J. STECKLER SEED CO., I/TD., ALMANAC AND 



The Kin-Kan orlKum-Quat Orange. 



— This fine Japanese variety of Oranges is 

 one of the most ornamental of all varieties 

 known. The plant is dwarfish, of dense 

 growth, hardy in our section, and will 

 stand our most severe winters. The fruit, 

 unlike any other variety of Oranges, is 

 small, oval in shape, with sour pulp and 

 sweet, finely flavored skin, and should be 

 w f °" ' " ■■n^eied, as the combination of sour 

 pulp and sweet skin is most delightful and 

 rc f.. „i,:„or The fruit may be preserved in 

 1 ■ • ' 1 ways. We have a fine lot of the 

 above variety on trifoliata stools on hand, 

 which we sell at 50c, 75c. and $1.00 each. 

 Japanese Pomelo or Grape Fruit. — 

 (Seedless.) — A decided late fruiting novelty 

 of the Orange fam.ly, which promises to be 

 as great a favorite as the Oonshiu. In taste 

 it does not differ from the so-called "Grape 

 Fruit" of Florida, having a slight tonic 

 flavor, very pleasant, with plenty of juice, 

 and about as large as a Washington Naval, 



though of a flatter shape. The trees are of 

 rapid and robust growth, and being on the 

 trifoliata stock, are very hardy: but expe- 

 rience has not yet shown what amount of 

 cold they can withstand. It grows as large 

 as the seedling orange tree, but being of a 

 more spreading habit it should not be 

 planted closer than 30 or 40 feet each way. 

 Price, 75c. Si. 25 a-ncl $1.50 each. 



Apricots.— The fruit of the Apricot is 

 similar in shape to the Peach, except that 

 it is not downy and is almost perfectly 

 smooth. The leaves are cordate or hea&t- 

 shaped and not long as Peach leaves, and 

 the bark of the wood is coarse grained and 

 not smooth and glossy like Peach wood. 

 Apricots should not be confounded with 

 Nectarines or Naked Fruited Peaches, 

 which are often mistaken for Apricots. We 

 handle the following varieties: Royal y 

 Bungonm, Sa?ita Fee. Price, 40c. each; 

 $4 per doxen.
