Duncan Pomelo 
POMELO. Grapefruit 
The Pomelo, or Grapefruit, as it is commonly called in the markets, has taken a place in citrus 
fruit culture beside the orange as an important market fruit. Its use is increasing from year to 
year, and it has become, par excellence, the breakfast fruit of America. No fruit compares with it 
in refreshing, appetizing qualities, and to those who have learned its merits it is indispensable—it 
becomes a necessity. 
While many varieties of Pomelos have been named and introduced, we are listing only a few 
of those which experience has proven to be the most suitable for general planting. Duncan is, in 
our experience, the hardiest of all. It will stand as much cold as the hardiest of the sweet oranges. 
Along the Gulf coast it has given an excellent account of itself, and we are propagating it largely on 
Citrus trifoliata stock. Marsh Seedless is a good variety for general planting and is highly regarded 
because of its being seedless or nearly seedless. The tree is low and spreading. McCarty, a new 
variety introduced by us a few seasons ago, is noteworthy because of its exceptional quality, the 
fruit being smooth and velvety, but the strong point in its favor is that it is borne scattered over 
as Duncan. .... 
To the planter of citrus trees the Pomelo commends itself because it comes into bearing early 
and bears extremely heavy crops. It is not too much to say that the Pomelo tree will bear more 
fruit per tree than any other citrus tree. 
We have given particular attention to the growing of Pomelo trees for many years. In our 
test grove we have the different varieties in fruit, and are, therefore, in position to speak definitely 
concerning their merits and to know definitely that our stock is genuine.
