ple variety that would be most suitable to Hawaii. The
Jamaican variety known as the Smooth Cayenne which he introduced is
still the predominant strain grown in Hawaii.

In 1899 a young New Englander, James B. Dole, built a cannery next to
pineapple growing on his own lands in Wahiawa on Oahu. The first year's
output in 1903 was 1800 cases. Today the Dole company packs this amount
in just a few minutes.

Pineapple takes nearly two years of careful tending before it matures.
Then each low-growing plant yields only one fruit. A year later the same
plant will produce one or two more pineapples; then the whole process
must be repeated.

At harvest time, pickers move through the fields placing the fruits on
long-armed conveyors, a process which at the peak of the season
continues on into the night with the help of lighted booms.

Only those who have tasted a field-ripened Hawaiian pineapple know what
real pineapple is all about. The airport is full of enlightened visitors
who are taking cartons of these succulent fruits home with them.
