Citrus Fruits 
the best of the early varieties. Begins to ripen 
in October. 
Ruby. Medium-sized, nearly round; skin 
thin but very tough; pulp melting, rich, juicy 
and of exquisite flavor; quality unsurpassed. 
As the fruit ripens it usually becomes streaked 
or mottled with blood-red; often the entire 
pulp gets ruby-red, showing through the peel in 
a reddish blush on the outside. Ruby is the 
best of the blood Oranges, and its eating quality 
is good before the markings show. The tree is 
vigorous, nearly thornless, and a regular bearer. 
We esteem this one of the most valuable varie¬ 
ties for general planting. 
Satsuma (Synonyms: Oonshiu. Kii Seedless). 
Of medium size; flattened; loosely adhering 
rind and easily separated segments like all other 
varieties of the Mandarin {Citrus nobilis) group; 
the color is a deep yellow; flesh fine-grained, 
tender, juicy, sweet and delicious; entirely seed¬ 
less. Ripens in September, October and No¬ 
vember. Tree of somewhat smaller growth than 
other Oranges, and is of unique habit. Entirely 
thornless. Bears when very young. This is un¬ 
doubtedly the hardiest known variety of edible 
Orange, and this, in connection with its early 
ripening and fine quality, makes it an exceed¬ 
ingly valuable sort. We are growing it largely 
in our own Orange groves at Glen Saint Mary, 
in northern Florida, and are probably the largest 
propagators of this variety in America. When 
budded on Citrus trifoliate it is the best variety 
for general planting throughout northern Florida 
and the Gulf coast Orange region generally. 
Sweet Seville (Sanford’s). Size medium, 
round; a good keeper and shipper; sweetens 
first of the early kinds, and is known distinctly 
as a sweet Orange. Tree vigorous and prolific. 
Tangerine (Dancy’s). One of the well-known 
“kid-glove” Oranges; belongs to the Mandarin 
group. Flat, small to medium; skin separates 
freely from the flesh; juicy, aromatic, and rich, 
of a deep red color. Particularly good grower 
and prolific. December, January and February. 
Valencia Late. A very late and very prolific 
variety of fine quality. Season May and June, 
but fruit will hang on trees till August or Sep¬ 
tember. Fruit of good size, oval or rounded in 
shape; juicy and tender. 
Washington Navel. Like other Navels, bears 
a peculiar umbilical formation on the summit 
or blossom end of the fruit; this protuberance 
is not so prominent as in some varieties of Navel 
Orange. The fruit is large to very large, some¬ 
what oval; flesh meaty, tender, sweet and 
highly flavored; an exceptionally luscious fruit.
