The Satsuma Orange. 
The disastrous freezes of 1894 and '95 have demonstrated the value of the Satsuma Orange, for while 
they could not come through such an ordeal without 
great damage, yet the total loss of groves, that have 
cost the labor of long years, has emphasized the 
value of an Orange which has the following advan- 
tages : The hardiest known variety ; the earliest to 
come into bearing — 3 years; ripens in October, and 
commands fancy prices ; a kid glove Orange ; thorn- 
less, and seedless. We have strong faith in the 
value of the Satsuma, and believe it is destined to 
widen the area of successful Orange growing. Its 
dwarf habit of growth especially fits it for green- 
house cultivation. We have a fine stock of Satsumas 
budded on the hardy Citrus tri/oliala. 
Tlie Trifoliate Orange. 
(Citrus trifoliata.) 
A new hardy Orange. This is the most hardy 
Orange, being adapted to our cooler as well as the 
warmer climates. Its leaves are a beautiful glossy 
green, of a trifoliate nature. It has a blossom more 
fragrant than any other Orange blossom, rather 
smaller, and bears profusely small fruit of a bright 
orange-red color, which, however, is not suitable 
for eating. It is a dwarf tree, with symmetrical 
growth, suitable for pot culture or for the lawn. 
This tree, covered with an abundance of fragrant blossoms in early spring and summer, afterwards with 
small, bright fruit, is a pleasing sight ; a great addition to the lawn. It is the very best stock for the 
Satsuma Orange.

Dancy Tangerine. The Tangerine is the best 
mid-season variety of the Mandarin family. The 
skin is easily detached from the pulp, which is juicy 
and of very good quality. The fruit is showy, mak- 
ing a fine appearance on the market, and therefore it 
always brings a good price. The tree is a good 
grower, nearly thornless, and very prolific. 
Parson Brown. This is without doubt the very 
best of the early varieties. Our buds are from the 
famous Carney variety. The fruit is delicious and 
sweet in October, is slightly oblong, has a smooth, 
thin skin, and is a good shipper. 
Majorca. This is an importation by Gen. San- 
ford from the Island of Majorca, in the Mediter- 
ranean. The fruit is one of the best in flavor and 
quality, is medium size, round, rich and juicy. 
Washington Navel. This fruit is too well-known 
to need much description. The fruit is very large, 
but of a delicious flavor, with a medium to thick 
skin. The tree is a very large, spreading one, and is 
naturally prolific. 
Pierce’s Ruby. This Orange was one of a col- 
lection of varieties imported by Mr. R. W. Pierce, 
who named it Ruby. The fruit is small to medium, 
round, and very well flavored. It has a thin skin and 
but few seeds. The tree is fairly vigorous, nearly 
thornless, a prolific, regular, and early bearer. 
Homosassa. This is a native Florida variety, 
originating at Homosassa, 
Florida, in the grove of 
Mr. Yulee. It is gener- ■ T " 
ally considered by experts 
the very best of the Florida 
varieties. The fruit is me- 
dium in size, heavy, bright 
colored, with a thin, tough

Mulberries. 
No progressive farmer can afford to do without a Mulberry orchard. It will furnish berries enough to 
keep his pigs and poultry fat during four months of the year. Some farmers claim that an abundance of 
Mulberries will prevent the hog cholera. 
Hicks’ Everbearing. This gives fruit four months in the year ; it grows very rapidly, and should be 
grown largely by every farmer who pretends to raise hogs. The economic value and merit of the fruit is 
not fully understood by the farmers of the South. 
The Perkins. This is a very fine Mulberry, resembling the Hicks' Ever- 
bearing. Our grafts are from a tree that has borne very heavy crops of extra 
fine berries for years. Its season of bearing is very long. We have named it 
Perkins, the name of the owner of the tree.
