' Other years at this time apples were almost twice as high as this season. Good quality eating apples should retail for $1.50 up, ' while cookers should be even lens. This is the first time in three Qr four years that the price has been so low. Larger varieties are inclined to be scarce and a little higher in price. Medium Rises are plentiful and cheap.
