At any time of year, in practically any market, 
the supply of first-class, well-packed, high-

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.”
