NO BOMB THIS
The mail which reached "The Post" contained a suspicious-looking parcel— a small box, in fact, with one end broken away revealing a tuft of cotton wool and the top of a small bottle tightiy tied with string. In these days of bombing outrages, and so on, one might; have been pardoned for handling the parcel gingerly. But there was no need for alarm. The cotton wool was protecting a fat, ripe strawberry, and the bottle contained thick, rich cream, both from "Marlborough the Golden." An enclosed note read: "Seeing your report of late strawberries from Paraparaumu and lacking cream I thought this might interest you, our late season grown-in-the-open, Keist Street, Blenheim. This is the third crop."
