PRICE OF FRUIT.
[To the Editor.] Sir, —There has been a good deal said in the papers of late about the quantity of fruit grown in and sent away from Hawke’s Bay, which province is coming into prominence for fruit growing. Under the circumstances I should like to know the reason of fruit being so scarce and dear in Waipukurau. The quality we get here is of a miserable kind, not in keeping with the price—the highest. The excuse might be because out-of-season fruit has to be imported, but this can hardly hold good, as in Napier recently 1 was'present when prime imported fruit could scarcely be got rid of at auction at any price. No fellah can understand why fruit should be so dear and of such poor quality in Waipukurau. —I am, etc, Consumer.
