BRONZE TABLET IN HONOR OF THE PLANTER OF THE FIRST NAVAL 

 ORANGE TREES IN CALIFORNIA 



Figure 8. It is not known what happened to the original naval orange trees imported from 

 Brazil. There were about a dozen of these, but Mr. Saunders made it plain that the plants he 

 sent to Mrs. Tibbets were budded from the Brazilian trees and were not the original introduc- 

 tions. For the past five years the family of these unheralded plant emigrants has yielded an 

 average crop of 8,400,000 boxes of oranges.
