is one of the most dependable market varieties grown in this state. 

 The October price is rather low (poor stock being offered for 

 the most part) but the price begins to rise at once, and continues

 been $3.18; in 191415 the average price was $2.48.

 1914-15 it was $2.62.

 brought $3.31; the latter $2.40.
