AUCKLAND CITRUS GROWERS' ASSOCIATION.

DISPLAY OF CITRUS FRUITS.

One of the finest exhibits in the Winter Show is the exceptionally fine display of Auckland grown citrus fruits exhibited by Messrs. Turners and Growers, Ltd., managing agents for the Auckland Citrus Growers' Association.

The exhibit gives a very good idea of the wonderful climate of the Auckland province, and the quality of the fruit so daintily arranged proves that we can grow citrus fruits, 'particularly lemons and several varieties of oranges, to perfection. The principal fruit" in the exhibit aro lemons, both ripened and in their green state. Grape fruit, marmalade oranges, Pooraaans and kin kan. ! At least a douen varieties of dessert oranges, including fine specimens of Navelencias, best "seedless, and St. Michael. In addition to the commercial lines there are several varieties of citrus fruits, such as limes, shaddocks and numerous citrons giving ample evidence of the productiveness of the soil and general climate. . The miniature electrically driven train with its freight of lemons, and running round the display at about the speed of! the Auckland-Weilington express, 'has drawn" the children's , attention to the citrus display, anc the artistic effect of the whole arranging of the fruit, has called forth unstinted praise from grown-ups, not only those interested in the fruit business, but the general public. ; Mr. Arundel Turner, of Tumors and Growers, Ltd., designed and , constructed the display. ■
