The Citrus Tree for Ornament 



San Dimas, California 



The Citrus Tree an Object of Beauty, 



. 



AN OBJECT OF INTEREST: A CITRUS TEEE BUDDED TO 22 DIFFERENT VARIETIES. 

 Embracing Navels, Valencias, Seedlings, Tangerines, Pomelos, Lemons, Etc. 



IT will be noticed that in the foregoing descriptions no cog- 

 nizance has been given to the value of Citrus trees for 

 ornamental planting in the garden or on the lawn, nor 

 the decorative values of the kid glove sorts as objects of beauty 

 in hall and corridor, piazza and conservatory. To meet this 

 demand, we grow a small number of extra choice trees in pots and 

 tubs each season to which the attention of plant and tree lovers 

 with only a limited area of land to devote to horticultural pur- 

 poses is called. These, for the most part, cover all the standard 

 sorts, though in addition to these we also grow a limited number 

 of trees budded from two to six varieties of oranges and lemons 

 to the single tree. Plants so treated possess an attraction 

 beyond the usual, being within themselves a composite product 

 of the striking characteristics of the different habits and char- 

 acteristics of fruit]_and tree covering the number of varieties 



so budded to a single root or stock. These we especially recom- 

 mend to planters of small home grounds where space will admit 

 of only one or two citrus trees. 



For city and suburban home grounds these specially grown 

 and budded trees possess an economic and ornamental value 

 which entitles them to first consideration. No evergreen tree 

 possesses a grace and beauty beyond that of our well-grown 

 orange and lemon trees. When to this is added the fruit product 

 of citrus trees, it is obvious that no home garden or orchard can 

 be considered complete without a representation. 



If people contemplating planting their home places will kindly 

 write us the area of ground to be given to citrus trees, we shall 

 be pleased to give suggestions as to varieties, numbers, etc., in 

 order to produce a pleasing effect and at the same time season- 

 able fruiting varieties.
