POT-GROWN PLANT OF WASE SATSUMA 

 Figure 2. It is not known how the Japanese Satsuma orange originated, but it has been 

 cultivated for at least three hundred years. Concerning the Wase variety, we know quite definitely 

 that it was discovered about twenty years ago as a bud sport of great promise in a grove of oranges 

 on the Island of Kyushu. The fruit of the Wase is large and flat and matures much earlier than 

 the other varieties of Satsuma orange. Photograph by E. L. Crandall.
