Jobbing prices for red raspberries in New Hampshire towns In an average of 46 towns in both 1937 and 1938 information was obtained on buying and selling prices of red raspberries for retail stores. Since the average prices for the state were almost the same in both years the prices for both years have been consolidated in one table. Only towns from which three or more reports were obtained are included. See Table X for detailed figures. Raspberry prices to growers Average prices for red raspberries in New Hampshire have been consistently good over a period of years. If growers would travel through such states as New York and Ohio during raspberry season and note prices there, they would return with greater appreciation of the prices they receive here. Raspberry prices fluctuate less from year to year, than strawl^erry prices. Weighted averages of ])rices reported by growers ranged from about 11 cents to 16 cents per pint on jobbing sales and 13 cents to 18 cents per pint on retail sales during the past four 3'ears (1936-1939). Average jobbing prices between 11 and 12 cents have been common and onlv in a few cases. 1 ^ 6 11 It is la ^l ZA- &7 00 1*4 iV £*0 ^ &6 ^» JLLV. 11 14- 17 20 1 4 i" 10 li 16 lb i*£. Fig. 7.
