POMELO GROUP VARIETIES. 125 



orange ; seeds forty, grayish in color, roundish and plump ; 

 core 3-4 inch in diameter, pithy; season medium early. 



Mr. E. N. Reasoner, in a personal letter, says: "The 

 Royal pomelo was brought from Cuba (probably) about 

 thirty years ago, and is a large, fine tree yet, in this neigh- 

 borhood. We budded from it and named it in 1891 ; listed 

 it in 1892." 



The fruit is quite desirable, but lacks the character 

 of the pomelo. The tree is a good bearer, probably a 

 hybrid.

 41-4x5 inches; stem small; base slightly creased; color

 sacks large; quality excellent; seeds forty-nine to fifty- 

 nine, large, long, creased; core 7-8 inch, open; season Jan- 

 uary-March. 



The origin of this variety is unknown. C. T. McCarty, 

 Eldred, Fla., from whom specimens were first received, 

 wrote as follows regarding it: "This pomelo is known 

 here as the Standard, or Indian River ; I don't know its 

 origin. It came here from Rockledge sixteen years ago." 

 (Or about 1886.) One of the very best varieties.
