JAFFA ORANGES.
TRIAL SHIPMENT DUE. (Per Press Association.) AUCKLAND, January 20. A trial shipment of Palestine oranges from Jaffa will reach Auckland by the Ulimaroa from Sydney next Tuesday. Comprising about 2000 cases, the consignment will be the first of its kind to be brought to New Zealand. The Jaffa orange. Avhich resembles the South Australian orange in appearance, is very well known in England,-where it has proved popular. It ,is very whether the condition of the fruit will be entirely satisfactory on arrival, as the whole voyage has not been made in cool storage and transhipment was necessary at Sydney. It is realised that the consignment is merely a trial one, but should it prove successful importers will place further orders, thus encouraging producers living under the British flag and diminishing the large sum of money spent annually in the purchase of Californian fruit. As Java, is situated in mandated territory it is possible that oranges will be admitted to New Zealand free .of dutv.
