Orange Trees. 



- In planting an orange 

 grove it is poor business 

 to try to get the 

 cheapest 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 grown 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 piesent regula- 

 tions of the Department of Agriculture in

 orders this fall for Seeds, Bulbs, Plants

Varieties should be carefully selected, 

 to have them adapted to the section where 

 they are to be planted. This done, good 

 trees planted on new land with good drain- 

 age, and carefully cultivated, will bring

 satisfactory fruits that can be grown.

Kumquats. 



The Kumquat is the smallest of the Cit- ; 



rus fruits in general cultivation in this i

bushes, for they do not make trees. The { 



plant grows to a height of 10 to 12 feet, i 

 with a spread of branches about equal to 

 its height. The bright dark green leaves 



and deep golden yellow fruits make a very i 



pleasing combination of color. The flowers j 



are small, sweet-scented and appear in June ' 



on the shoots produced earlier in the same j 



season. The fruit ripens during the tall I 



and winter, beginning with the month of j 



November. Used for preserving. $1.50 I
