out Florida and California.

KUMQUATS (Variety Nagami) 
Fruit. About an inch long and olive or egg-shaped; 
color a rich golden yellow; peel (which is edible) smooth, 
aromatic and spicy to the taste; juice somewhat sparse 
but acidulous; sections usually five; seeds two to five. 
The whole fruit, rind and all, is eaten and people be- 
come very fond of it. Preserved in sugar or crystallized 
the Kumquat, wherever it is known, is deservedly popular. 
A Kumquat tree ready for planting 
Tree. Dwarf and bushy in habit; usually when full 
grown 8 to 12 feet in diameter; forming a shapely head, 
rendering it an ornament as a tub plant or placed in the 
garden. An enormous bearer, which retains its fruit for 
months, giving it an added appearance of beauty as well 
as utility. 
History. Downing in his Horticulturist for February, 
1850, makes mention of the Kumquat as a greenhouse 
plant. At a later period it undoubtedly found its way 
into Florida. Reasoner Brothers imported the egg-shaped 
variety in 1885 and the round (known as Nagami) in 
1890. During the rapid development of our citrus indus- 
try from about 1875 to 1895, this fruit undoubtedly found 
its way, with many others, to California from Florida.
