The recent spell of dry weather has tended to have an adverse effect upon Auckland second-bed strawberries which are now on the market. Prices at the city markets the other day range from ou. ’to Is. a chip ter good grade berries, which, however, were not up to the quality secured from the first beds before Christmas (states the Auckland “Herald”). The berries in many cases are much smaller and have lost tlie richness in colour and taste that was a feature earlier in the season. However, the wholesale demand is good, and sales arc still ready in the shops.
