CATALOGUE OF FRUITS. 
; 
Thb Blood Varieties are sweet, and therefore marketable, early in season, as indicated by 
th« abbreviations in the “Season” column. At this time their distinctive character is not apparent, 
and they have little advantage in market over other early sorts. As the season advances, their ruby 
tints develop, until quite apparent on the exterior,and their quality continues to improve until, at full 
ripeness, they are equaled by few and surpassed by none. In locations sufficiently exempt from frost 
to permit their being held on the trees until they reach perfection, they bring high prices and are 
exceptionally profitable. 
Other Varieties. —Excluding the Navels, Bloods and Satsuma, noted above, and without dis¬ 
paragement to other sorts of equal merit, the following are suggested as a desirable list for general 
planting, arranged in order of succession: Very Early, Boone, Sweet Seville; Early, Enterprise Seed¬ 
less, Parson Brown; Early Medium, Nonpareil, Centennial; Medium, Pineapple, Jaffa, Homosassa; 
Late Medium, Majorca, Du Roi; Late, Bessie, Maltese Oval; Very Late, Hart 
Varieties distinctly marked in their exterior appearance, like the Navels, Bloods, Du Roi, etc., 
are, other things being equal, most desirable for market.

Remarks —No. 1, a favorite in the New Orleans market; No. 2, the favorite of the group. The 
Satsuma is valued on account of its hardiness, which is increased by being budded on the entirely 
hardy C. trifoliata. It is much planted in sections north of the usual range of oranges.
