FOR THE SOUTHERN STATES 
139) 
The deciduousness of the citrus increases 
its hardness; being dormant in winter and 
the circulation of sap very limited, rupture of 
the cells and death to the plant by a freezing 
temperature is nearly impossible in any of our 
Southern States. | 
While any variety of the orange family will 
erow well on the Citrus trifoliata, I would 
advise the use of the Satsuma and other hardy 
varieties lately introduced trom Japan for the 
colder portion of this new untried orange belt. 
The only objection that can be raised to the 
use of the Citrus trifoliata stock is, that it will 
produce smaller or dwarf trees. Ido not con- 
sider this an objection but a quality; more 
trees can be planted in the same space, the 
fruit easier gathered, while the trees can be 
better managed and will be less exposed to 
damage from storms, high winds or tornadoes.
