Fruits of the Capuchin Orange, Natural Size. iCitrus sinensis (L.) 



OSBECK, S. p. I. No. 54651.) 



When grown in the cUmate of central Chile, this variety slronrfy resembles in appearanee and 

 flavor the Washington navel orange of Cahfornia. Its fruits are sUghtly too sour for Cliileans, 

 who, in common with other South Americans, prefer sweet fruits to those which are subacid. 

 The Capuchin orange, which is believed to have originated in a monnstery at Santiago de 

 Chile, seems worthy of cultivation in other countries for its ornamental value, as well as for 

 the usefulness of its fruit. (Photographed bv Wilson Popenoe, Santiago de Chile, October 7,
