But there is probably only one week duriug that time when every condition is favorable for canning. Early fruit isn't firm; it spoils quickly, and hasn't the proper flavor. Late fruit is hard, small, and o inferior quality. In between them is a time the fruit is large, ripe, cheap. h We think that time is this wee Buy it here and get the best ther is grown. R.
