at reasonable prices.
Even lamb has dropped a bit.
The one pork product that will
be featured is the smoked picnic.
Poultry continues to be a good
buy and that holds for veal.
