In previous years, to give these oranges the traditional orange colour found to be most acceptable to majority of housewives, the bulk of them were coloured with a dye certified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as harmless to human beings. This year the Canadian Minister of Health has ordered the discontinuance of this practice of dyeing oranges so that all Florida oranges sold In Canada are now natural colour. It is hoped that Canadian houses-wives will not pass up these oranges because of their unfamiliar yellow or pale colour, under the impression that such oranges are not yet ripa. Actually, all oranges shipped from Florida must pass rigid maturity tests which measure the percentage of sugar and acid and the yield of juice per Ibox. These regulations are established by the Florida Citrus Commission and enforced by Florida Agricultural Department inspectors in col-laboration with the U.S. Department og Agriculture. Reports coming to us from markets all over the U.S. and Canada indicate that Florida's early oranges this season are unusually juicy and sweet. It might also be added that Florida's early oranges have the highest vitamin C content of any varieties produced in the U.S. This means that when the housewife buys Florida early oranges, she gets extra value because these oranges have more juice and more vitamin C than any other oranges available at the same time of year. Sometime in late December or ly January, Florida will start shipping Pineapple oranges. This variety has a deeper colour than the early varieties. Natural coloured Pineapple oranges should find ready acceptance among Canadian housewives just as they do in many sections of the U.S. where this variety is often sold without added colour and is generally regarded as one of the finest oranges produced anywhere, for both juice and for serving as cut up fruit. Then in late February or March, Florida will start shipping Valencia oranges. This variety usually has a rather deep natural colour too. However, the external appearance of this variety, more than the earlier anges, often suffers from a process called "regreening". This usually occurs following a period of heavy rains when the tree sends out an extra shot of chlorophyll. When this happens, oranges which were fully ripe and brightly coloured a week before, suddenly turn partly green. Fortunately, this does not affect the internal quality, for the fruit is just as sweet and juicy after regreening as it was before. A few days later, after exposure to air and sunlight, the orange again develops its full bright colour. If customers will make the first purchase of. Florida natural colour oranges, they will be well satisfied and come back for more. BUSH SCHOOL January 8th, 1957.
