Quality of New Zealand Apples.
“ Tasmanian Beaten to a- Frazzle.’’ The manager of a big fruit auctioneering firm, who has just returned from Australia, states: “I compared the Tasmanian apple with the New Zealand apple while I was there, and we have got them beaten to a frazzle. What I saw there suggested to me that Tasmania is doing the same as New Zealand, attaching more importance to the export trade than the local market, and that accounts to a great extent for the large quantity of poor fruit that will always be sent to the various local markets. While I was in Sydney a ship arrived with 10.000 to 12,000 boxes of Tasmanian apples, and they were stuck there because the quality was no good.”
