CANTERBURY ORCHARDS
FRUIT FOR EXPORT (By Telegraph—Special to "The Mail”) CHRISTCHURCH, 23rd February. The indications are that the export ot applos and pears from Canterbury during the coming season will be a record one. It is anticipated that about 25,000 cases will be available for shipment to the United Kingdom, the Continent and the Argentine, which is more than twice tho quantity that has been exported in any previous year. The crops of pip fruit just now are looking particularly well despite the backwardness of the season. They are exceedingly free from disease and the yields promise to be exceptionally heavy as a result, no doubt, of more careful and more frequent spraying. A good quantity is expected to go into 1 ’ cool store for local consumption.
