STRAWBERRY SEASON
GOOD CROP EXPECTED,
(BI mioRAM.—WECiA'i T6 TBE POST.)
AUCKLAND, This Day. The last few days of warmth and sun-1 shine have had an excellent effect on the Auckland strawberry beds; and day by day_ the supply of berries is increasing." The cold fsnap experienced a fewweeks ago threatened to endanger the early crop, but the plants have made excellent progress since, and supplies are about as good as usual at the beginning of the season. The retail price on Wednesday ranged from Is 6d to Is 9d a chip, but very few of the berries . showed good .colour. Only one or two crates have been forwarded to W*llington. Birkdale and Northcote have sent in the earliest 1 supplies, but the fruit is now coming forward from Mount Roskijl. The general opinion is that there will be a, good crop right through th» season^ * ,
