  Bois 
  defer. 
  — 
  This 
  tree 
  is 
  scarce 
  in 
  our 
  forests; 
  it 
  produces 
  bunches 
  of 
  a 
  

   fruit 
  resembling 
  Nephelium 
  longan 
  which 
  are 
  devastated 
  before 
  ripening 
  by 
  

   monkeys 
  and 
  bats. 
  The 
  pulp 
  of 
  these 
  fruits 
  makes 
  excellent 
  jelly 
  and 
  jam 
  

   which 
  recall 
  those 
  of 
  quince. 
  The 
  tree 
  is 
  fine 
  and 
  its 
  wood 
  of 
  an 
  extreme 
  

   tenacity.

  Sampson. 
  "This 
  is 
  a 
  hybrid 
  between 
  the 
  ordinary 
  grapefruit 
  or 
  pomelo 
  

   (female 
  parent) 
  and 
  the 
  Dancey 
  tangerine 
  (male 
  parent). 
  The 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  fruit 
  

   is 
  much 
  like 
  that 
  of 
  an 
  orange. 
  Its 
  size 
  is 
  midway 
  between 
  the 
  pomelo 
  and 
  

   tangerine. 
  In 
  flavor 
  it 
  is 
  sprightly 
  acid, 
  but 
  rather 
  sweeter 
  than 
  the 
  pomelo. 
  

   Its 
  most 
  pronounced 
  characters, 
  however, 
  are 
  the 
  looseness 
  of 
  the 
  rind 
  and 
  the 
  

   ease 
  with 
  which 
  the 
  segments 
  can 
  be 
  separated; 
  in 
  these 
  qualities 
  it 
  partakes 
  

   of 
  the 
  nature 
  of 
  the 
  tangerine. 
  In 
  short, 
  the 
  fruit 
  is 
  much 
  like 
  a 
  high-flavored 
  

   orange, 
  but 
  has 
  a 
  trace 
  of 
  the 
  sprightly 
  flavor 
  of 
  the 
  grapefruit. 
  The 
  tree 
  is 
  an 
  

   early 
  and 
  abundant 
  bearer. 
  The 
  Sampson 
  tangelo 
  is 
  of 
  course 
  no 
  hardier 
  than 
  

   either 
  parent 
  and 
  can 
  be 
  grown 
  only 
  in 
  the 
  orange 
  belts 
  of 
  Florida 
  and 
  Cali- 
  

   fornia." 
  (W. 
  T. 
  Swingle.) 
  

  

  Note. 
  — 
  This 
  Sampson 
  tangelo 
  is 
  exactly 
  the 
  same 
  as 
  Nos. 
  13004 
  and 
  21596, 
  

   except 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  grafted 
  on 
  Citrus 
  trifoliata 
  stock.
