Child harvesting pineapples. Published in the Florida Dept. of Agriculture Pineapple ABCs Bulletin #125, May 1956 with the caption: "This crop was producing in one season. 560 selected large Natal Queen suckers were planted March 22, 1944, 'smoked' July 14 - as rain followed immediately the treatment was repeated July 19. 545 fruit were produced, averaging about 1 3.4 pounds, fair size for this variety. This picture was taken December 10, 1944. All fruit remaining on December 12 was considered mature enough to be picked that date in order to avoid danger from a predicted frost."
