different places in southern California as well as in the San Joaquin Valley, although 

 huds placed in large seedlings have borne fruit at Mr. Taft's place the last two years. 

 Described by Ryerson in the Journal of Agriculture for November, 1913. 



Fig. 5. — Budded trees of the Ganter have been fruiting for many years in this 

 State. The loose seed is found in the fruit of many varieties, especially of the 

 n.1 is more or less of a defect. (Photo by the Division of Citri-

Taft Hardy (Mex.l. 



A variety propagated by some nurseryman and quite widely distributed a few years 

 ago, but is no longer being propagated. Budded trees are bearing in different 

 localities. 



Taylor (Gnat.) 



A Florida variety described in 1910 under S. P. I. No. 26,710. The original tree 

 is a seedling either of the Challenge or Royal, seeds of which were sent to Washington 

 and planted at Miami in 1908. 



Topa Topa (Mex.). 



Original tree on place of E. S. Thacher, Nordhoff. The tree is one of 122 seedlings 

 which were planted in orchard form in March, 1909, the seed having probably been 

 planted in 1907. In 1911 the tree bore several fruits and has produced crops every 

 year since. In January, 1913, the tree stood a temperature of about 20 degrees, 

 carrying all its leaves uninjured and part of its bloom, maturing some fruit the 

 following season. In 1914 the tree had about 200 fruits, but on account of the 

 greater number they averaged considerably smaller in size. In 1916 the tree set an 

 excessive crop ; many dropped when smaller than eggs and of the rest a considerable 

 share ripened at the stem end first, many dropping off. Several hundred marketable 

 fruits, however, matured. Described by F. O. Popenoe in these Proceedings for 

 October 23, 1915. 



Trapp (W. I.). 



Originated as one of a lot of seedlings planted about 1894 by S. C. Trapp in his 

 garden at Cocoanut Grove, Florida. Described in 1005 under S. P. I. No. 12,937 

 and in the same year more fuily described and figured in colored plate in the Year- 

 book. Considered by Florida growers and shippers to be the best variety for com- 

 mercial planting in that state. Budded trees have been growing in California for
