CALIFORNIA FRUITS: HOW TO GROW THEM 



Satsuma. (Unshiu Oonshiu.) A considerable acreage of this variety, 

 planted ten years ago on dwarfing stock, has availed very little commer- 

 cially. At present there is disposition to grow the variety on sweet orange 

 stock because of its earliness, but this practice has been recently con- 

 demned by Florida experience, where it is held it must be grown on the tri- 

 fplicata root. Tree quite hardy, fruit irregular in size, but usually medium 

 size, flattened; rind easily detached; fine texture, sweet and nearly seedless. 



Mandarin, Willow-Leaved. Medium sized, flattened, deep yellow; flesh 

 dark orange, skin loose; tree compact, ornamental. 4 



King. Of the Mandarin class; large, rough-skinned, skin and segments 

 loose, pulp high flavored, sweet, aromatic.
