BUSY SEASON STARTS
Hawke’s Bay Fruit Export VIEWS OF MR. N. J. ADAMSON “Although the season has been somewhat late for the earlier fruits, maturity is advancing rapidly with mid-season and late varieties,” stated Mr. N. J. Adamson, orchard instructor for Hawke’s Bay, in the course of an interview with the “Tribune.” The liberal rainfall recently experienced has had the effect of swelling the fruit considerably and hastening maturity. Apples are taking on good colour generally.”
“In many instances,” continued Mr. Adamson, “Jonathans will be ready to pick for export next week, this being about the normal time for this variety. Delicious too are approaching maturity fairly rapidly and will possibly he ready for picking by the first week in March.”
Mr. Adamson said that an extremely busy period would bo experienced by those in the industry during the next six weeks, in coping with the heavy supply of mid-season apples and pears. “A continuation of good weather” ho concluded “is essential if the crop is to be harvested successfully.”
