It is interesting to note that the local producers of Dover furnished 

 660 crates, or 64 per cent of total purchases, that Portsmouth furnished 

 -925 crates, or 61 per cent of total purchases, while the producers around 

 Concord furnished only 468 crates, or 20 per cent of total purchases, and 

 Manchester producers furnished 1,104 crates, or 20 per cent of the total 

 purchases. 



However, since 1925 was a very poor year for strawberries, too much 

 emphasis should not be placed on the demand in any one city. 



On account of the perishable quality of raspberries few are handled by 

 stores. Most of those produced locally are probably sold direct to the 

 consumer.
