THE ORANGE FAMILY. 469 



Sevillano. Very large, obovate, oblique; color purple. A very 

 large Spanish variety used exclusively for pickling. Succeeds best in 

 dry interior climates and does well in South Arizona. 



Uvaria. Small to medium, oval ; color dark purple. Season, very 

 late. The fruit grows in clusters, and in shape resembles grapes; 

 hence it is very prolific. It has a very high percentage of oil. 



THE ORANGE FAMILY. 



The orange family includes the cultivated oranges, lemon, lime, 

 shaddock, citron, pomelo, and kumquat. Chapter XV of Part I 

 gives something of the history, propagation, culture, pruning, cur- 

 ing, and uses of these fruits. 



LEADING VARIETIES OF THE ORANGE. 



Amory Blood (Amory's Malta Oval). Medium to large, roundish; 

 color yellow. Flesh with red veining, melting; quality good. Sea- 

 son, quite early. A fine tree of robust habit in Florida that has 

 proven a good cropper. 



Australian Navel. A coarser type of the Navel, but about equal

 coarser markings of the skin and all the external parts. The tree 

 appears to be hardier than the species in North California and Arizona.

 melting, rather rich; quality very good. A variety originating in 

 Florida now being planted quite extensively.

 Season, very early. Originated in Florida and has been considerably 

 planted on account of its early ripening.

 that will hang on the tree without deterioration until summer.
