21 



PARSON BROWN. 



Fruit medium size, shape round, and with very smooth skin ; 

 ripens early. 



WHITE ORANGE. 



Fruit large, round, light yellow, flesh white, the color of a 

 lemon when cut open, very sweet, texture fine, ripens late, is 

 of a dwarf habit, is more susceptible to frosts than most varie- 

 ties. 



KING ORANGE. 



A native of Siam, imported by Dr. S. R. Magee, of River- 

 side; original trees were twenty-five in number. J. E. Cutter, 

 of Riverside, worked this variety from the original trees on 

 nine-year old trees standing in orchard, and was thus enabled 

 to anticipate all others in obtaining fruit. 



It appears to be a late orange, ripening in May and June, 

 averages below medium in size, very rough rind, segments 

 cleave when fully ripe. It is the highest flavored orange I 

 have ever sampled ; the tree is exceedingly thorny, resembling 

 the lime. Of all oranges it is the least attractive in tree or 

 fruit.
