FINE ORANGES. 



T. A. Garey, from San Francisco, presented sev- 

 eral specimens of Carey's Mediterranean Sweet Or- 

 ange, to show in what a good state of preservation 

 this fruit will keep to so late a period as the middle 

 of August. The specimens were cut and tested by 

 those present. They were of a fine texture, solid, 

 juicy, of a good flavor, and looked as though they 

 would remain on the trees unimpaired in quality for 

 a month longer. Mr. Garey claims for this fruit the 

 following good qualities : 



This orange commences to fruit the second year 

 from the bud. 



It bears heavy and regular crops. . 



The fruit commences to ripen in December, and 

 remains sound and firm on the tree until the follow- 

 ing August. 



It is of large size, symmetrical shape, and extraor- 

 dinary fine color.
