OWARI 
SATSUMA 
To tell the whole interest¬ 
ing story of the Owari 
Satsuma would take too- 
much time and space—so- 
we “cut it short.” 
About 1885 we secured a 
lot of bud-wood from Fruit- 
land Park. Groves planted 
with trees from this stock 
became noted for the high- 
quality fruit produced. This 
quality was so pronounced 
that an investigation was 
made by Dr. Tanaka and 
Mr. Scott, who decided that 
the trees were the pure Jap¬ 
anese Owari strain. 
Therefore, for more than 
forty years we have given 
special attention to the Owarr 
Satsuma. Our records show 
it has withstood 15 degrees 
(Fahr.) without injury, when 
budded on Citrus trifoliata — 
the only understock adapted 
to it. Trees are heavy bearers 
and produce profitable crops 
over the entire Satsuma- 
growing territory. For sizes 
and prices see page 27.

LIMEQUATS 
Limequats might be called “little lemons” 
on account of the size and appearance of the 
fruit. The plant grows 8 to 12 feet high, is 
somewhat spreading, and has the usual glossy 
green foliage of Citrus trees. The fruit is about 
2 inches in diameter, bright yellow, and a 
mature plant is heavily loaded. The flavor is 
sharply acid and used chiefly in making “ades” 
and similar drinks. 
NAGAMI 
KUMQUAT 
Ornamental and use¬ 
ful applies directly to 
both Kumquats and 
Limequats. The plants 
are small, seldom grow¬ 
ing more than 12 feet 
tall, with a spread of 
branches about equal to 
the height. The foliage 
is bright, dark green, 
and is as handsome as 
that of any other ever¬ 
green shrub. Both Kum¬ 
quats and Limequats 
are hardy, even as hardy 
as the Satsuma Oranges. 
The fruit of the Kum- 
quat is small, varying 
from an inch to 2 inches 
long, begins to ripen in 
mid-November, and is 
used chiefly for mar¬ 
malades and jellies. See 
page 27 for sizes and 
prices.
