PILING FRESH CIiE;ESES IX READINJ^SS FOR THF WFFKLY MARKET: ALKMAAR 



Brought by boats on the canals from neighboring farms, the golden yellow spheres are 

 spread out in the market for inspection and test by buyers representing the large dealers. 

 After the sale they are taken to the purchasers' warehouses, placed on racks to dry and 

 ripen before they receive their familiar coat of red, and are packed for shipment to all parts 

 of the world (see page 12).
