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.
