I^HE Japanese Dwarfed Kumquat is 

 ■*• the smallest of the orange family. 

 The fruit of the variety of "Neiwa," 

 shown here, is large, round and looks 

 very much like a small orange. The 

 "Neiwa" is the sweetest of all the Kum- 

 quats. It is called the "Sugar Sweet." 

 Th,e color of the fruit is a beautiful gold- 

 en yellow. The rind is smooth and aro- 

 matic, and is eaten with the fruit. The 

 latter is delicious as an appetizer or 

 dessert. 



Japanese Dwarfed Kumquats are very 

 fine for pot culture and become fully de- 

 veloped even in the smallest pots. When 

 grown as a pot plant during the winter 

 months, they come into bloom early and 

 medium and large ripe fruit.

A Christmas Holiday Suggestion 



The Florist will readily appreciate the possibilities of using this tree. As a novel and beautiful 

 table decoration, the Kumquat stands alone. This feature is always very popular and especially so 

 during the Christmas holidays. The idea of passing the "orchard" from guest to guest, and letting 

 them pick their dessert from the living tree has met with great suocess. This is only one example of 

 hundreds of novel uses. Among others are as house plants, for children's parties, for window decora- 

 tions, as gifts, etc. 



There is a demand for Kumquat Trees in your community. Are you going to supply it, or let this 

 profit go to someone else? Remember a demand is always supplied. 



We oflfer you Kumquats at a price which will enable you to introduce them on a basis which will 

 permit no competition.
