Fruits and Berries. 

 Strawberries are generally said to be a good crop, with 

 prices average, but the quality of the early berries suffered 

 somewhat from the wet weather and lack of sun, and the 

 crop has been generally delayed in ripening. Raspberries, 

 blackberries and currants promise remarkably well. Pears, 

 plums and cherries promise good average crops. Apples 

 promise well for an off year, though there will be but very 

 few Baldwins. Peaches will not be a full crop, but present 

 indications point to there being more harvested than for 

 several years past. It is too early to predict as to cranber- 

 ries, but present indications are good. Wild berries of all 

 kinds seem likely to fruit very heavily.
