THE APPLE MARKET
Sir. —Your correspondent "Justice" is still labouring under the impression that my letters are an attack on the grower. I am a grower myself aud such is not the case. If he will refer to my original letter he will discover that I specifically mentioned three well-known varieties of apples, which could be considered in season at that time, and to state thflt X insinuated that 110 mature fruit was then obtainable is manifestly absurd. He is also under the impression that a large quantity of immature fruit will not affect the price of a smaller quantity of good quality stuff, but anyone who has any experience of marketing will be able to assure him that the presence of that low-priced fruit is bound to have a detrimental effect. Finally, 1 would like to thank "Justice .and "Be Fair" for the opportunity they have afforded to givo the subject a trood airing, and will repeat the warninc to housewives not to buy immature fruit, but to buy only those varieties which can be considered in season at the time of purchasing. E. D. Forester.
