MANDARIN ORANGES VARIETIES. H3 



small, rather irregular in size; juice sacks broad and 

 blunt like those of the mandarin oranges, of medium size; 

 flesh coarse grained, melting, orange yellow in color; juice 

 abundant, acidity and sweetness well blended; flavor rich 

 and vinous, quality very good; pith proportionately large, 

 1-2 to 5-8 inch across; seeds present, wedged, broad and 

 flat or oval, large, 5-8 x 5-16 inch; cotyledons white or 

 sometimes a greenish one is found; season, September- 

 October. 



The Tangerona orange originated in Brazil and was 

 introduced into Florida a number of years ago. It is 

 not cultivated to any extent. The quality is very good, 

 but the small size is against it, and it is very susceptible to 

 injury from frost. It appears to be a hybrid between 

 one of the mandarin oranges and one of the sweet 

 oranges.
