MUSHROOMS
CARLOADS PICKED DAILY.
Whakaronga, February 12,
There is evidently something in the fertile soil at Whakaronga (about four miles from Palmerston North) that induces mushroom growth, as this district has for many years past been noted for the quality and quantity of this delicacv at certain seasons. Just now the mushroom-picking boom is at its height, and so plentiful are the crops that it is quite a common sight to see the rear seats of motor cars stacked high with mushrooms. Motor cars, motor cvcles, cycles and horses, and in fact almost every known form of transport, may be seen in the. early mornings of suitable days carrying enthusiasts to the dewv fields in search of this appetising breakfast food. It is said to be an easy matter to fill a kerosene tin in a few minutes.
