Abstract
THE pineapple industry of Hawaii has been built up within the last forty years. In 1896 a large consignment of plants of the ‘Smooth Cayenne’ variety was imported from Queensland and formed the foundation of the present industry. A few thousand canned fruit were produced by 1902, and by 1913 the production had risen to 2,600,000 cases. It has now reached the enormous total of 12,000,000 cases, or about 300,000,000 marketable fruit per annum.
