CHAPTER XXIII. 



Varieties, 



The varieties of oranges are very numerous, the oranges 

 differing more or less in form, size and color. There is also 

 more or less difference in the blossoms. 



I have raised the following varieties, some of which I have 

 fruited. The greater part of them are comparatively worthless, 

 but I give their n imes that seekers after information on the 

 subject of orange culture in California may know what varieties 

 have been cultivated here, which knowledge may possibly save 

 the expense to some of importing some of the varieties. All of 

 them that are worthy of cultivation, and many that are not, can 

 still be found in Los Angeles county : Konah, Acapulco, Large
