pruning the trees, always careful at proper 
season, and use above solution over the 
worm. 
GUAVA TREES. 
(Psidium.) 
CATTLEYANUM.—(Yellow Cattley).—A 
small tree producing the Red Cattley 
Guava. $1.00 each; large size, $1.50. 
LEMON TREES. 
American Wonder Lemon. 
AMERICAN WONDER LEMON. — Has 
created a sensation wherever shown. Habit 
dwarfed and vigorous, fruit three times 
the size of any other large Lemon. With 
ordinary treatment cannot fail to give sat- 
isfaction. Experts pronounce it simply 
enormous. Price, 50c., 75c., $1.00 and $1.50 
per tree. Extra large, $3.00 each. 
TABLE OR COMMERCIAL LEMON.— 
No orchard should be without a few of 
these trees. They belong to the Citrus 
family and as all citrus trees do well in 
the Southern States, we know that the 
Lemon will do equally as well. It has been 
grown through California and Florida for 
over half a century. $1.50 per tree. 
LIME TREES. 
The Lime is tenderer than either the 
Orange, Pomelo or Lemon, and should be 
planted in South Florida or the Islands. 
The use of Limes in preference to Lemons 
for summer drinks is becoming more gen- 
eral, the demand far exceeding the supply. 
$1.00 each. 
NECTARINE TREES. 
Require the same culture as the peach. 
The fruit, having a smooth skin, is very 
liable to attacks of the curculio, and must 
be sprayed as soon as the blossoms fall, 
and again every two weeks during May and 
June. They ripen through July and part 
of August. 50ce. each. 
ORANGE TREES. 
BUDDED ORANGE TREES OF THE 
FOLLOWING VARIETIES: 
BRAZILIAN.—This is a new variety in 
Florida, and as yet has not been tested by 
our growers. It is highly recommended 
to us for vigorous growth and producing 
qualities. Fruit is medium late, and re- 
tains its good qualities long after ripen- 
ing. 
GRAPEFPRUIT.—The old “Florida Grape- 
fruit’ was the fruit that first attracted at- 
tention to the Pomelo, and it has since 
become the most popular dessert fruit in 
existence. Great effort has been expended 
in an endeavor to improve it, but so far 
without success. From our view-point the 
“old Florida Grapefruit” is perfect, and, 
therefore, cannot be improved upon, and 
it was from the very best seedling tree 
the writer ever saw, producing the very 
finest fruit possible. 
JAPFA.—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. Flush fine and texture, rich, melt- 
ing and of excellent flavor practically 
seedless; one of the best varieties; has been 
a favorite; does not bear young, but is pro- 
lific after trees attain good size. 
LOUISIANA SWEET ORANGE. — Very 
large, the favorite Orange of Louisiana; 
skin thin, very sweet, very juicy, hardy, 
zood color, favorite in the market of the 
world; none better; grows upright; rather 
bushy; grows in any soil. 
MANDARIN.—Medium in size, flattened, 
deep yellow in color, skin very thin and 
of fine texture. Skin and segments loosely 
adnerent, flesh rather dark orange in color, 
spicy, aromatic and rich in flavor. 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_e profitable 
variety. Not a dwarf. 
CONSHIVU.—The celebrated Oonshiu Or- 
ange Trees, direct from Japan; 2 feet high, 
$1.25 each. 
OTAHEIT ORANGE.—35c. and 50c. each. 
PARSON BROWN (Carhey). itis 
among the best of early fruits. Always 
medium in , size, slightly oblong and 
smooth, thin skin, very heavy, solid and 
juicy; a decidedly sweet and _ delicious 
orange. Fruit will hang on tree in good 
condition until January 15th, but should be 
marketed when ripe. 
SATSUMA.—Medium in size, flattened in 
shape, color yellow, somewhat inclined to 
color of Tangerine; rind and segments part 
Seed Drills, All the Best Kinds.
