STRAWBERRY GIRL.
" Strawberries! Strawberries! fine, ripe and red!
As your lips, little lady, that smile at the sight,"
See how the glow from that sad face has fled!
Buy—buy her Strawberries! buy ere the night J
Strawberries are among the earliest, as well as the most delicious fruits
with which we are favored. In the month of June this welcome fruit makes
its appearance in the markets, soon after which the Strawberry girls are seen
with their large baskets, filled with smaller ones, in which the tempting
fruit is placed, carefully covered with fresh green leaves. Four or five
of these small baskets are required to make a quart. The early price
is twenty-five cents the basket, which is reduced, as they become plenty,
to five or six cents. The season of Strawberries, which lasts but three or four
wteks, is followed by that of Raspberries, Blackberries and Whortleberries.
