CHAPTER II. 



FOREIGN VARIETIES RECOMMENDED FOR TRIAL. 



CLASS B. 



The varieties given under this head, aside from the "White 

 and King Orange," are but little known in this State; they have, 

 however, began fruiting to a limited extent and may yet prove 

 to be very desirable. Professor Van Deman speaks very highly 

 of them and recommends that they be thoroughly tried in this 

 State; the White Orange should also be given a fair trial, al- 

 though I doubt if it will ever become popular in the market, 

 as people prefer that rich color the orange possesses. The 

 King Orange is also new and well worth to be tried. 



JAFFA. 



Fruit of medium size, heavy, and juicy, thin skinned, also 

 very smooth, a remarkably handsome grower, very straight, and 

 nearly thornless. 



MAJORCA. . 



Fruit medium size, shape nearly round, a very handsome 

 smooth orange, little pulp and few seeds, heavy and juicy. 



HART'S TARDIFF. 



Fruit medium size, shape slightly oval, very solid, color pale 

 yellow, heavy and juicy, ripens very late. In Florida it ripens 

 in July and August.* 



*Has fruited with A. D. Hayth at Riverside. Mr. Hayth says it is a late orange, 

 but likes Mediterranean Sweet better.
