. Bulletin. Agriculture -- New Hampshire. 18 University of New Hampshire [Sta. Bull. 321 after the peak of Alassachusetts supplies. Prices received for the last of the Massachusetts berries and for Maine berries give some indication of what might be expected for berries from northern New Hampshire. In 1939, Maine strawberries sold largely from 16 cents to 19 cents a quart in Boston and at a level considerably above the late Massa- chusetts berries. See Fig. 5 for data on supplies and prices. Premiums paid for tray strav/berries on Boston meu'ket A large portion of "nearb}" berries are marketed in trays in most local markets. On the Farmers' Produce ^Market in Boston both tray and crate berries are quoted. Tray berries have brought an average premium of from one and one-half cents to four and one-half cents per quart over the past eight years. Premiums of two to three cents a quart are most frequent. This premium for tray berries should be considered if growers contem]')late marketing in cities close enough to make tray sales practicable.

Average prices actually received by growers usually run under the averages of quotations on city markets. Studies of prices during the past five years show that: ^Manchester and New Haven. Connecticut, auction prices (weight- ed) averaged about 4 cents a quart below the averages of Hartford prices quoted by the Department of Agriculture in that state.
