In Fiji
From Our Own Correspondent SUVA, July 31.
YOUNG strawberry plants flown from New Zealand are reported to be doing well at the Pix plantations on the south coast of Viti Levu. If the experiment succeeds the fruit will be pulped and made into essence in New Zealand.
The Pix plantations specialise in pine apples, but have branched out with the off-season production of fruit cordials.
The product is being sold at sd. or 6d. below the price of bottles of imported cordials of comparable quality.
Dr. and Mrs. F. R. Hollins, of Suva, Fiji, were in Melbourne, in July, en route to the United Kingdom where they will spend 12 months.
