Fig. 40. Special crops such as celery, cucumbers, peas, cabbage, etc.. have a place in the 

 agricultural development of this region. Cabbage on the field of Robert Blemheuber, 

 Marquette. 



sweet corn, and cucumber crops are being produced in Menominee 

 county because there is a local market at the canning factory, in addition 

 to the favorable climate and suitable soil conditions. The possibilities 

 of canning factories in the section are very good, because in addition 

 to truck crops there is an abundant supply of native small fruits such 

 as raspberries and huckleberries. 



Further information on the culture of truck crops can be obtained direct from the 

 Horticultural Department. East Lansing, Michigan.
