Citrus Fruits 
In planting Citrus Fruits, three things are of primary importance—soil, climate and trees. 
Good judgment must be exercised in the selection of a location, that the trees may be set in 
ideal surroundings, for no amount of expense and labor will overcome unsuitable conditions. Prepare 
the soil well; this is easier done before than after planting. 
Having selected a good soil and a suitable location, it is essential that good trees be procured. 
These should be well grown with clean, smooth trunks, not stunted nor bark-bound, but vigor¬ 
ous, thrifty trees. They should be free from insects and diseases, carefully dug and carefully packed, 
so as to reach the planter in good condition. Given the right sort of care, and planted properiy in 
well prepared soil, these are the kind of trees which will give the best results. 
In addition to all this, the trees must be “true to name,” for no one can tell until they come 
into bearing whether they are or not, and success or failure depends on their genuineness. I n growing 
our trees, we spare no expense in producing the best that can be grown. We produce trees to fill 
the conditions set forth above. Our constant aim is to secure quality, for the purchase of cheap, 
poorly grown, mixed trees is the most expensive investment that can be made. It is not the cost of 
trees that counts, but the expense of planting and after care. 
Unless otherwise instructed, all Citrus trees are trimmed ready for planting before shipping. 
Trees on Sour Orange and Rough Lemon Stocks 
For general planting in the Citrus districts, Sour Orange stock will be found most satisfactory. 
It is adapted to a wide range of territory and conditions, but prefers rather heavy soil and a good 
supply of moisture. Its habit of developing a deep root system, its thrifty vigorous growth, its hardi¬ 
ness, its immunity from foot-rot, and its general adaptability to different varieties of Citrus fruits, 
arc all strong points in its favor and well worthy of note. 
Rough Lemon stock produces a very strong growth of bud placed upon it. It is recommended 
for plantings on dry soils and in those localities where either lack of moisture or trying soil conditions 
render the use of Sour stock inadvisable. It is particularly adapted to deep sandy soils. Most shy- 
bearing varieties arc much more prolific on Rough Lemon stock. It cannot be recommended for 
the colder sections.
