RED BERRIES. 



The trade in red berries bids fair to 

 be larger than ever this season. Already 

 Frisco retailers are being pestered by the 

 farmers and green-goods hucksters to 

 place orders for the season's supply. 

 The red-berry industry results in the 

 handling of hundreds of tons of the Het- 

 eromeles arbutifolia yearly and with a 

 great many farmers is one gf their chief 

 sources of income. Up to the present 

 time the weather has been favorable for 

 the ripening of the berries and large, 

 bright, plump bunches are the result. If 

 the conditions remain good until the 

 bunches are matured there will be little 

 diflSculty in harvesting any quantity of 

 good stock. Should we get a few weeks 

 of foggy weather, coupled with frost, the 

 chances will not be so good for bright 

 clusters. The foggy weather turns them 

 black, but as fog only reaches to certain 

 localities, the places far inland can al- 

 ways be depended on to produce good 

 material. But this makes the handling 

 and shipping more expensive and adds 

 greatly to the cost. 



The frost, unless it is very severe, does 

 not spoil full-grown clusters, and if it 

 does not show until late in the season, 

 after plenty of growing weather, there 

 is little to fear from it. The present 

 season, however, has been backward in 

 the fact that there has been little warm 

 weather anyTvhere on the coast, and as a 

 result the berries are not so far ad- 

 vanced as they usually are at this time. 

 However, up to the present writing the 

 prospects are good. 



Many worthless berries are sent to 

 Frisco every year. This is not so much 

 because they are poor when picked but 

 because no judgment is shown in the 

 packing. They should be packed dry. 

 This is imperative, because if there is 

 the least inclination toward heating the 

 berries invariably fall off the stems and 

 this renders them worthless. 



Another good point is to have the ber- 

 ries so packed that they will not touch 

 the sides of the box. This is the only 

 way to keep them from bruising. Never 

 put them in sacks or open crates. Al- 

 ways pack dry, in closed boxes. Do not 

 cut them on too long stems, unless for 

 some special purpose. The tendency to 

 dry out is too great. If long stems are 

 wanted, the boxes should be lined with 

 burlap or paper. 



Berries for shipment should not be 

 picked too ripe or too green, as the color
