EARLY GREEN PEAS IN AUCKLAND
EFFECT OF MILD SPRING (Special to The Times) AUCKLAND, September 9. Owing to the unusually mild spring, supplies of green peas have arrived on the Auckland markets much earlier than in other years. Peas, which are so far in very short supply, sold at the markets at 1/3 to 1/9 per lb, while supplies received earlier were being retailed at as much as 2/6. Much heavier quantities are expected in about a week’s time. Fresh asparagus also is on the market already, the wholesale price ranging from 1/- to 2/- a bundle, retail rates being as low as 1/3. This line also is expected to be more abundant shortly. New potatoes are now coming forward in large quantities, selling at the markets from l|d to 4d per lb.
