CITRUS GROWERS
ADVERTISING CAMPAIGN At a recent meeting of the Auck» land Citrus Association it was stated (says the New Zealand Smallholder) that the late advertising campaign entered into to popularise this fruit was very successful, and increased thc demand and also the prices at which the fruit was sold on the open market. It was resolved to ask the Institute of Horticulture to approve of thc dessert fruit being recognised under the name of “New Zealand grape fruit/’ In a recent letter received’ by Mr Geo. A. Green from Mr Geo. Quinn, of the Agricultural Department of South Australia, Mr Quinn stated that samples of the poorman (New Zealand grape fruit) sent to him had kept twelve weeks from the time it was picked in Auckland, and then had been sampled by himself and a number of the leading growers, and that the verdict of all present was that it was not only seedless, but had a flavour superior to the pomelo, while its keeping qualities are remarkable. All were sure of a great future for it.
