CITRUS FRUITS. 
SWEET ORANGES —Citrus aurantium. 
Note. —The development of orange culture in this State has given rise to a multiplicity of 
varieties, many of which, while meritorious, have no distinctive qualities, or superiority, as compared 
with others. It has been deemed advisable to omit the names of many varieties which have disap¬ 
peared from cultivation. The list, however, is still large. 
The names in heavy type are designed to constitute a complete list for the State, embracing 
varieties of the highest excellence in all the desired characteristics of season, quality, distinctiveness, 
productiveness, etc The names in light type are those whose characteristics are possessed in an 
equal or superior degree by other varieties which appear in heavy type. Some varieties in light type 
equal others in heavy type having the same characteristics but where there is a difference it is in 
favor of the varieties in heavy type. In cases of equal excellence, the best known has the preference. 
So that the varieties in heavy type, as a whole, and without disparagement to other excellent sorts, 
maybe said to embrace the leading kinds for general culture 
New, or comparatively unknown varieties also appear in light type; but for this distinction see 
“Adaptability” column. 
Note. —In referring to the time of ripening, in the column headed “Season”, “very early” ap¬ 
plies to varieties marketed in September and October; “early”, to October and November varieties; 
“early medium”, November and December; “medium”, December. January and February; “late 
medium”, February and March; “late”, March and April; “very late”, April, May and later. 
Note. —The region of orange production proper extends southward from Central Florida, 
overlapping the upper portion of Southern Florida. Therefore, under “Adaptability” below the va¬ 
rieties have been starred for “Southern Florida”; here, however, the starring applies more particu¬ 
larly to the upper portion of the district.
