REVIEW, The Bioscope, December 10, 1914:

"Well arranged and well photographed glimpses of an industry which is not remarkable for any features of striking novelty or interest. The photography of the one or two interior pictures in the film is as good as difficult conditions allow it to be."

REVIEW, The Moving Picture World, August 8, 1914:

"A clearly photographed topical full of interest. It shows the whole process of growing and marketing pineapples."
