Orange Trees. 



In planting an orange 

 grove it is poor business 

 to try to get the cheap- 

 est trees possible. Cheap 

 trees seldom prove 

 healthy and fruitful. Orange nursery trees, 

 to prove vigorous and prolific, should have 

 large, well formed root systems and strong, 

 clean, healthy tops one or two years old. 

 Our trees are grov/n on loose sandy loam 

 land, which permits the root systems to 

 develop properly, and we give them every 

 care and plenty of fertilizer, which makes 

 strong, vigorous tops. 



Notice:— On account of present regula- 

 tions of the Department of Agriculture in 

 Louisiana, we are not allo"wed to ship 

 Citrus Stocks, which include Oranges, 

 Lemons and Grapefruit, excepting in 

 Louisiana. We hope, therefore, to be 

 favored with your orders this fall for 

 Seeds, Bulbs, Plants and Trees, excepting 

 those of Citrus nature. 



BUDDED ORANGE TREES OF THE 

 FOLLOWING VARIETIES: 



GRAPEFRUIT. — From our viewpoint the 

 old "Florida Grape Fruit" is perfect, and 

 therefore, cannot be improved upon.

 large, skin thin, very sweet, very juicy, 

 hardy, good color, favorite in the markets, 

 upright, rather bushy; grows in any soil.

 deep yellow in color, skin very thin 

 and of fine texture. Skin and segments 

 loosely adherent, flesh rather dark orange 

 in color, spicy, aromatic and rich in flavor. 



SATSUMA. — The Satsuma is undoubtedly 

 the hardiest known veriety of edible 

 Orange, and this, in connection with its 

 early ripening and fine quality, makes it 

 an exceedingly valuable sort. The trees 

 are drooping and spreading in habit, thorn- 

 less, and bear when very young. The 

 fruit is of medium size, flattened; rind and 

 flesh segments loosely adhering like all 

 varieties of the Mandarin.

 known "kid-glove" Oranges; belongs to the
