ORANGES FROM JAFFA
A TRIAL CONSIGNMENT Dominion Special Service. 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, which resembles the South Australian orange in appearance, is very well known in England, where it has proved popular It is very problematical 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 tlie British flag and diminishing the large sum of money spent annually in the purchase of Californian fruit. As Jaffa is situated in mandated territory, it is possible that oranges will be admitted to New Zealand free of duty.
