CITRUS FRUITS AND THEIR CULTURE. 



that of most pomelos; base smooth, or sometimes slightly 

 creased; rind 3-16 inch thick; oil cells slightly indented; 

 sections fourteen, large, variable in size; bitter principle 

 strongly developed; acidity and sweetness well marked; 

 juice almost transparent ; seeds thirty- two, small, roundish, 

 plump, quite a number aborted; season February-March. 

 There has been considerable discussion over the origin 

 of this variety, but it seems to be a fact well established 

 that it was originated by John W. Hall, of Caloosa, Fla. 

 The original tree was grown from seed sown by him when 

 he first came to the State about 1885. The synonymy as 

 given above may be open to some objections, but in naming 

 it the credit has been given to Dr. Hall, to whom it is 

 believed to be due.
