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 disappeared from cultivation. The list, however, is still large. 
The names in heavy type are designed to constitute a complete list for the State, em¬ 
bracing 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, may be 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” applies to varieties marketed in September and October; “early,” to October and No¬ 
vember varieties; “early medium,” November and December; “medium,” December, Janu¬ 
ary and February; “late medium,” February and March; “late,” March and April; “very 
late.” April, Ma}^ and later. 
Note. —The region of orange production proper extends southward from Central 
Florida, overlapping the upper portion of Southern .Florida. Therefore, under “Adapta¬ 
bility” below the varieties have been starred for “Southern Florida;” here, however, the 
starring applies more particularly to the upper portion of the district.
