Orange Growing in Palestine
Transcribed from the clipping
“It is only of recent years that Jaffa oranges have obtained a worldwide reputation, for but some 18 years since they were scarcely known save at Beyroot, Alexandria and Constantinople. A special feature of the Jaffa orange is that it will keep 30 or 40 days, and if properly packed for two and sometimes even three months.”
Context added by this archive
An export trade with a shelf life and a shipping problem, written up for American readers in 1893. Nobody arguing about anything. That is what makes it hard to answer.
