Kuby Oranges 
ORANGES, continued 
Mandarin. Medium size, flattened; 
deep yellow ; skin thin ; segments 
loosely adherent; flesh dark orange- 
yellow, spicyand aromatic. Although 
largely superseded in Florida by 
King, Satsuma andTangerine, which 
like Mandarin, belong to the Citrus 
nobilis group, yet in southern Louis¬ 
iana the Mandarin is still adhered 
to as one of the most profitable sorts. 
Mediterranean Sweet (Sanford’s). 
Large size ; smooth rind. Quality 
good. Ripens late. One of the best 
of General Sanford’s introductions. 
Nonpareil. Size medium to 
slightly larger, somewhat flattened ; 
grain fine, pulp melting and tender; 
juice subacid and vinous; quality 
best. Tree vigorous and prolific. 
A very desirable early variety. 
Old Vini (Beach No. 4). Size 
medium, slightly flattened ; color 
dark orange ; pulp melting ; juice 
subacid ; pleasant sprightly quality. 
Oneco. Of full, medium size for 
the Mandarin type. The color of 
skin is red, like Tangerine, and it 
also possesses a decided Tangerine 
aroma. The fruit is of good quality 
and reminds one of Satsuma, Tangerine and 
King blended. 
Paper Rind (St. Michael). Fruit medium 
size, round; quality good ; productive. Tree 
a vigorous grower. 
Parson Brown. Size medium, round or 
slightly oblong ; peel smooth, texture fine; qual¬ 
ity good. Keeps and ships well. One of the best 
of the early varieties. Begins to ripen in Oct. 
Pineapple. A most excellent variety intro¬ 
duced some years ago from the Orange lake 
region of Florida. It has, during recent years, 
attained, and very justly so, a great amount of 
prominence. The tree is a very strong, upright 
grower; prolific. Fruit medium to large; peel 
thin but tough, very smooth and bright ; heavy, 
juicy and of excellent quality. We consider 
this one of the best round Oranges and recom¬ 
mend it as one of the most profitable sorts for 
extensive planting. 
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. One of the 
best of the Blood Oranges. The tree is vigorous, 
nearly thornless, and a regular bearer. We 
esteem this one of the most valuable varieties 
for general planting. 
St. Michael’s Blood. One of the best of the 
Blood Oranges. Fruit medium size, almost 
round, with thin but tough skin ; pulp juicy, 
melting, rich and of exquisite flavor, being un¬ 
surpassed in quality. Usually the fruit becomes 
mottled or streaked with blood-red as it ripens, 
the pulp often a beautiful, rich ruby-red, show¬ 
ing through the peel in a reddish blush. Is a 
regular bearer, vigorous and nearly thornless.
