Citrus and Tropical Fruit Culture 
ALGERIAN TANGERINE 
Fruit. Similar in appearance to the Dancy Tangerine 
but matures much earlier. Of excellent quality and size; 
nearly seedless. 
ALGERIAN MANDARIN 
Fruit, Similar in appearance to the ordinary Man- 
darin but ripens very much earlier. The quality is good. 
Tree. Not quite as vigorous as other types of Man- 
darins, but is very productive and its fine willow like 
foliage makes it a very attractive tree for home and orna- 
mental planting. 
Oonshiu or Satsuma orange 
Tree. A vigorous upright grower and fully as prolific 
as the Dancy. We consider it a valuable introduction. 
History. Introduced by Geo. C. Roeding from buds 
sent from Algiers by Dr. Trabut of the French Govern- 
ment Experiment Station. 
Willow -I caved Mandarin orange 
King Mandarin orange 
History. Introduced by Geo. C. Roeding from buds

STANDARD VARIETIES OF LEMONS 
Lisbon lemon 
EUREKA LEMON 
Fruit. In shape oblong and of medium size ; peel of 
fine texture and good protective quality and rich yellow. 
color; flavor of strong citrus quality; juice free and 
abundant, with but little "rag"; cures and keeps well, 
giving it high rank in the trade. 
Tree. Stalwart grower and comparatively free from, 
thorns; prolfic bearer, blooming and setting fruit con- 
tinuously throughout the year, but especially a good crop- 
per during the summer months. 
History. Originated as a chance seedling in the grounds 
of Mr. C. R. Workman, from seed imported in 1872 from 
Hamburg. A few years later its fine qualities attracted 
Mr. Thomas A. Garey, one of the leading nurserymen of 
that day, who commenced to propagate large numbers of 
trees of this variety by budding, thus exploiting and 
pioneering the way to its dissemination pretty much over 
California, wherever the lemon finds congenial conditions.
