Just how much the Nelson fruitgrowers have felt the recent prolonged spell of rainy weather is conveyed in the following terse sentences of a letter accompanying a> consignment ol' fruit received by a Blenheim fruiterer: “Regret fruit has not been better, but we have had only two days without rain in 26, and still raining. We are losing cases—fruit badly cracked. All the fruit has-to be. wiped before packing, and we are picking in oilskins and with our .boots off.”
