Pawpaws And Papain
p. 20 · Read in the full issue
SOME South Pacific planters are show ing an interest in the possibility of producing, from the pawpaw tree, some of the papain which is now in de mand in the United States. There have been references to this matter in recent issues of the “PIM.”
One planter in Tonga wants to know where he may procure seeds of the short stemmed variety of pawpaw. We do not know. If any South Seas planter would send this information to us we should be grateful.
