For the ‘‘preserving orange,” your guess is probably better than mine. 
Someone who was out here once — probably the County Agent — thought it 
might be the same thing as the "Wilson shell," but I have never seen 
anything on the “Wilson shell," either, so that doesn’t get us anywhere 
Ail I can tell you is that, to the best of my recollection, my parents 
got their original bud wood from friends (or friends of friends) over 
in Arcadia. The variety may well have originated with those people, 
and the name "preserving orange," itself, either with them or with my 
parents. Note from Elling Eide, 12 June 1982.
