KIN-KAN, or KUMQUAT 
This is another Japanese production, and is being planted largely in this country. 
This tree is of bushy habit, forming a shapely, round head, making it a very handsome 
tree. It is very hardy, and bears quite young, as soon, in fact, as there is enough wood 
to hold fruit. The fruit is about an inch by one and a half inches in size and is eaten 
peel and all, or used for preserves and to crystallize and sell for fancy prices. The tree 
is an enormous bearer, and the fruit is a rich, deep gold color, and, as it will hang on 
the trees for months, makes a very attractive appearance. In sections further north it 
can be grown in a tub and taken in when cold weather comes. The fruit being edible, 
the tree is much preferable to the Otaheite as an ornament. Every southern garden 
should have a few Kumquat trees.
