HARDY ORANGE. 



CitriiH trifollata.— This has 

 now been in oiir lest "grounds for 

 over three years, and, we are pleas- 

 ed to state, has proved entirely har- 

 dy without protection; a fact we 

 would not believe until we had 

 proved it. The Orangres, though 

 small in size compared with those 

 in the markets, are exceedingly 

 •eautiful. They are. however, too 

 cid to eat out of hand; being used 

 s lemons for making a refreshing 

 nd pleasant drink. It fruits freely 

 ind blooms In spring with wonder- 

 ful profusion. The blossoms are 

 large, pure white and impart the 

 same exquisite fragrance as other 

 oranges. In habit the tree is dwarf, 

 upright, and with abundant, rich, 

 dark green, three-lobed foliage; 

 which remains upon the tree until 

 after frost, and then falls. So val- 

 uable as to well merit cultivation 

 for its beauty alone; or for its de- 

 lightfully fragrant blossoms which 

 are produced in greater or less 

 numbers during almost the entire 

 spring, summer and autumn. Its 

 advantages as a hedge plant are its 

 natural dense habit of growth and 

 the abundance of its sharp thorns. 

 It Is naturally a dwarf tree and will 

 need but little trimming to keep it 

 within' bounds. It has safely withstood a temperature of 18° below zero entirely unprotected. 1 yr. ea., 15c;
