"It'is questionable whether the growers and the merchants will know what to do with the fruit that will be offering," said a visitor to the Otago Central orchards a few days ago. The stone fruit season promises to be a record one and if the present fine weather continues the flush of the season will be on the growers before they are ready for it. "They have had a wonderful season in Otago Central, and the prospects for extra large apricot and peach crops are fully apparent. Heavy thinning of almost all the stone fruits is proceeding, but there will be plentiful supplies left on the trees. It is many years since the conditions throughout the spring have been so mild and uniform. The growth everywhere has been remarkable."
