The growing season is approximately three weeks behind last year, and picking and packing of Bartletts is scheduled to start between Au gust 10 and 15. The crop is esti mated at around 2300 cars, the same as last year. No prices are .expected on cannery Bartletts before the first of August.

The price was report ed as somewhat better due to a southern California demand and the high quality of the cherries.
