VI PREFACE 



is being overdone" Is not founded on facts. 

 At anytime of year, in practically any market, 

 the supply of first-class, well-packed, high- 

 priced berries is never equal to the demand. 

 There is, however, in some cases, owing 

 partially to the lack of a proper packing 

 standard, or growers' organization, and 

 partly to the oversupply in some markets 

 of a very poor fruit, a glutted market on 

 strawberries for a short time, but these 

 are not the high-class fruit. 



In the words of the law on supply and 

 demand, "Demand is increased by a crop 

 of well-grown, well-packed and properly sold 

 fruit."
