Orange Trees. 



In planting an orange grove it is poor 



I business to try to get the cheapest trees 



I possible. Cheap trees seldom prove healthy 



and fruitful. Orange nursery trees, to 



I prove vigorous and prolific, should have 



! large, well formed root systems and strong, 



i clean, healthy tops one or two years old. 



Our trees are grown on loose sandy loam 



I land, which permits the root systems to 



develop properly, and we give them every 



I care and plenty of fertilizer, which makes 



strong, vigorous tops. 



Budded Orange Trees of the following 

 varieties: 



Grape Fruit (Duncan.) 

 Satsuma. 

 Louisiana Sweet. 



Prices, 3 to 4 feet, $2.00 each; $23.00 per 

 dozen; $150.00 per 100.
