(mild) oil, preferred (by amateurs) to the heavier oil, and the tree is such an abun- 
dant bearer that an acre of them will yield a very large amount of flue oil. Some ex- 
periments we witnessed lately have raised this Olive very much in our estimation. 
In fact it now bids fair to become the favorite Olive in this country. 
There are some new kinds being introduced of late. ^We'have a tew of them, but 
have not seen them fruited enough to judge of their merit. 
E^"01ive trees are very scarce this season, and parties desiring to secure them will 
do well to order early.

Olive trees in propagating boxes 4 to 12 inches in length; prices given on applica- 
tion. At this writing prices have not been established on that class of stock, the same 
is true to a great extent on all kinds of Box plants, but we will be in position during 
the selling season tc give as good terms as other nurserymen. 
ORANGE AND LEMON TREES. 
In view of the great scarcity of Orange trees in this State, and our inability to get 
California-grown trees, we (early in the spring of 1887) sent buds to Florida (of the 
genuine Washington Navel from Riverside, Cal.), and had a large lot buded to order. 
Later in the season our nurseryman, Mr. Williamson, went to Florida and bought a 
large lot of the best known Florida kinds. We shipped out and sold last winter all of 
these that were large enough, and the smaller ones and others grown to order for us, 
will be brought out this season, and we do not he.sitate to say that we shall bring out 
for sale this season the finest lot of Orange and Lemon trees that was ever offered in 
this State. Our trees are not only fine trees but they are all of the very best varieties 
in America. Below we give a brief description of kinds. All are true to name, 
having been buded to our order; also trained or shaped especially to suit the Cali- 
fornia demand. Our success in handling these Florida trees exeeeded our most 
sanguine expectations last season. With the exception of one car that arrived late 
in the season and got heated in transit, there was not to exceed 2 per cent, that 
failed to grow when planted— the smallest per cent, of failure we’ve ever knew with 
Orange trees. We will take contracts to plant large lots of these Orange and Lemon 
trees on reasonable terms and guarantee them to grow, thus showing our faith in 
this stock. 
Most of these trees are budded on the Florida Sour Stock, and we believe 
that to be the hardiest and best root, but we have trees worked on the Sweet root 
and can furnish them to parties preferring that stock. We can also furnish large 
Sweet seedlings for planting in orchard ; also large Sour orange trees for avenue 
planting. There is no finer avenue or street tree than the sour orange.

is a useless expense.
