prepared with sugar. He had received an account of 

 the first lot sent to England, which was very much liked 

 and arrived in first-rate condition. The specimens then

 flavour of the fresh fruit than the first samples. He 

 hoped to be able to prepare them in such a way that they 

 would keep long enough for shipment and still be moist 

 and full-flavoured. A number of sample boxes had been 

 sent to England by the previous Mail, and other samples 

 had been distributed to several persons in the colony, 

 who had all expressed satisfaction with their flavour and 

 appearance.
