J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



We have the small Pecan nuts used to 

 raise seedlings or stools to bud or graft 

 upon, at 15c. per lb., $12.00 per 100 lbs. 



Special Notice. 



Our prices are low considering the 

 grade of trees we sell. On comparing our 

 trees with those grown crowded together 

 in seed bed, without transplanting, four 

 or five feet high — mere switches — drawn 

 up; because of this condition, a large 

 percentage of them die on being planted 

 in the orchard. Our trees are all trans- 

 planted before budding, are given room 

 to grow, making strong stocky trees, well 

 rooted and in condition to bear trans- 

 planting in orchard without injury to the 

 trees. They should all grow if properly 

 planted. Our customers who have planted 

 both grades of trees will endorse this 

 statement.

Budded Orange Trees of the Following 

 Varieties: 



Jaffa. Fruit medium in size, rather 

 oval in shape, skin thin and very smooth 

 like the Louisiana Sweet, somewhat re- 

 sistant to rust mite, and usually bright 

 and glossy. Flesh fine of texture, rich, 

 melting and of excellent fiavor, practi- 

 cally seedless; one of the best varieties; 

 has been a favorite; does not bear young 

 but is prolific after trees attain good size. 

 This variety is adapted to pine lands 

 where fruit is not inclined to crease; we 

 do not recommend it for heavy planting* 

 on hammock lands, or where damp, foggy 

 mornings are likely to occur during ship- 

 ping season. This condition of atmos- 

 phere will crease fruit. Trees of up- 

 right growth, symmetrical in shape, no 

 thorns. 



Satsuma. Medium in size, flattened in 

 shape, color yellow, somewhat inclined 

 to color of Tangerine; rind and seg- 

 ments part freely; flesh fine grained, ten- 

 der, juicy, sweet and delicious, entirely- 

 seedless, and one of the earliest varieties 

 known; fruit always ripe in November 

 and of good quality in early October. 

 Tree thornless, of distinct habits, and 

 very prolific; bears young, usually fruits 

 when bud is one year old in nursery. 

 Well adapted to all classes of soil, and 

 so hardy that it may be grown on the 

 citrus trifoliata stock, in the extreme 

 northern citrus fruit growing section, 

 and farther north than any other variety. 



Washington Navel. Trees almost thorn- 

 less, strong growers. Fruit large, red- 

 orange in color; skin thick, smooth and 

 tough; seedless, fiesh tender, juicy and 

 sweet; flavor peculiarly its own, luscious 

 and fine. Peculiarly marked at blossom 

 end, where a small secondary orange, 

 irregular in shape, is formed, imbedded 

 within, sometimes protruding from the 

 segments of the fruit. 



Mandarin. Medium in size, flattened, 

 deep yellow in color, skin very thin and 

 of fine texture. Skin and segments loose- 

 ly adherent, fiesh rather dark orange in 

 color, spicy, aromatic and rich in fiavor. 

 Tree vigorous, compact in growth, bears 

 young and is very prolific. This variety 

 is largely planted in Louisiana. Does 

 well on all classes of soils where citrus 

 fruits are grown, and we consider it a 

 profitable variety. Not a dwarf. 



Parson Brown. (Carhey.) It is among 

 the best of early fruits. Always medium 

 in size, slightly oblong and smooth, thin 

 skin, very heavy, solid and juicy, a de- 

 cidedly sweet and delicious orange. 

 Fruit will hang on tree in good condition
