126 CITRUS FRUITS AND THEIR CULTURE. 



The original tree of this variety grew in the yard of 

 the Orange Grove Hotel at Tampa, but was killed during 

 the severe winter of 1894-95. Propagation of the Triumph 

 pomelo was commenced in 1884. 



Walters. (Walter.) Form oblate ; size 33-4x4 7-8 

 inches; stem small; color pale yellow; rind smooth, 1-4 

 inch thick ; oil cells almost flush with the surface ; sections 

 thirteen, large; bitter principle strongly marked; acidity 

 and sweetness good; quality very good; seeds fifty-eight, 

 large, plump, wedge-shaped or irregular; core 3-4 inch in 

 diameter, solid; season medium. 



The Walters pomelo was introduced in 1887 by a Mr. 

 Walters, assisted by Waite Bros. The original tree grew 

 near the village of Belleview, Marion County, Fla. 



In habit of growth this tree very closely resembles 

 the Hall, and by some they are thought to be the same, 

 but the origin of the two is entirely different as may be 

 noted from the descriptions. The seeds show a distinct 

 varietal difference.
